A man with a beard wearing outdoor gear, carrying a bow on his shoulder, walking through orange-colored grass with a dark mountain background. Text overlay reads: "The Hunt West Podcast with Jaden Bales" and a green circular logo in the top right corner shows mountains and the initials "HW".

The Hunt West Podcast is for hunters who’d rather wear out a pair of boots than a YouTube playlist.

Most hunting podcasts give you campfire stories, gear hype, or endless tag talk. Hunt West is different. This is applied hunting wisdom — the stuff that actually helps you find critters and fill tags in the wild country west of the 100th meridian.

Hosted by Jaden Bales — hunt consultant, mule deer junkie, and professional tag nerd — the show mixes solo riffs, guest conversations, and hard-earned lessons from real hunts. You’ll get strategies for e-scouting, application hacks, mindset shifts, and the kind of woodsmanship that still matters when the Wi-Fi goes dark.

If you’re the kind of hunter who loves general seasons, sharp steel, glassing knobs, and planning three tags ahead — welcome home.

  • Having hunted with Jaden a couple of times, I can say with certainty he's a stud in the mountains. Looking forward to more episode drops!
