  • Southeastern Bowhunter

    Great show Dan. I listened to you and several other podcasts because I’m on the road a lot for work. I had to comment on the episode you dropped today with Eric Chesowich. One of my hunting properties is in Winder, so I thought it was funny to hear about Winder motor Speedway and the lack of a full set of teeth in the area. FYI, there are a couple of dentists in Barrow County now so we are moving up in the world. Keep doing what you’re doing. Have more George guest guests!

  • Great show!

    Love the perspectives and it pains me a bit but can’t be denied. The outdoors needs to be more welcoming to all and there should never be a barrier. I have several friends who don’t have the same color of skin as I do, but we are one in the same and the passion is equal. Keep up the good work!
