The Best!

Love this podcast! I listen every time I'm in the car, and share especially interesting podcasts with my husband and family weekly. LOVE the Will Harris/White Oak Pastures episode! Really appreciate the unrelenting support for our Public Lands!

Release Earlier PLEAAASE

Absolutely LOVE the podcast. Being in northern NJ not many people to talk to and / or learn from as an adult onset Hunter.

This podcast is an invaluable tool for learning and staying in the know.

BUT, I drive to work at 4.30am most days.

So my ONLY suggestion selfishly would be if it could be released at 4am instead of 5am so I can listen otw to work PLEASE 🙏

5 stars

I hope Steve reads this, I love this podcast as a hunting fanatic it is awesome to hear interesting and funny stories. I know a guy who you should get on the show, he has a hunting story involving Colorado and a military Blackhawk airlifting someone with him out of the mountains.
