Soooo awesome!

I love this show so much! I listen to each new episode the day it comes out and I am always waiting for the next one!!!!! I am thirteen and just started hunting and I love to listen to all the awesome MeatEater stories! Definitely a 5 star show ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent

Episode 551 was great. Clay was definitely onto something, Steve needs to dial down the girlfriend talk! The outro turkey song is the best I’ve heard! I listened to it several times and sent it to a bunch of friends! This song needs to go mainstream.

Trivia slurping… delete
