An absolute great listen
Love listening. Keep up the great work
I like that they are lengthy, factual, and you can follow the story as it unfolds. I’ve recommended to family and friends and they agree.
Blood trails is a complete, well researched, and produced podcast for anyone who likes podcasts. You do not need to be an avid hunter to enjoy. It is evident that the amount of time and effort put into each episode is equal to the older established true crime series, and Blood Trails will be shortly up at the top of the list with those others. Well done.
This is the best podcast that I’ve listened to in a long time. Thank you and hope you continue for many more episodes.

A forensic-style true crime podcast set in the outdoors, it traces murders, disappearances, and investigations that unfold against hunting and fishing culture. Episodes combine archival reporting, courtroom moments, and firsthand recollections from families, investigators, and witnesses to reveal how wilderness settings become stages for violence. The host emphasizes original reporting, expert commentary from detectives and wildlife professionals, and a measured, storytelling approach that respects victims and communities. It's likely to appeal to true crime fans who want deeper context, procedural detail, and outdoor-country perspectives beyond typical crime shows, with a clear affinity for investigative rigor and nuanced narrative.
