Hype Me Up with Ben Marleau

This week we took the chance to get out of the studio and do a little fishing beforehand so we did the podcast on the pontoon from the lake. We had a good old fashioned fish off between Joey and Carter and debated our asses off about whether you’d rather hunt solo or with a group all the time. Tough to imagine only being able to do one but for the sake of the argument we present our cases. We also draft our best reasons for being late to a hunt! Thanks for following along and be sure to subscribe for more waterfowl content!

Outdoor Activities, Shenanigans Only

This week for TMT we shake things up with a debate topic: if you could only hunt private land or public land for the rest of your life, which would you choose? Joey and Cal each argue different sides and through that it becomes obvious that having to only choose one would really suck. However, lots of hunters only hunt one or the other. Of course, many of us dip our feet in both! What do you mostly hunt? Thanks for subscribing and be sure to leave a review!
