In this episode of The Cutter Cast, Seth, Schafer, and Jake sit down and share the hunts that didn’t just fill tags — they changed who they are as hunters and as people.

Seth opens with the story of his first limited-entry elk hunt, a defining experience that shaped the way he hunts elk forever. Jake reflects on his first elk hunt in Wyoming at age twelve — a freezing, difficult, elk-less trip that still taught him lessons he carries today.

Schafer shares a key moment from his early hunting years: the first time he heard a bull bugle at close range during a hunt in a premium unit, and his first archery elk hunt in Utah that taught him the power of patience, persistence, and sticking with it even when things get tough. To close the episode, Seth shares lessons learned from Father Wisdom’s iconic mule deer hunt — a hunt that completely reshaped the way he hunts everything, especially mule deer. This episode is full of real stories, real emotions, and the pivotal moments that forged the Cutter Crew into the hunters they are today.If you’ve ever had a hunt that changed you, this one will hit home.--------------------------------------------------------------Check us out at:Website: https://canvascutter.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/canvascutter/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/canvascutter/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@canvascutter
