Louisiana Bowman

Top Notch!

I just recently got turned on to this podcast. I can attest it has some of the most knowledgeable and in depth content I heard in a while. It is worth your while regardless if you a brand new to deer hunting or have been doing it for decades.
Etunn77$

Love Deer IQ

I love how this is a simple podcast but it has such good content. I love learning about how deer see, smell, move, etc. it is also great to learn how the biologist and farmers deal with CWD.
yfisherzz

Relevant, but

I find the content to be relevant but there’s not a lot charisma on the part of the host or guest.
tbrowwwwn

Awesome content

The content is to the point and down to earth. Even the more advance topics are broke down to where first time hunters will get something out of them and same goes for basic topics hunters who have a lot of time in already can pick up new tricks or mindset shifts to utilize in the woods
Misbehavin4793

A Hidden Gem

I like Adam’s focus on the educational side of deer hunting, both with the basics and more experienced, higher-level hunting info. He doesn’t pull any punches. He’s got a lot of experience but also admits he doesn’t know everything. We certainly can all strive to be better hunters and that’s the simple, but profound point of this podcast.
Ethan Hoggard

Great start

Can’t wait to see where this podcast goes. Great start and he is always asking the right questions for deer hunting and learning
