During a recent company meeting we collectively paused to reflect on all the change that has taken place at GOHUNT over the last year. It was amazing to think of all the changes and enhancements that we have gone through. We took pride in the new changes that are currently being released before the end of 2015. These new changes are undergoing a series of rigorous testing protocols prior to being released to the INSIDER membership. The point here is that we at GOHUNT are never satisfied and we will always look to improve what we provide.

We now cover eight western states on INSIDER. Hopefully you have had the time to get acquainted with our recently launched Filtering enhancement. This was a major milestone for us at GOHUNT, and an incredible research tool for you. Filtering 2.0 is an industry first that provides you with the ability to search for season choices that meet your criteria. You can now filter seasons by state, species, weapon type, trophy potential, dates of availability, harvest success and male:female ratios. In addition, you can search for over-the-counter only options if desired. This is revolutionary in helping you to take literally thousands of choices and narrow it down to only a few. Think of the time and money this could potentially save a Western hunter! You can check out more information on INSIDER enhancements on Lorenzo's recent inSIGHTs article.

The 2016 Application Season

The best way to gain an understanding of how a state’s draw system works is to pay close attention to our application strategy articles that will be available from January through May. These articles are strategically released to coincide with upcoming hunt application deadlines across the states that we cover.

If you’re unfamiliar with our application strategy articles, you will quickly realize we do things a little differently. These application strategy articles are focused on how you can gain an edge and they provide important graphics to help you understand key information.

Although it will seem overwhelming as we unleash a barrage of application strategy articles during the winter and spring months, it is important to understand that these pieces will be your resource to gain an understanding of everything you need to know about a given state.

You will also learn of the areas within each state that have been producing trophies, and areas that may be under producing.

We will provide you with areas to consider to help you narrow your search for that amazing hunt. Also included within these Application Strategy articles will be a complete explanation of the draw process. Gaining an understanding of the various draw process is your key to finding success in the draw. Remember that knowledge is power, and this knowledge can give you the power to beat the draw systems.
