I used to live in Washington State up at Fort Lewis back when I was in the Army. I did a lot of hunting up there and I remember discovering something called “The High Buck Hunt” in the Washington hunting regulations. While I never did a high buck hunt myself, I was always fascinated by it and was very curious about just what the heck the deal was with that hunt. With that in mind, we have a special guest on the show today to talk about the high buck hunt and what makes it special: Jeff Roberts from Pacific North Wild.

While all the big deadlines have passed for 2021, it’s not too late to start preparing for the 2022 hunting draws and you can STILL purchase points in both Montana and Wyoming right now. So, even if you’re just now getting started with this stuff, you can go buy points in both states and use them in the upcoming 2022 draws. I’ll be doing that myself for deer, elk, and pronghorn in both states and you should too, if nothing else, buy a pronghorn point in Wyoming and a deer point in Montana.
I’m planning on heading out to both states to hunt in the next few years and I’ll be using goHunt as my primary tool to help with the research and planning process. My goHunt INSIDER membership is one of the best investments I’ve ever made that’s helped me experience some incredible adventures for deer, pronghorn, and elk hunting out west.
