  • Incredible podcast. I love the likemindedness and the casual nature of the conversations. My dream is to get on myself one day and chat after i secure my first Deer kill in New Zealand. I think as a bow hunter we can often feel like we're the only one out there. But the lads make me realise there's a small and strong global community.
