I'd rather close my man bits in the door of my truck than listen to a podcast with a kid on it much less a kid-centric podcast. When you guys did the kids trivia episode I nearly injured myself trying to get it shut off as fast as humanly possible. Love nearly everything else.
No thank you
I 100% agree with Steve about the bird names.
so you get the daughter of the greatest hunter out there?where the f is tim!haha✌️😎
I've been a devoted listener of The MeatEater Podcast for a while now, and I can't get enough of it! The way they blend hunting, conservation, and the love for the outdoors is truly captivating. https://www.getyourpros.com/usa/los-angeles/healthcare/sticker-printing-pros/90044/california One thing that sets this podcast apart is the authenticity of the hosts. They don't just talk the talk; they walk the walk. Their deep knowledge of hunting, fishing, and wildlife conservation shines through in every episode. It's not just about trophies; it's about respecting the animals and the environment. http://www.localhomeservicepros.com/los-angeles-ca-usa/painting/sticker-printing-pros
Another goose egg of a podcast you need to get back to the current events and news for the first half hour the last two podcasts have not been my favorites.
Arkansas black bears do a similar quota system. ask Clay about it.
Great episode loved the Deer stories by Clay
Who is singing the closing song? Chester?
I wish this guy were funny.
Rogan is master of the self important story punctuated with many, many over used superlatives.
wrong public land animals are no less wild than private land animals if anything their wilder
This guest is full of great information, but jesus fuck is he a bad conversationalist. Listening to steve try and coax a response out of this guy, or a hypothetical is absolutely painful.
See "The Worst Hard Times" for rabbit drives.
the 9/11 hijackers did not come through Canada.....period....
ekp0l3
Interesting but it's a 38 minute commercial break.... Not Yani or Jordan's fault
love this ep
