Love this crew

Meat Eater podcast is my favorite & listen from Australia wishing I was in Montana!
Always interesting guests & perspectives. I do enjoy the guests but to be honest the hunting reviews & stories are always the best. Keep it up!

Good show, sometimes they have retarded guests who say like so much you want to kill yourself though.

WillBurgess ,

Love the meat eater trivia and the other episodes but sometimes they run for a little bit too long
