Peax Thrive Vodcast

Spring bear season is here, and if your gear isn't dialed right now, you're already behind the curve.
Today, I'm not going to waste your time. I've got 10 pieces of gear sitting here that have earned a spot in my pack this year for spring bears.
We're gonna rip through these and do a quick breakdown on all of them.
Rounding out the gear selection is a brand-new gear item just hitting the spring bear scene, and will definitely be a new addition to my pack.
Trust me, you want, no, you NEED, to know about these.
No long-winded reviews, no sponsor pitches, just what works and why!

So many elk hunters fail for one simple reason…They can't find elk!
But when you really dig into it—that's not the only real problem.
They never built a strategic hunt plan with multiple fully vetted Hunt Areas
More importantly, they did not build a plan that could adapt to a changing hunt situation.
There is one thing you can count on in elk hunting
It's that everything is going to change!
The old adage "no plan survives first contact" is so true when it comes to elk hunting. 
Most hunters have an area or a spot that they are far too emotionally tied to.
Maybe one or two half-baked backup ideas, and a handful of pins that are difficult to decipher.
What they don't have is a fully developed, strategic hunt plan. 
One that includes multiple, fully vetted hunt areas that are ready to implement at a moment's notice.
In today's episode, we are going to break down hunt plans, hunt areas, and a structured approach that may completely change the way you approach your elk hunts.

So much of today's hunting tech is overhyped… or flat-out useless.
But every once in a while, something shows up that actually moves the needle.
This new Bridger Watch might be one of those tools.
We're talking best-in-class topography maps, extreme battery life, fast ballistics, and incredible durability. Watch it go into a blender!  
This watch could legitimately change how you operate in the backcountry!
The question is… is this the next-gen hunting tool—or just more hype?
Let's get into it.

The Bridger Watch
https://www.bridgerwatch.com/

We talk about public land like it's permanent.
Like it will always be there. Like nothing can really change it. 
But what if the real shift isn't happening through legislation?
What if it's happening quietly… through purchase?
What happens when the winter range, the migration corridor, the valley floor, and the only access road all sit behind one locked gate? 
The West isn't disappearing. But it might be consolidating. 
And if that's true, DIY Western hunting could look very different 10- 20 years from now.

On today's Thrive Vodcast show, Mark is joined by Jeff Helm, they are fresh off the Peax Elk and Bear Tour events, and they break down the latest Western hunting news.
In this episode, they dive into Montana's new license changes, including mule deer B tag restrictions, elk, deer, and antelope regulation updates, and a 233% increase to the nonresident base hunting license.
We also cover the brand new nonresident shed hunting rules on Montana WMAs, upcoming tag deadlines for New Mexico, Montana, Colorado, and Utah, and the growing resident vs. nonresident divide across the West.
If you're applying for tags this year—or trying to understand where Western hunting is headed, this episode is for you.
