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.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-20T20:22:24.062654+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/hunt-west-podcast-7078834"},"episode":{"title":"New Muzzleloaders, Mountain Miles & Taking Chances with Tyler Grethen","slug":"new-muzzleloaders-mountain-miles-taking-chances-with-tyler-grethen","published_at":"2026-06-27T12:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/hunt-west-podcast-7078834/new-muzzleloaders-mountain-miles-taking-chances-with-tyler-grethen","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/hunt-west-podcast-7078834","url":"https://huntwest.net/rifles-mountain-miles-taking-chances-with-tyler-grethen","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/ac1d913b-8d7b-4b44-b5f3-6dbc4520f94e/Weatherby_with_Tyler_Grethen.mp3?dest-id=4776387","summary":"This week, Weatherby Marketing Manager Tyler Grethen joins the Hunt West Podcast from Weatherby's headquarters in Sheridan, Wyoming.
