Drawn West is a podcast for hunters who load up the truck, burn vacation days, and hit the road chasing the kinds of adventure you can’t find close to home.

Whether you’re crossing a couple counties or a few time zones, hunting away from home brings its own set of challenges — from drawing tags to scouting ground you've never stepped foot on and getting on animals. Drawn West exists to help you overcome those obstacles and make the most of every hard-earned trip.

Through real stories, state-by-state breakdowns, strategy episodes, and lessons from the field, we help everyday hunters plan better, hunt smarter, and turn limited time in the field into unforgettable memories.

Some of my favorite moments have happened miles from home — hearing a herd bull light up at 40 yards, slipping in on a bedded mule deer with only minutes of daylight left, or staring at a tag in my hand knowing what it took to get there. My goal is to help you reach that same moment — when the pack is heavy, the miles were worth it, and you realize you just pulled off something most never will.

Because drawing the tag is just the beginning. The real hunt starts the minute you hit the road.
