Episode 7 is a quick one. This is a story of Everland as a whole. Yes, we have a podcast, but the Everland outdoors is so much more. From creating the highest detailed property maps to our future goals of serving the landowner on an even higher level. Here is our stroy, this is what we do. Enjoy.
This week, host Jay reflects on the cherished tradition of Deer Camp, exploring the deep camaraderie, brotherhood, and fellowship that define the experience. As the hunting season begins to wind down, Jay draws a powerful parallel to our spiritual lives: our earnest pursuit of the Lord is not! We discuss why the fellowship at Deer Camp is a unique picture of Christian community and explore practical ways we can maintain our spiritual fervor and connection with God. This episode is a great opportunity for deeper Christian reflection and spiritual growth.
We conclude the meditation on Psalm 1:1, diving into what it truly means to be a "blessed man" in today's world. The verse states: "How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers." Tune in for a meaningful breakdown of this foundational scripture.
After two long years of dedication, strategizing, and anticipation, the Quest for Dave has finally reached its conclusion!
Join us this week on the Everland Outdoors Podcast as Lee recounts the incredible story of his pursuit of a magnificent 5-year-old Michigan whitetail buck named Dave.
This episode is a masterclass in long-term hunting strategy, covering every phase of the two-year journey:
The Blueprint: From the first trail camera picture, learn how Lee built entire food plots and detailed hunting strategies around one specific buck.
The Commitment: The mental resilience required to dedicate two full years to a single trophy.
The Harvest: A minute-by-minute breakdown of the tense, over 10-minute counter that ended with a successful shot at just 7 yards.
More than just a hunting story, Lee reflects on the profound meaning of the two-year commitment—a lesson that goes beyond pursuing a deer.

This week, we confront the raw, real-world challenge of "Big Buck Jealousy" that can creep into even the tightest hunting camp. It’s easy to feel sour when your buddy tags a monster and your own tag is still empty.
We dive into 1 Corinthians 3:3, which directly addresses the fleshly nature of jealousy and strife among believers. The hosts confess that even they struggle with "shards of jealousy" when a friend kills a spectacular deer. This challenge serves as a powerful opportunity for self-reflection and a chance to be shaped into the image of Jesus Christ.
Next, we look at Acts 14:13, where the crowd attempts to offer sacrifices to Paul and Barnabas. This moment of misplaced glory reminds us to check our own ego and focus on the true Creator.
Deer camp is the perfect setting to demonstrate Christ-like conduct. We discuss how to defeat envy by using the camp's forced proximity to practice patience, encourage one another, and genuinely rejoice with those who rejoice. True Christ-likeness is modeled by focusing on the shared connection and brotherhood, rather than the size of the rack. Finally, we use Revelations 21:7 to encourage you to be a courageous and bold overcomer for Christ, demonstrating your faith to your buddies in the woods.
