  • Terrific podcast with plenty of information and some story telling.

    I don’t live in Kentucky but I’m on the boarder in Ohio so I feel that most of the information given translates in one way or another. The only problem I have with this podcast is that it makes me wish I would’ve become a wildlife biologist and worked for the dnr. Keep up the great work, it’s certainly appreciated.
