The Hunt Backcountry Podcast

I’ve just about listened to every hunting podcast out there and this is by far the most educational, least biased one out there for reliable info. Steve and Mark’s experienced based info is the best out there IMO. They don’t push any products or brands.

Always very informative and entertaining.

I have listened to this podcast for hundreds of episodes, and even own an Exo pack, but I can’t do it anymore - I had to unsubscribe. Mark is a good host, but Steve is a difficult listen. He has an overinflated sense of self (that clearly comes through in his speech), and as a result, seems comfortable speaking well out of his knowledge base. An example would be a few months back on an episode where Steve was confidently espousing the merits of the 6.5 Creedmore (which I am a fan of, while remaining aware of it’s limitations). Steve made dangerous and irresponsible recommendations about this caliber and it’s suggested use, even though his background is in archery, not rifles. He has admittedly come to rifles quite recently, so it is impossible for him to have a knowledge base requisite to the confidence level he possesses. This is irresponsible for someone in a trusted position of sharing knowledge. This makes me doubt whether any of the information he gives is based on any real knowledge or experience, thus undermining any usefulness to be found in the podcast as a whole. This is a shame, because Mark has obviously put a great deal of work into making this a useful resource for people, but the business owner seemingly has to add his two cents in when he clearly has no place doing so.

Tons of great info!
