Luke sits down in the mancave with Kale McCubbins to tell the story of his incredible Missouri whitetail — a main frame 10-point with a 15-inch double beam, nearly 18 inches of antler broken off, and a final score pushing 180 inches. Kale only had a couple trail camera pictures and a hunch the buck was still in the area, so he trusted his instincts and used some creative tactics to stay in the game. On November 13, a little confusion in the stand led Kale to draw on what he thought was a dif...

Kiley’s back — and he did exactly what he said he would in Episode 1. After breaking down early-season whitetail strategies on the very first Outdoor Aligned episode, Kiley put that plan into action and tagged a 147-inch 8-pointer on September 18th. In this episode, Kiley walks through the full story — from scouting and patterning the buck, to his second sit with a thunderstorm rolling in, and the long, rain-soaked recovery that followed.

In this episode of The Outdoor Aligned Podcast, Luke and Max tell the full story of “Ghost,” the 187-inch mule deer that closed out their annual Colorado spot-and-stalk hunt. After a long, careful stalk, a less-than-ideal shot led to a restless night and a big decision — calling in a big game tracking hound to help recover the deer the next morning. The story comes full circle when the guys finally lay hands on a buck they’d known from the year before, with trail cam photos and close encounte...

2025/10/12

In this episode of Outdoor Drop, Luke and Max sit down in the camper to recap days 3 through 6 of their annual Colorado spot-and-stalk mule deer hunt. The trip hasn’t been easy — a shed antler punctured a tire, a few arrows disappeared into the corn, the heat has been brutal, and for a while, the deer just weren’t cooperating. But persistence pays off. Late in the trip, the guys turn up the big buck they spotted on day one and make a careful stalk through the open country. This time, everythi...

In this episode of the Outdoor Drop, Luke and Max sit down by the camper to recap the first two days of their annual spot-and-stalk mule deer hunt. Day one kicked off with a big buck sighting that set the tone for the trip. What followed was a long, intense day of heat, sweat, and stealth as we tried to close the distance on that deer in a thick cornfield. It was an adrenaline-filled stalk that came close — but not close enough. Grab a chair by the fire and join us as we relive the start of...
