Absolutely loving the Bear Grease podcasts 👍 , Clay and the team are doing amazing topics.
Brent Reeves , This Country Life is a superb series that I would recommend to everyone.
Not advertising anything and only promoting sporting traditions and respect for family , each other and the land we hunt and fish and the quarry we hunt is a genuine breath of fresh air. They are funny , thought provoking and poignant all rolled into one.
