EP 36 | Elk Don't Exist But Whitetails Do With Dillon Deitz

Merry Christmas everybody! In today's episode, Alex Comstock and Jeremy Lopez welcome Dillon Deitz to the podcast. Dillon has been hunting his whole life and like most hunters, has encountered many struggles. He started making "hunting humor" content that mimics what it's truly like to hunt elk and quickly realized he connected with many hunters who felt the same way. This led to the launch of Elk Don't Exist. The guys chat about growing up in Idaho and Montana. Dillon walks us through the journey of hunting whitetails in Montana and his impressive 2024 buck. He dives into the unique challenges of hunting western whitetail habitat, where spot and stalk tactics are his favorite. Dillon shares the origins of his popular brand, Elk Don't Exist. The guys talk about the difficulties of hunting elk in low-density areas and why comparison is the thief of all joy. Finally, Dillon reflects on his growth as a hunter, sharing stories of bucks he's taken over the years and why he believes understanding the fun in hunting is more important than any trophy on the wall. Be sure to check out Dillon's content for a good laugh. Enjoy the show!
