  • 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!
