These guys are the reason I started hunting. They exemplify a soulful approach to hunting and the outdoors. Their topics are not super gear intensive, instead covering topics like mindfulness, nutrition and mental toughness. Their podcast’s guest are equally diverse and engaging. Best out there for sure.
These guys are real. No frill, no sponsors. Straight to the heart of hunting and whatnot takes to be successful in the backcountry.
