Needs to be in your spring lineup

The perspective Ben and Sam provide is a unique cadence in the cacophony of turkey themed podcasts this time of year. It’s great to hear the stories of the western experience, as well as the detailed guides on equipment and strategy. Not to mention the camaraderie is unmatched, makes me feel like I’m amongst friends at turkey camp. Give it a listen, you won’t regret it!

Great podcast

Ben and Sam are awesome hosts. This podcast gets me fired up for turkey season. And can’t wait to hear some recipes!

This is THE listen for turkey hunters

A turkey hunting podcast that encompasses the meaning of camaraderie with fellow hunters. I love the story telling and the good vibes in this podcast

We need more content from you guys! I have enjoyed y’all’s show the last few years and can’t wait to hear yall story’s each week. I hate that it’s only a few episodes each spring. Y’all have a great energy and vibe and I think it would be cool to add more content, especially more educational stuff like yall did last year , and having guest appearances. Keep it up and happy hunting!

I want it to be better

Ben is intelligent and knowledgeable, but he needs to talk less and plan more. I find his cocksure affect off-putting and distracting. I’d like to hear more from the guests (eg Jessie Griffiths) and less Ben…
