Great Podcast

I listen to all these episodes every year before the start of the whitetail season. I feel like I learn something new every time. Dan is incredibly generous with his knowledge.

Either your a beast or you aren’t

I love Dan’s No nonsense approach. This podcast is to teach the tactics he has learned over his lifetime of killing big mature bucks on public land. Even the hunting stories have a lesson in them. Great job Dan and Mario.
