I cane over from the meateater podcast... I always enjoyed Clay's contributions, and I really enjoy his take on all things hunting/outdoors

This is a great addition to the Meateater group of podcasts. I'm a fan of the documentary format supplemented with a fun BS session the next episode.

Description
