Trail is an amazing person and great at podcasting with amazing knowledge
Great podcast to listen to for some "in depth" information, not just the generic elk hunting conversation's. Highly reccomended.
Trail is a thoughtful host and helps guests to provide useful insights in every episode. This is a great resource for western hunters. Bowhunters should also check out Trail’s content on GOHUNT.
Hello Trail, I came across your podcast after you mentioned it on the Go Hunt podcast. I’m hooked! I enjoy the content, the interesting topics especially archery and the intro music. Thank you for sharing.
Trail thanks so much!! Very basic but I think you always have had good timing and great insight on the things that make a difference. Things that are easily overlooked. One tip stop complaining about how old you are. I’m 10plus years older and feel like my experience outweighs my younger bodies strength
