This Dan guy is very hard to listen to. What a negative, self centered asshole. Way to promote hunting you dick.
EXCELLENT!!
Yeah I just cannot get on board with this Michael Easter guy. Marathon runners and body builders cannot carry a pack like an outdoors person training. Then a country whom is un‐developed that thinks about death daily is considered one of the happiest places. Go work in a hospital that sees death. If anything they become numb of death.
one of my top 10 favorites since the beginning
MK mentioned the Back 40 in a commercial. I thought they were going to give that away in a contest. Did they ever do that?
This guy railing on the behavior of the meatpacking industry clearly hasn't read "The Jungle". 100 years & they haven't changed a bit. Why aren't there local meat lockers like 40 years ago? Our politicians care about big business, not people. The people found it easier to defer the work & processing to larger corporations. 100 years ago the monopolies were broken up & we let them re-emerge in the last 30 years.
#trashntines for the trash pickup?
psst I'll paint the entire GOP as detrimental to sportsman's interests. They want to give public land away and pollute the private land & waters...all in the name of their donors, not in public interest.
love the podcast! I am trying to find the podcast you did on the deer forest study from PSU on tracking collars. Can you point me in the right direction. thanks
6:00 & they answered a question I've been kicking around for 2 days. Now...what else can I worry about before tomorrow's hunt, likely the last this season.?
cant hear Spencer
Mark just reiterates industry trends/opinions. not sure he ever has original content, nor am I convinced he kills big bucks. poser.
Good show. My only gripe is that it takes 5 minutes for it to actually start.
Hey Mark I listen to you all the time and I'm a fan of you and all the guys you had on the Tethrd Saddle Hunting Episode. Your best episode to date. You have to invite those guys again. Nothing is better than hanging in a tree hunting! Keep up your amazing work and I look forward to hearing your next podcast! And by the way you have a great voice! Sincerely, Mark Pardo
you guys can talk about your kids and how it correlates with hunting all you want. I never had a problem with it before but now that I'm about to become a father it resonates with me even more.
6AM 7xss a
Awesome podcast!
This was great lol!
hey casey
Hey man, like the show. Lots of good info on tactics and great stories. Was kinda hoping to ask a favor about scents. Specifically doe in heat types, whether it's a wick or a drag or a dripper. was hoping to get your opinion on this tactic. I've been hunting for 20plus years and used them, not used them back and forth. I do most hunts on Ohio public land. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this. thanks a lot, much appreciated.
