Hey, what's going on guys? Welcome back to the Mike force podcast. It is your host Mike G.

I'm a little rundown right now. Just get back from the hunt and desert Utah. It's that

desert Utah, but it's in desert a hunting conservation easement basically in north east

Utah on the border with Evanston. Look, I have the opportunity to go out there with black

rifle coffee, thanks to Evan Hafer and the team at black rifle coffee for hooking up

with the tag and actually harvested the first bull elk of the season at desert, but also

the first bull elk maybe in the state. I don't know if that's a bragging right or not,

but I certainly was stoked about it. Rifle, 800 pound, 6 by 6, 320 to 330 if you're

tracking antlers, but I am certainly tracking meat, 200 to 300 pounds of meat. I'm talking

about like a six foot long back strap, the four quarters is going to be tons of steak,

tons of sausage for my company as well as sharing some of that with black rifle coffee staff.

Look, I was stoked for it. It's an amazing opportunity to get out and hunt anytime, but hunting

for me is a deliberate plan. It is very intentional. Like, I don't just wing it last minute and

go, oh, I'm going to go on a hunt. I'm thinking about this stuff six months out. So basically,

after hunting season's over, I'm thinking about what's the next opportunity to get out

there and hunt. So I have hunting lined up in the future, even in a few days, going to

hunt with Andy Stump, as well as tags in Iowa for white tail, also a couple tags for

pronghorn in Wyoming. This is not stopped for me because I'm thinking about filling the

freezer. I just finished off the last bit of mule deer that I have from last hunting season,

but my kids are getting bigger and their heads are getting bigger and they need to eat.

So it's certainly something that I want you to think about in self-reliance and living

your best or prepped life because you need to be cutting the embellical cord to the supply
