On this episode of The Outdoor Aligned Podcast, Max and Luke sit down to break down the second attempt at filling Luke’s Colorado deer tag—an impromptu trip that turned into an unforgettable adventure.

After heading back to Colorado for one more shot, Luke found himself in the middle of three action-packed days of spot-and-stalk hunting, filled with close encounters on big mule deer and impressive whitetails. The terrain, the stalks, and the unpredictable moments kept the energy high and the pressure on.

But persistence paid off. Luke ultimately connected on a heavy, unique, battle-worn whitetail buck—an old warrior busted up from a season of fighting. Taking him on the ground, with a bow, at 30 yards made the moment even more special.

In this episode, you’ll hear the full story: the history behind the buck, how each stalk unfolded, what nearly went wrong, and how the entire trip came together in a big way.

If you love raw hunting stories, ground-level encounters, and the payoff of grit and determination, this is one you won’t want to miss.
