jake from oregonAmigo JohnIf you are even a level 1 hunting nerd, John Mcadams, Joseph vonbenedikt, and Ron Spomer are the ultimate 3 amigos of hunting in the podcast world. John gives great, real world useful information that would apply to a wide spectrum of hunting. The cartridge comparisons are among the most fun episodes, especially the ones with the venerable .308, which is a BETTER 300 yard hunting cartridge than the 6.5 creedmoor will ever be. Thank you amigo John.

Cole Boy 63Perfect Podcast for All Outdoorsmen (and women!)I am so glad this is one of the first podcasts I found when I started listening to podcasts years ago. John McAdams is obviously quite experienced yet very practical and welcoming to newcomers in any area of hunting. His occasional guests are experts in their fields and they lend up to date knowledge on hunting issues and necessary equipment.

90zeedoGreat Info!I have been listening to this podcast for a couple years now. I always enjoy the in-depth cartridge comparisons! They are very well done and contain the interesting history of the cartridges and valuable ballistic data. I appreciate the care that is taken to make sure that these are “apple to apple” comparisons using whenever possible the same bullets/grain etc.

Civ CavemanBest Concise Gear ReviewsJohn gives great gear breakdowns that are easy to understand and very beneficial. I especially appreciate how he explains the pros and cons of each piece of gear, but leaves it to the listener to decide what is best for them. For example, It was thanks to his reviews of muzzleloader sights that I found a set up that improved my accuracy while abiding by my state’s regulations. Thanks John.

Unimpressed user 1Excellent podcastThere are lots of good hunting stories to be found in this podcast, any time Kevin Robertson is on the podcast you’re in for a good episode so don’t miss those.

6789843$:;?Informative and EntertainingThis show offers a wealth of knowledge about different calibers and specific models of rifles used in hunting, as well as a great number of stories about hunting in the American west and Africa. I find the Africa stories very interesting (even though I’ll most likely never see the continent myself). This podcast is also what catalyzed my interest in muzzleloader hunting as well.
-

J…W…..Great PodcastI have been hunting since childhood and consider myself very experienced with firearms, ballistics, and a variety of hunting tactics. I have fortunately been very successful over the years with my primary target animals being whitetail deer and feral hogs. With my perceived “wealth of knowledge”, I wasn’t sure what this podcast or the accompanying website could offer me. I have been blown away by just how much I didn’t know! John has greatly helped expand my knowledge and understanding which has translated to far better performance for me on the range and in the field. A fitting quote would be,“You don’t know what you don’t know”. In this case what you don’t know might be the difference between getting a tag, recovering an animal, finding that trophy of a lifetime, or wondering what went wrong. Give the podcast a listen and check out the website - I have found it extremely beneficial.

SRerdleyMoose HuntI recently went on a Moose hunt through this guide and would not recommend them due to the guide appointed. Example: guide is not a full time guide, has a full time job while he is trying to guide you. Scouting is done with cameras only.
