What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Hal and Joe and Rick are some of the greatest guys I’ve ever listened to and the most knowledgeable Whitetail deer hunters in the northeast and probably ever, very fortunate to be able to listen to them and pick up their tips and tricks of how they harvest deer in the woods. It has certainly helped me become a better deer hunter and tracker. I’ve been able to successfully harvest mature Bucks due to some of their advice very soothing to listen too, and I enjoy them very much. PS, I miss bad Lee!

Rackhunter00 · Feb 2025

Hal, Joe and the Lees crack me up. I feel privileged to hear the tips and teachings from all of the BWB team. They are all genuine in what they talk about and it’s refreshing in a world full of bull, hands down best hunting podcast out there.

Big Buck 1776 · Feb 2023

I am going on 60 years old and my back has let me down to the point I can no longer trek my way through the woods. This podcast helps me visualize as though I am there. It is not the same of course, but it is all I have at this point and am very thankful for being able to follow along since it’s inception. ❤️

Steve in Pa. · Nov 2022

I enjoy the hunting talk and passing along the knowledge about being in the woods. I can relate to the hunting and fishing, being a Mainer. Fantastic job guys! Keep doing what you do. Please have Garnett back. I laughed for two hours!
