Welcome to Elk Don’t Exist: the pod! — the only comedy podcast brave enough to expose the shocking truth the forest service doesn’t want you to know: elk are a government hoax. Join host Dillon Deitz and your favorite hunters, both known and unknown, as they dive antler-first into outdoor misadventures, stories, and maybe even a tip or two. If you suck at hunting, you are welcome here. Whether you’re a die-hard hunter, comedy fan, or somewhere in between, this is your weekly dose of wilderness nonsense, questionable logic, and elk-denying hilarity.
