Chasing Tags and Growing a Hunting Channel From Scratch | HUNTR #326

In this episode of the HUNTR Podcast, we're joined by Eric Chesser, co-founder of Hush, one of the most influential brands in the western hunting space. Eric shares the story of how a passion for documenting hunts grew into one of the most recognizable media brands in hunting. Along the way, we discuss Utah's unique hunting opportunities, elk and mule deer strategies, public land access, and the differences between hunting in the West and the Midwest. We also explore the evolution of the outdoor industry, building an authentic community, creating meaningful brand partnerships, and what the future of hunting media looks like. Thanks for tuning in, and we'll catch you next week. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.00:00 Introduction09:05 Meet Eric Chesser & The Hush Story18:03 Hunting in Utah: Tags, Regulations & Opportunities26:48 East vs. West: How Hunting Differs39:21 Public Land, Wilderness & Elk Hunting51:40 Processing, Packing & Caring for Wild Game01:07:36 Elk vs. Deer: Favorite Hunts & Scouting Strategies01:20:52 How Hush Was Built01:42:51 The Evolution of Hunting Content01:49:46 Building Community & Authentic PartnershipsFollow Eric & Hush:https://www.youtube.com/@UCeE673Co7hqMVNgDsIG5lQw https://www.youtube.com/@UC3GscFogwrA2GEyB5Bn6n-Q https://www.instagram.com/gethushinhttps://www.instagram.com/eric_chesserSUBSCRIBE TO THE CHANNEL:https://www.youtube.com/c/HUNTRTUBEShop HUNTR Merch:https://wearehuntr.com/HUNTR Podcast is presented by:Hoyt Archery: https://hoyt.com (Code HUNTR for 20% off apparel)DeerGro: https://www.deergro.com (Code HUNTR for 15% off)Predator Camo: https://www.predatorcamo.com/ (Code HUNTR for 20% off)Beast Broadheads: https://beastbroadheads.com/ (Code HUNTR for 10% off)Lone Wolf Custom Gear: https://www.lonewolfcustomgear.com/ (Code HUNTR for 10% off your first purchase)RackHub: https://www.rack-hub.com/huntr (Code HUNTR for 10% off)Pure Wildlife Blends: https://www.purewildlifeblends.com (Code HUNTR for 10% off)Primos: https://www.primos.com/ (Code HUNTR for 15% off)Bushnell: https://www.bushnell.com/ (Code HUNTR for 15% off)HHA: https://www.hhasports.com/
