Colorado Mule Deer Plans w/ Abbey Krebs

Brian and Abbey sit down around a bonfire at their Back 40 farm to talk about Abbey's first western hunt, what it’s like preparing for out-of-state hunts, and the difference between hunting from your backyard stand versus hitting the road for a big trip.

Om Podcasten

Drawn West is for the hunters who load the truck each fall — chasing bugles, big country, and something deeper than just filling a tag. Host Brian Krebs dives into tag strategies, gear prep, and real-world advice to help non-resident hunters make the most of limited time out West. Each episode features expert guests and gritty stories from hunters you’ve never heard of — the kind who get it done with one week, one tag, and no excuses.
