Sorry about your Grand Ma Cal.
you guys need to check out Chinese Morel cultivation they have whole conferences and harvest hundreds of thousands of pounds a year and actually ship them to the United States another guy in Iowa has been growing them for a while as well way before the Dutch dudes just check out on YouTube Chinese Morel cultivation your mind will be blown
Hey Ol Cal been reading some negative reviews. Just wanted to say don’t let them get you down. They said you are going political and I just don’t get it. I think you are doing a great job and love the information. I’m learning a lot of stuff from states laws that I never thought about. Keep up the good work and good luck in the turkey woods.
This is a great podcast.
I really wish Cal wouldn't out his political views into his podcast. At times he reminds me of CNN! He can really make this podcast not worth listening too. Don't get to big for your britches!
In New Hampshire, we have "Operation: Game Thief". Anyone who sees questionable activity or suspects can call an 800-number and anonymously report what they belief to be unethical or flat out illegal activity and it will be investigated by Fish & Game Conservation Officers.
episode skipped around. tried it in a couple devices and did it both times. right at shark story it went back to cats again.
Any hunter, angler or outdoorsman who hasn't found this little gem is missing out. These episodes are loaded with current outdoors news. They make great conversation starters.
I have been really enjoying this podcast until recently. Why did you have to start being political. I have listened to meateaters podcast because it was a place to get away from the everyday chaos of the news, but you have been really digging in with your personal views. You have ruined my Sunday evening listening pleasure with shit. Thanks Cal for causing me to stop listening and unsubscribing to these once enjoyable news. I hope others stop listening until you do. Have a good day!
Not sure how with give you a 5 star rating but you deserve it. Love your pod cast
I've almost shit myself twice listening to these damn sounds effects with my headphones. Last episode i thought someone with a chainsaw was about to hack me up and now some Turkey shitting on car sound effect made it sound like I got rear-ended....by a car. Liking the podcast. Learning lots
Hey Cal. Love your podcast. As a chef and amateur ice carver, we use mineral oil in our chain saws. Mineral oil won’t gum up like canola oil. Maybe the folks at Stihl can weigh in on this. Thank you for all your efforts in conservation. Steve from Cleveland

Apparently Cal hasn't been around the plethora of fishermen bitching about how "the asians" are taking "all our fish". 🙄🙄🙄🙄
anybody else having trouble with the episode playing or downloading?
Talking about water you should talk about the meandering vs. nonmeandering Waters in South Dakota.
These little podcasts are a great service for listeners. Thanks Cal.
30 chapter , Congratulations from Mexico. Continue the great work
