I spend a lot of time behind the wheel and understand the value of good radio. There have been many times in the past I would like to listen to someone discuss hunting rather than politics or sports – now there is a way, and it’s called a podcast.
Here’s the problem: The market is saturated with new and old hunting podcasts. That isn’t a bad thing, but it does make finding a podcast that appeals to your preferences difficult. Below there are two categories: The first being, the best new hunting podcasts that have hit the market within the last year. The second is the podcasts that have stood the test of time and appeal to my listening preferences.
The Best New Deer Hunting Podcasts
Down South Hunting Podcast with Adam Crews (me) & Mike Higman, is a podcast that focuses on southern hunting and hunters. There are multitudes of great midwestern deer hunting podcasts on the market, but none that cater to the southern crowd. Our podcasts are geared towards interviewing hunters and biologist with a sprinkle of our own adventures added in.
Land & Legacy podcast is hosted by Adam Keith & Matt Dye. This podcast is based on what they have coined, “Habitat Architecture.” If you are looking to improve your hunting land and habitat, you’ll want to give this one a listen.
Deer Hunter This podcast is hosted by Kevin Vistiven, who lives in Detroit, Michigan and hunts heavily pressured Michigan public land. Kevin has a unique style of interviews, as most of his are done face to face, and has interviewed some of the best DIY hunters out there.
The Hunting Public Aaron Warbritton, Greg Clements, and Zach Ferenbaugh host a new podcast and YouTube show called, “The Hunting Public.” Their team hunts primarily on public-land, using hang and hunt tactics while encountering mature bucks throughout the hunting season. Their podcast style is also different because they interact with their audience via Facebook and Instagram Live features, making this a question and answer format.
The Hunting Beast Dan Infalt might be the most influential public-land deer hunter of our time. His tactics have started a cult-like movement that he calls, Beast Style Hunting, where he identifies multiple buck bedding areas and then moves in close to hang a stand where most wouldn’t dare go. If you want to try a new hunting style—give this podcast a listen and follow him on the TheHuntingBeast.com
Chasing Tales Outdoors with Walter Lee and Layton Harvey—Do you like to hear hunting stories from successful hunters?
