Customer Reviews
Good content, great show
Along with a cup of coffee this show is a part of my morning drive to work. I appreciate most of the content as it is very applicable as a bird hunter and gun dog owner. One thing that I would like is if Reid would, either read more of his hunting stories or send us a link so that we can read them ourselves. He is an excellent writer and he has a very simplistic yet descriptive style that keeps my mind involved in his stories. Remember!... most of us are working stiffs that love the outdoors. Those stories and these podcasts deaden the pain of our 9-5’s and help us make it through until our next outing in the field.
Thank you!!
Great content, delivery needs improvement
The guests are always great and the content is always interesting. Reid as a host is unlistenable. I find myself constantly shutting off very interesting podcasts because I can’t listen to the “ums” and stumbling through questions, explanations and statements. He always finds a way to turn 5 words into 50, when Greg is on he’s constantly talking over him. I thought this may have just been an issue early on in his podcasting, listened to a recent podcast and there is no evolution. He is a decent author, just decidedly not a good podcaster.
Not a Hunter
Really like this podcast even though I don’t personally hunt.
