After a long day of running our two hunter we’re stopped by

Enjoyment
Find Em and Grind em
Worth the review, is the Hunting Collective,
Benny O’Brien, with a worthy perspective,
Fulfilling my ears, on the weekly,
You can’t forget Phil, behind the glass oh so meekly.
I love hearing from guests, like Janis and Cal,
Come with great info? They certainly shall!
One thing that gets me, as a pet peeve,
Is that this is less known, than the pod with a bloke named ‘Steve’.
If you’re after content of the great outdoors,
Then plug in your headphones, and tighten your drawers,
Buckle up folks, because it can fiesty,
Like the vegans, who were quite icey.
I have a lot to say, about this great podcast,
But when it comes to it, I just can’t be assed,
To keep this rhyme going, though I surely could,
I just hope I win, THAT’D be good!
I don’t know where this is going, which is a shame,
Because I really want to win that giveaway game...
Cheers,
Zac Atallah, poet and all-around Fan-boy
Bens Passion and love for all things outdoors is contagious AF
In My top 3 hunting podcasts no doubt,
Benny and the guests he has on the Hunting Collective are true outdoors people, the knowledge that is shared and discussions that are had are both intellectually stimulating, entertaining and thought provoking! A must listen for anyone that enjoys the outdoors even non hunters!
Highly recommend this one!!!
