This week on the Tricer Podcast, Drew Miles talks with Cody Covey, a dedicated elk hunter who made the leap from the hardwoods of Vermont to the high country of Colorado. With a background in whitetail and bear hunting, Cody had zero experience chasing Western big game when he made the move 15 years ago—but that didn’t stop him. Through grit, mentorship, and a whole lot of trial and error, he built the skills and mindset needed to consistently notch elk tags year after year. Cody shares what it takes to go from flatlander to seasoned elk hunter, how he made it work on a tight budget, and how he now balances blue-collar life as a construction superintendent with his deep passion for the mountains.
