Champions League Hunt: Reality Check - The Canyon, Pressure & Wally’s Buck


Listen Later

In Episode 2 of the Champions League Hunt, the crew wraps up their final day of scouting and dives into a bold plan — dropping more than 2,000 vertical feet into a steep Colorado canyon after spotting several promising bulls and a trio of big muley bucks.

With high hopes for opening morning, the team pushes deep into the backcountry, but soon faces the sobering reality of hunting pressure, brutal terrain, and the sheer logistics of packing an animal out of that canyon.

After a long climb back to the truck, the day takes an unexpected turn — a quick stop on the way back to camp turns into a moment of success as Wally King fills his mule deer tag on opening day.

🎧 Episode Highlights:

  • The 3.5-hour descent into the canyon

  • Why the team chose to pull out after opening morning

  • The mental and physical grind of extreme terrain

  • How pressure from other hunters changed the plan

  • Wally’s opportunistic mule deer harvest

  • Reflections on adapting, teamwork, and gratitude in the field

    This episode captures the true spirit of the hunt — tough choices, teamwork, and finding success when you least expect it.
