“My buddy Garth is a Huntin’ Fool. He’s hunted every state in the West and does a DIY trip to Alaska every year. When application season rolls around, he is my go-to resource. His intel has helped me draw more tags in better units. Before each hunt, I always pick his brain. His experience hunting the West has saved me time, money, and a lot of boot leather; he’s a real Huntin’ Fool.”

License Application Client Testimonials
I have been a member of Huntin' Fool for many years and have relied on the licensing service to help me apply for various tags in all of the Western states, as well as participating in many of the raffles. Winning the Wyoming super tag raffle for Bighorn sheep would not have happened had it not been for my connection with Huntin' Fool and their team of professionals! Many thanks to them for always keeping me on the front lines and applying me for the best tags in the country!
The Huntin' Fool License Application Service has been an awesome resource for me to apply and obtain those harder to get North American hunting tags. My business and busy schedule keeps me from having the time to research the best hunting areas. This service allows me to have the confidence that I am receiving the best hunting consulting available in the industry. I would highly recommend Huntin' Fool for all your hunting application needs.
I consider my relationship with Huntin’ Fool as important as my CPA or lawyer. My success and my family's success as hunters increasingly hinges on HF keeping our paperwork in order for each state, reminding me of important deadlines and to make informed decisions about what guides to choose for particular areas. They have delivered consistent draw results for my family three years in a row.
This was another great hunt thanks to Huntin' Fool. I have used your License Application Service for many years now and can say I have never been disappointed with the services and recommendations provided. I had a very enjoyable and successful deer hunt in Arizona.
Our team loves high-adventure hunts, and we know how important the time and money spent on hunts is. We know that you yearn to explore new places, summit new mountains, be awestruck by the beauty of nature, and ultimately, to experience the hunting adrenaline rushes that lock those memories in for life.
We are fortunate to call Huntin’ Fool our ‘job.’ Our gratitude for this inspires us to help you make the most of every second you spend in the field. As a thank you, we’d like to help you make planning your adventures less complicated. Let us help you get out of your office and into the woods. Let us help you make more memories in the mountains with family and friends. Let us help you get your tag, pack your bag, climb the mountain, find the spot, make the stalk, take the shot, and share your hunt. There is no element of the entire hunt that we are not willing to help our members with.
Many of our members have been with us for more than 20 years because they know that when it comes to planning hunts, nobody works harder and cares more for their members than the dedicated team of Huntin’ Fool.
Thanks for your consideration.
