Our handsome host is joined again by Cole & John as they continue the saga of their western hunt for the elusive mule deer. This episode has an emphasis on John's journey as this was his first western and mule deer hunt. John is an avid whitetail hunter and the change of scenery was a learning experience. 

Welcome back to the first episode of 2026. This week we are serenaded by the soothing voices of both Carter and Luke as they discuss some new years resolutions - A change from our typical hunting discussions. The boys talk about new years resolutions, why waiting until January to set new goals could be setting your self up for failure, and the path ahead for both our hosts. 

Oh no, it's them Wyoming boys again. And most of them aren't even from Wyoming. 

Welcome back to another of episode of the Hunt Lift Eat podcast. We have a stacked crew for this episode and the boys are stocked to share this multi series release over the next few weeks talking about how some whitetail hunters tried their hand at some Wyoming mule deer. 

It finally happened and we are here to really talk about it. 

Welcome back to another episode of the Hunt Lift Eat podcast. In this episode, Carter and Luke get into all the details and work that it took for Luke to finally punch his first bull elk tag. This has been a hunt that Luke has been on many times, but the opportunity just never presented itself. Not this time -- This time Luke was finally able to punch the tag, forgo the tag soup, and stock his freezer to the brim. 

We are back and better than ever after a little thanksgiving R&R.
