Once you draw a tag… that is where the real work starts. It used to take countless hours of research to start making decisions for the fall. Now, with GOHUNT Insider, you can quickly search to find your hunt and get detailed information in a fraction of the time.

Using INSIDER for your hunts this fall

Example 1: Mule Deer in Wyoming Region H

Let’s say you drew a deer tag in Wyoming Region H, which allows you to hunt in 14 different areas. If you’re an out of state hunter, you can’t waste your time trying to scout each area or just take a guess and pick the one that “looks” best on a map.

Here are the simple steps we follow to find the right hunt:

  1. Navigate to Filtering 2.0 -> Wyoming-> Mule Deer. 133 areas

  2. Filter Trophy Potential to 180 inches or greater. 24 areas

  3. Filter Season to Rifle - General. 19 seasons

  4. Filter by Harvest Success of 50% or better. 1 season

Example 2: Over-the-counter elk opportunity in Idaho

Here are the simple steps we follow to find the right hunt:

  1. Navigate to Filtering 2.0 -> Idaho -> Elk. 98 units

  2. Under Season, select “Early Rifle (Over the Counter)”. 29 results

  3. Filter Trophy Potential to 310 inches or better. 8 results

  4. Sort by Male-to-Female Ratio. 2 results are tied for the highest ratio (44:100)

  5. Compare percentage of 6-point bulls harvested. 1 result wins (33% vs 22%)

What's next?

At this point in either scenario, you can enter the Area/Unit Profile and start diving deeper. There you will find detailed maps, terrain photos, private land %, access points, weather trends, historical harvest data, etc.
