Your One Stop For Western DIY Hunts
Navigating Western hunting tags can feel overwhelming. Each state has its own system, deadlines, and strategies—leaving many hunters to believe quality tags are out of reach without expensive outfitters.
At The Hunt Source, we’re here to change that. We specialize in helping DIY hunters gain consistent access to public land opportunities year after year through custom-tailored plans designed for your unique goals.
We don’t recycle pre-written plans or send hundreds of hunters to the same unit. Instead, we take the time to understand your needs, preferences, and timeline—whether you’re just starting or looking to expand your Western hunting portfolio.
Our focus is simple: put more tags in your pocket and help you become a more successful, self-reliant hunter.
Our Services
Application Roadmap
With this service, we’ll create a complete, customized plan to help you draw tags out West and give you a clear roadmap for your hunting goals for one species. Before the session, we’ll review your priorities — whether that’s hunting every year, targeting trophy units, or creating opportunities for your whole family — so your plan is tailored to you. During the call, we’ll map out which states and units to apply for, how to balance short-term opportunities with long-term goals, and backup options to maximize your chances of success. Deadlines, strategies, and draw odds will all be clearly laid out. You can use this plan to submit your own applications or pay us handle them for you when they open, using the strategy we created together. One species is included per roadmap, please schedule a second session for another species.
Hunt Plan
This hour-long session builds a customized plan for one specific hunt so you can head into the field fully prepared. Before we meet, you’ll answer a couple questions so I can tailor the plan to your unit, species, and goals. During the call, we’ll map out access points, game movement, terrain strategies, and backup options, giving you a clear, step-by-step roadmap. What sets this service apart is that it includes a second 30-minute reevaluation call during your hunt — so if conditions change or you just need fresh advice, you’ll have direct support to adjust your plan and stay on track.
What’s Included:
One 60-minute call to build your customized hunt plan
A second 30-minute reevaluation call during your hunt
