  • Let down

    Big Woods Bucks got me into podcasts. I listened on their website before I even had a podcast app. I listened to all the episodes multiple times each. I sure do miss the old “round table” talk. I understand completely that sponsorships pay the bills. In my own personal opinion and the reason for the loss of my “fanship” or following/respecting the “crew” is due to my feeling of selling your soul to the devil (click on this/like this video). Sure do miss the way it used to be. Again my own person... more

  • Western applications too

    Even though I only live in the West where there are mule deer, definitely some information that applies to how we hunt out here. Great to have you guys putting out all the tracking and still-hunting info that you do. Keep it up.

  • Love these legends!

    Hal and Joe and Rick are some of the greatest guys I’ve ever listened to and the most knowledgeable Whitetail deer hunters in the northeast and probably ever, very fortunate to be able to listen to them and pick up their tips and tricks of how they harvest deer in the woods. It has certainly helped me become a better deer hunter and tracker. I’ve been able to successfully harvest mature Bucks due to some of their advice very soothing to listen too, and I enjoy them very much. PS, I miss bad Lee... more
