Elk Don't Exist
Manage episode 492024026 series 2937212
We finally got Dillon Deitz on the show, and we spiraled straight into bear season heartbreak, spiritual introspection, and some of the funniest roasts he's done as a practicing comedian.
Dillon the brains and banter behind Elk Don’t Exist, a counterculture hunting brand born from missed shots, public land grind, and the realization that pretending to be a badass makes hunting a lot less fun (for him). We dive into his Montana bear season, the mental game of hunting, and how being honest about your screw-ups, your faith, and your potentially offensive jokes is the real badge of honor in the woods.
We also get into:
Why humor makes hunting better
What it’s like building a brand that doesn’t pretend to be elite
The hilarious (and sometimes unhinged) comments Dillon fields online
Stoicism, Jesus, and that one time a homeless guy humbled an emperor
The power of self-deprecation, Deer Camp comedy, and just being yourself
If you’ve ever missed a shot, doubted your place in the hunting world, or wondered if your goofy, camo-wearing self belongs, you’re not alone. You’re in damn good company among our two brands.
