All of our recent hunting application tips, plus info from Randy Newberg and Remi Warren
When it comes to strategies to put more tags in your pocket and tips on navigating each state's application process, GOHUNT Insider has you covered! From Insider-only articles to Filtering, to Unit Profiles, to our detailed Draw Odds section, all the way to Point Tracker, Hunt Planner, and much more. There are endless ways to help you research and plan for a hunt this year as well as down the road.
To help out, I thought it would be great to summarize a bunch of recent research articles and videos that we have published.
We cover our Application Strategy articles for every application period across the West.
Currently, our 2023 Wyoming elk and Arizona elk and antelope application strategy articles are published on our website for Insider members only.
If you're new to GOHUNT, we release state-by-state Insider Application Strategy Articles three to four weeks before each state’s deadline. We feel this is the perfect length of time for you to check out the new 2023 regulations, unit boundary changes, herd information, and we cover any potential tag allocation changes before you try to draw your dream tag. Keep in mind that you can always research for your upcoming season by utilizing Filtering, Draw Odds, and GOHUNT Maps well before we release each state's application strategy article. Application season can be very overwhelming, and we try to keep it simple with an easy-to-follow schedule of article release dates. Some of the Application Strategy articles are released within a small window, but that is done to ensure we are providing the best possible information to our users. Different states release their regulations and herd information at tight windows to the application deadline. So we strive to release these articles with all the information possible to help you make your best application decision.
In addition to our Application Strategy articles, we also publish a series of “What you need to know” videos for each state.
Our most recent what you need to know videos:
We also released several podcast episodes to aid in your 2023 application plans. You can check those out below.
To aid in your research and planning efforts, we created a brand new tool for Insiders called Hunt Planner. This tool will help you be more efficient at planning for hunts and also keeps all your research data organized. No more notepads getting lost or headaches when trying to remember what units caught your eye during your research! Everything you need is always in one place at GOHUNT.
