There Are Two Paths You Can Go By
but in the long run, there’s still time to change the road you’re on (you can stack services and roll one into the other).
Hunt West Sessions are built for the DIY hunter who wants direction, not hand-holding. If you already have a tag (or a short list of options), enjoy doing your own research, and just need expert direction to avoid costly mistakes, this is your lane.
In a focused 1-on-1 Session, we’ll cut through the noise and talk real strategy—timing, pressure, access, and the things that actually matter once boots hit the ground. You’ll leave with clear next steps, more confidence, and information you can execute on immediately.
$347 PER SESSION
Complete Hunt Plans are for hunters who want the whole hunt mapped out. If your time is limited, your tag is valuable, or you simply don’t want to learn everything the hard way, this is the move.
I build you a custom, step-by-step blueprint for your hunt—where to focus, how to hunt it, when to move, and what to do when Plan A falls apart. It’s everything a good guide would know, without guide-level pricing. If you want to show up prepared instead of hopeful, this is your path.
