In 2024, I sat down with Cliff Gray after my first DIY elk hunt in Colorado. It honest and full of lessons learned the hard way. This episode is the follow-up.In 2025, I returned to Colorado for a guided elk hunt. Different preparation. Different structure. Different outcome. In this conversation, we break down both experiences side by side so you can decide which path makes the most sense for you.We cover:What DIY elk hunts really demand from first-time huntersThe advantages and limitations of guided elk huntsTime, money, learning curve, and expectationsHow to decide on going DIY vs Guided and whyHow goals can change after unsuccessful elk seasonsIf you’re planning your first elk hunt or trying to figure out what comes next after coming home empty-handed, this episode is meant to help you make a clear, honest decision based on reality, not Instagram highlight reels or You Tube Hunt VideosThis is not a debate about which is better. It’s a comparison based on lived experience. Two hunts. Two approaches. One goal: helping you choose the right elk hunt for where you are right now

Jack Schelble is young, relentless, and wired differently.

In this episode, we talk bowhunting, discipline, and what it really means to work for something that matters . Jack shares how resourcefulness, patience, and embracing discomfort in the woods have shaped the way he approaches life—and why hunger is the ultimate advantage.

This isn’t just a hunting conversation. It’s about earning results, rejecting shortcuts, and showing up with purpose when it matters most.

If you’re chasing growth—in the field or in life—this episode is for you.

This episode is just me being straight about my Illinois rut hunt. I shot a smaller 8-point. He wasn’t a hammer, a magnum, or anything people are gonna freak out about online but the hunt was really an amazing experience after I parsed it out over the last few weeks. I achieved some things that were breakthroughs for me and that was important.

The problem lies not in what happened, but how I perceived it as it was happening and even for a while after it happened. I really did struggle with comparing myself to guys on Instagram where it looked like another 170 was dropping every 30 minutes. Not only did it make me second guess myself after I took the shot, but I was initially embarrassed and considered not posting anything about it.

That's the shame. I accomplished something really big for my journey and I was embarrassed about sharing it. Social media has really messed with our heads as hunters — making us second-guess hunts we’d normally be pumped about, and compare ourselves to guys hunting managed farms or doing this for a living. Most of us aren’t in those situations, and that pressure gets into your decision-making if you let it.

This the best advice I heard this offseason: “You can’t get good at killing big deer if you don't get good at killing deer.” There is a lot that goes into that and I talk about what that means to me. That was in my mind when this buck walked in. I needed the rep. I needed to execute a real shot on a real animal instead of sitting around waiting for a 170 that may never show and then going back into my yard and pounding foam again.

This episode is just an honest look at where I’m at as a hunter right now, what I’m working on, and why this buck mattered to me even if he wouldn’t break the internet.

In this episode, I sit down with NFL veteran Trent Murphy for a wide-open conversation about football, competition, discipline, and the lifestyle that shaped him on and off the field.

Trent walks through his journey from Stanford to the NFL Combine, breaking down what the combine is really like—how athletes train, what scouts actually look for, and the make-or-break moments that define a career before it even starts.

We dive into some of the toughest and most talented players he ever battled in the trenches, the matchups that sharpened him, and the stories that only someone who lived it can tell. From elite offensive linemen to rising stars, Trent names names and explains what separated the great ones.

He also gives his unfiltered perspective on the current state of college football—NIL, the transfer portal, the shifting culture, and what young players need to understand if they want to thrive at the next level.

Trent opens up about how bowhunting became his escape from the constant noise, pressure, and intensity of the NFL. He talks about discovering archery as a way to reset mentally, find peace, and reconnect with nature. That passion didn’t fade after football—it actually deepened. Trent shares how bowhunting evolved into a grounding force in his life long after the stadium lights went out, helping him stay focused, intentional, and centered.

From football to personal growth to the outdoors, this episode gives you inside access to the mindset and habits of a true competitor and lifelong learner. If you’re a football fan, a hunter, or someone who loves high-performance conversations, this one hits every level.
