Dan Gates with Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management, Charles Whitwam, and Mike Costello with HOWL for Wildlife link up with the Big Hunt Guys while attending the Western Hunt Expo to discuss conservation and the threats to hunting, fishing, and trapping.

Anti-hunters want hunting to end forever. The group discusses the need for groups like CRWM and HOWL and why they were established. They also discuss the current campaign by animal rights activists to eliminate mountain lion and bobcat hunting in Colorado and how sportsmen can aid in the fight to preserve the traditions and right to hunt and fish. HOWL and CRWM contribute to amplifying that voice of the hunting community! This is a must-listen; becoming aware of the issues and learning how to contribute is more critical than ever. As part of our commitment to support these organizations and the good they contribute, GOHUNT will donate $200 for every member using the CRWM promo code when purchasing an Insider membership.

With the launch of a new lineup of hunting bows from Mathews Archery, the Big Hunt Guys talk with Mathews own engineer, Mark Hayes. They talk with Mark about his background and love of archery before diving into the new Lift X bows. Mark expounds on Limb-Shift technology, the ARC7 limbs, and the new grip options. They also address the elephant in the room, which was the issue some Mathews bows had with limbs last year. Mark rounds out the discussion talking about arrow selection, vanes, and details his keys for getting great arrow flight.
