  • Top-Tier Outdoor Storytelling

    I’ve really been enjoying Legends of the Wild. The storytelling, guests and overall production feel true to what makes F&S so great. Only thing I’d love to see different is more trout talk. Outside of that, the show continues to hit the mark and has kept me coming back for every new episode. Highly recommend for anyone who loves the outdoors. Keep up the great work!

    His stories make you feel like you’re around the campfire or sitting in the garage with your buddies, and the people who come on with hi... more

    I disagree with hunting. I love the wilderness and adventure and have lived most of my life in the wilderness. Hunting is wrong.
