Incredible to have such a deep pool of knowledge without sponsorships calling into question the legitimacy of the information. I taught myself how to hunt elk and mule deer with a huge amount of help from this show.

Guys, I thoroughly enjoy the content, discussion and delivery. Love the interviews with the state departments of fish and game/parks and wildlife as well as the recent discussions with fitness experts from Cal State Fullerton with a focus on the aging backcountry athlete. Keep up the good work.

This podcast is one that I can always learn something from regarding hunting. Some other podcasts tend to venture off into politics and other topics. This one is motivational and sticks to the point… hunting. No b.s adds or endorsements. Keep it up! Love listening to every episode

I really have enjoyed these episodes with state game agencies. I’ve learned a lot while I know there is complex issues managing Game. I do feel that the Idaho guest has shaded the issue on wolves killing elk. I understand part of that is probably job protection so I understand but all I...Read full review »

Mark and Steve and their guests (even Jake on occasion) do a good job of telling stories, asking questions, answering listener questions etc. Been listening to them since beginning. Learned a bunch over the years. Thanks for doing a great job.

These guys get right to the point! I love it

One of the few podcasts I listen to every episode Mark and Steve are a wealth of information and Mark does a great job both finding and engaging with guests that are interesting and relevant to western DIY hunters. Great job guys!

I find pretty much every episode of this podcast to be helpful and informative. They never seem to be speaking over my head (I’m a noob hunter) and I don’t get the impression that more seasoned hunters can’t find something new to learn. I *LOVE* that the show isn’t sponsored by anyone (other than...Read full review »

The Backcountry Hunting podcast is a great resource for information pertaining to strategies associated with hunting in the backcountry, as well as moving through and existing in the mountains in general. The information provided is applicable and easily incorporated into a backcountry strategy....Read full review »

There is so much to learn from this podcast. I am a relatively seasoned hunter but regularly find new information on tactics and equipment that is very helpful.
JIngram2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/03/24
Interviews with “adult onset hunters” about their guided Montana side by side elk hunting trip is not what I signed up for. I am disappointed in how far their content has degenerated and now this feels like another me too hunting podcast that is hotspotting and encouraging more and more crowding...Read full review »

Really appreciate the hyper focused content on backcountry hunting. I know the advice shared has been earned from years of experience, yet they are open to trying new things. ‘Prreciate-ya!
Gfreidy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/14/24
They never try to sell you any product (not even their own). They share a wealth of good western/backcountry hunting info.

I have been planning a New Mexico mule deer hunt with my dad and brother. Our first out of state hunt, and first mule deer hunt. We have been listening to episode 232-239 about how to hunt mule deer and these are filled with so much knowledge. It is amazing you guys are doing a fantastic job!
tripL9_ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/05/24
Episode 438 about Wyoming game and fish is some of the best hunting knowledge and information I have ever listened too on any podcast! Outstanding episode

Great listen, especially the before and after stories
Jason/WI via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/12/24
I’ve been listening to the podcast since early 2017. Bottom line, I trust what Mark and Steve have to say. Keep up the strong work!
Forced.nickname via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/23/23
Been listening for years and love that Steve and Mark haven’t been bought- they give the most honest opinions on all things backcountry hunting and gear. I listen to them all the time on training hikes and on the way to the hills. Keep it up boys!

Have learned so much from Mark and Steve over the years. From tactics to gear they are a wealth of knowledge. Since I started listening, I am now consistently, putting animals on the ground.

Steve & Mark Can you do some shows for the beginner archer? Tips on buying a bow, arrows and broad heads. After years of rifle hunting I have decided to buy a bow and go archery elk hunting.

This is THE go to podcast for myself.

Appreciate all of the detailed information shared.
FC#27 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/15/23
Some good info but there’s just SO much time wasted on personal biographies before anything interesting gets discussed. I don’t care whether or not your guest watches tv or what sport their kid does in the off-season, how long they’ve lived in BFE or whether their dad hunted in Minnesota in the...Read full review »

The Hunt Breakdown episode are so valuable. While we all have our own communities we hunt with, these episode expand those experiences we can learn from. Thank you for posting stories from people like the listeners, and in many cases are the listeners.
CircleHart Ranch via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/22/23
I was spoiled by having this be the first hunting podcast I regularly listened to. I didn’t realize how knowledgeable Mark and Steve are, and how rare it is to have a podcast that doesn’t have sponsors or push products constantly. So many other podcasts are hour long commercials for products. ...Read full review »

I have to start out by saying I don’t own an Exo pack, but I don’t own any hunting packs. First heard people talk about your pack because they said they bought one because your podcast was so awesome. I started listening to some of the recent podcasts. I love the nitty gritty episode on the K3....Read full review »

I just finished the podcast on wolf hunting and I want to say thank you for giving an educated, well reasoned analysis of why hunting wolves, and any other game animal for that matter, is one of the best ways to manage healthy populations of the animals that we all enjoy.

I love listening to the podcast! It’s a breath of fresh air to have this when there is so much crap out there. Also, thanks for keeping the language under control so my kids can listen as well.
