I want to hunt in Alaska!

This is a great show for those who want to hunt in Alaska. Jeff does a great job of painting the picture of what Alaska is like and how to plan for a hunt there. I can't wait to go!!! Thanks for a great show Jeff!

Great Conversation, Great Questions

I really enjoy Jeff’s conversations with his guests. He asks thought-provoking questions that help listeners to better understand the guests and topics they discuss. The smoothness of conversation and transition from one topic to the next makes each episode a pleasure to listen to. Jeff does some great work to shed light on the outdoors and life in Alaska.
