Join us this week with our two trusty steeds at the helm of the podcast. As the whitetail season draws near its end, we wanted to take a moment and talk about it in depth. And we mean everything -- The good, the bad, and the ugly. Following after that, Luke gives a good state of the union and lets us in on the moves that HLE is making and what his vision is going into 2026.

For the first part of the episode description we usually say something funny, like Luke's salt and pepper beard. But this is an episode that we are so excited to release.

While the Wyoming boys were on their western expedition, Luke was sitting on a few tags himself. And it wasn't until the boys tagged out that he starting looking for a deer himself. And not just a road forky, but a mule deer that makes you stop in your tracks and say "Damn, now THAT is a mule deer".

And to add to the Mule deer success, less than 48 hours earlier, the boys quite literally stumbled into a herd of elk. A quick trip back into town for an OTC tag and a well executed 850 yard shot made for a long night.

This is for sure a series of stories that you do not want to miss.

Oh no, it's these goobers again. Welcome back to another episode of the Hunt Lift Eat podcast. 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.

It is with great pleasure to introduce Outdoor Colorado, a non-profit, which has an emphasis on youth outdoors. This was a long time dream of Frank Villa Sr., as well as the both Josh and Frank Jr. and their family. Outdoor Colorado has a concentration in bringing the outdoors, including both hunting and fishing, to the youth of their community, the state and the nation. Frank Villa Sr. spent his life expressing the importance of being an ambassador to the great outdoors. Frank Villa Sr. also taught how important it is to share our experiences as outdoorsman, anglers, and hunters with not only our own kids but to all youth. The mission at Outdoor Colorado is to share those experiences by taking the youth into the outdoors and teaching them about conservation, morals, ethics and the responsibilities of being a good sportsman in our world today.

It has been a heck of a couple weeks but we are so stoked to introduce and have Gaven Swinson from Gila Monster Outdoors. Gaven is the founder, owner, CEO, COO, Production Manager, Cameraman, and Audio Engineer for Gila Monster Outdoors - yes, he owns the company. An avid outdoorsman, Gaven has probably spent more days in the outdoors than you can imagine. He has a passion not only for hunting, but capturing those moments on film. Having joined many clients for hunts, Gaven consistently has a smile on his face regardless of the extra 40 pounds he lugs around.
