Joel Raether is the co-founder of Hunt Hike Harvest Outdoors. Raether is a life-long outdoorsman and archery enthusiast. His passion for the outdoors stems from hunting and fishing all types of small and big game animals as well as open water and ice fishing in western Nebraska. In the early 2000’s he moved to Colorado where his love for bugling bulls in September coupled with his background in strength and conditioning fueled the fire for the creation of Hunt Hike Harvest Outdoors (H3O). Raether has a bachelors and masters degree in exercise science and his career spans over two decades training athletes of all ages including collegiate, professional and Olympic athletes. He is a Managing Partner at FAST Performance in Denver Colorado, the head of performance for the Colorado Mammoth Lacrosse Club and has the National Strength and Conditioning Association’s 2020 Professional Strength Coach of the Year.

He has also trained and consulted with all branches of the military, special operations and first responders throughout the United States. It is this union of the outdoors and his profession that drives the vision for H3O to become a beacon within the outdoor industry to be the first (and only) evidence based company to merge physical preparation for high attitude big game hunts with specialized and specific training to assist hunters in maximizing their ability to achieve and yield successful hunts and fill more tags.

Host

Carter Mckenzie

Carter grew up in North Georgia and from a young age had a passion for fishing and the outdoors. He was introduced to hunting as a freshman in college and had been hooked ever since. He has hunted in many states including black bear in Alaska, mule deer and antelope in Wyoming, ducks in Arkansas and North Dakota and most often, whitetail in his home state. With hunting has come a passion for cooking wild game and sharing it with others. Carter is a high school history teacher in John’s Creek, Ga where he teaches AP US history, AP Psychology, and World History. He also coaches several sports including cross country, tennis, and swim team. He lives on a small farm with his wife and 1 year old girl where gardening and self sufficiency are important.

Host

Luke Cox

Luke grew up an Army brat, but his family's farms in Grayson County, VA were constants in his life. He spent his childhood camping, fishing, hiking, and hunting. He barely graduated from Virginia Tech in 2013, where he studied History & Appalachian Studies (super useful in the real world). He somehow commissioned as an Army Infantry Officer despite spending most of his time at Hokie House (local watering hole) or the tree stand. During his second deployment to Afghanistan, he discovered powerlifting and competed in a couple Army competitions. On that deployment his started his MBA but dropped out the first day. Missing hunting season that deployment motivated him to take advantage of every opportunity to be in the woods & lit a spark that has since grown into an obsession. He figured the best way to learn business was to start one, so he launched HLE. He lives with his beautiful wife Caroline in Colorado Springs, CO. They have a young son, a little girl, and two dogs.

Producer

Cole Ried

Cole grew up around the United States as an Army brat but spent most of his time in the DC metro area. Having grown up in the outdoors with camping and fishing from a young age, hunting didn’t come until recently in 2019. He has now hunted whitetail deer, mule deer, antelope, and elk in various states such as Georgia, Colorado, Virginia, Wyoming, & Montana. Being a young hunter, Cole has spent time learning new ways to introduce game meat into his life and share it with others. Cole also has a passion of educating people on hunting and conservationism overall. Cole is currently pursuing his master’s degree in international affairs and political science while working for a private defense contracting firm based out of the DC Metro area. Cole, outside of hunting and fishing, enjoys training for half-marathons and spending time in his garden growing enough vegetables to share with his friends and family. Cole lives in South Carolina with his girlfriend and German Shorthaired Pointer.
