Drawn West

by Drawn West with Brian Krebs

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.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

★★★★★ I’ve listened to a lot of hunting podcasts, and Drawn West is one of the few that I actually look forward to listening to. this show doesn’t feel like it’s just about showing off big animals or expensive gear. There’s a lot of actual hunting knowledge in these conversations, but there’s also the stuff that usually gets left out. The planning, the miles, the mistakes, the learning curve, the reality of having limited time and trying to make the most of one hunt. Brian does a good job of letting people tell their story and actually getting into the details. You get everything from western hunting and tag strategy to scouting, archery, habitat, gear, and just hearing how other hunters approach the same problems we all run into in the woods. honestly, I appreciate that not every guest is some huge celebrity hunter. Some of the best episodes are hearing from regular guys who have put in the work and figured things out for themselves. That makes the information a lot more relatable. I’m a whitetail guy from Kentucky who wants to start chasing some western animals, and this is exactly the kind of podcast I like having in my ears while I’m learning and planning. It makes you want to load the truck, head west, and figure it out. Good hunting stories, good information, and most importantly, it feels genuine. Keep it coming, Brian.

TattedWoodsman · Sep 2026

New to hunting and genuinely a solid podcast for all. Loved the women hunters episode but also love that it’s not just about hunting and basics or stories but even the different weapons and legality and more. Definitely worth the listen!

Caseshae · Sep 2026

I listen to this Pod all the time, great content for the western hunter or someone who dreams of hunting out west

Kebaker07 · Sep 2026
