  • 4 episodes in and no intention of stopping. Found my new podcast! I'm a hunter on the east coast and love hearing these stories. Episodes 52 and 53 hit home. There are no almost no box turtles left in our area of Southern NJ. 20 years ago there were literally hundreds visible throughout the year each spring. Keep at it!
