  • NFC Sets the Standard

    I’ve been listening to hunting podcasts for 15+ years and I can honestly say NFC fills the void that everyone else is missing. Dan’s down to earth, practical, and gives a dose of reality with authentic hunting content, real life stories about family life, friends, and best of all an occasional BS session with Tony Peterson. Don’t change a thing, Dan!

  • Great stuff

    Dan, I’m a big fan of your podcasts. As someone who has 4 kids, I also don’t get to spend as much time in the woods as I used to. I appreciate your perspective. In fact, I’m starting to look at public land here in VA and I’ve been listening to brush up on all of that because it’s all new to me. Thanks again!

    Great Hunting podcast. Dan has a great sense of humor and is very relatable. Even though he eats sweet corn the long way.
