I love that you guys are doing this. I’m an adult onset hunter with a bunch of small ones running around. My two year old is ate up with hunting after we missed a doe with the bow while he was in the backpack carrier. Looking forward to this series. Also love the foundations.

Love the podcast, especially the foundations segments. Not hating on Mark but there’s something about Tony’s voice, humor, and info that are undefeated!

Awesomeness!!!!! Love this podcast. Tells it like it is! Really cool! Love this stuff! Keep it up!!!

Great information and insightful guests

The latest foundations podcast was one of the absolute best podcasts I’ve heard in a long time. Couldn’t agree more with the points Tony made. Applies so much to life and hunting. Really love the Foundations series!

Love the podcast! Tony is the best guy out there for communicating strategy and tactics to the everyday hunter. Martonik is a mountain buck genius.

If I could only listen to one voice in the hunting space, it would be Tony Peterson

Loving the Foundations section of this podcast. The short snippets are perfect for my drive into work and have been instrumental in developing my skills as a first year bow hunter. Thanks so much for all the content Tony and Mark. Keep up the good work!

Great content love the small talk as well as deeper conversations………. 5 stars in good faith that you keep in mind we “ a lot of your listeners” listen to this with our kids present, and would appreciate if you would watch your language. Last episode was pretty rough, and if it continues I will no longer be able to listen, and I love to listen.

“The folks at NASA are so stuck up they never actually listen to squirrel hunting writers.” God I love this podcast.

Something worthy to consider… Science and archaeological digs are actually proving scripture to be true. There is a creator and we are the created. If something exploded, that something had to be created somehow.

Foundations with Tony Peterson is great

Sitting in the stand listening to you guys right now taking notes. So much great information. After the biggest deer ever seen in the wild. Thanks for all the great tips and tricks

Love this show. I try new things and it’s made me a better hunter. Mark is a great host.

I used to listen to this year round. The Meateater acquisition knocked it down a bit. Now the Tony Peterson episodes are great but that’s about it. The rest is pretty much just a waste of time.

I love the new hosts or Rut Fresh. They are way more interesting and not so monotone. They laugh and cut up more and bring more out of the different interviews. Mark Kenyon is good but seems to make a short deer story long sometimes.

This is a good podcast… it would be a great podcast if Tony Peterson hosted it.

The two episodes that I suffered through were a mixture of soap box rants by the host and guests about how trail cameras are bad, feeding deer is bad, hunting where you want is bad, hunting from tree stands is bad……. I am a die hard meat eater/ bear grease fan, so I was excited to dive into this whitetail focused version of the same content. I found myself furious midway through one episode and will not be back.

Mark made it. Literally accomplished the dream of making a living at hunting. Then via overthinking and over talking about it he turned something we all love, into…average-ness. It’s like he can’t close a deal. Stop missing, hesitating, thinking. Just quit man. You will circle back in 5-10 years and be able to hunt again. Let Andy May take over. If the Almighty Rinella, who fires anyone with a personality on par with his, allows it. Stop. Go work at target. Despite my booing from the bleachers (Literally he made it. was THE audience creator for whitetail.), I want what is best for mark and his family. Quit. Stop. or stop talking about your aim. Send an arrow. Put all your gear in the closet or fire. Just a bow and one arrow. Shoot a doe. You have the entire nation at your finger tips. Enjoy.

Good podcast, but didn’t not finish. Wish did not have to hear “decarbonize the planet” commercials. Assuming those are apple’s contributions. Rather hear hunting gear, truck and ORV commercials.

Rut Fresh used to be one of my favorite hunting podcasts of the year. I knew Spencer was moving on to bigger and better things, but I liked the succinct nature of his hosting. We got real valid information without a ton of superfluous niceties. The southern hospitality of the new hosts wears on me and I find myself skipping more than half the podcast to get to the good stuff. Just one opinion, y’all do y’all.

The 🐐 has become quite the mentor to Mark and I love the new dynamic! Excited for the future of this podcast. Good luck this fall. -Zacharyb

Tony Peterson has resurrected this podcast for me. I quit listening after the Drury partnership (love the Mark & Terry, not a fan of Matt), but recently started listening again solely due to Tony. He’s always relatable, funny, and a great storyteller.

Appreciate this episode. Hunt your own hunt.

I miss Sitka Mark. This once was a great show. I just feel like it lost something with the meat eater brand. Still a good listen for any hunter but not what it used to be. If you’re just getting started with this show, scroll back a ways and check out some of the older episodes. You won’t be disappointed.

This is my first year using a bow and I need some tips could you make a podcast about the gear I need

Down to earth sounding guy. If it isn’t him on I just skip the episode.

Love the podcast. Episode 551 with Randy Ulmer was money. Thanks for doing what you do!

This is one of the best podcasts out there for the serious Whitetail hunter. Mark and Tony are enjoyable to listen to and seem to know their stuff when it comes to Whitetail hunting. I’m always glad when new podcasts drop. Thanks guys!

So many great issues get brought up on these podcasts. Neat to hear about the different fights for conservation and preserving the hunting culture and how the issues vary state to state and region to region. BHA Lifetime member after hearing the T. Edward Nickens interview!

Keep it up guys. This podcast is always a breath of fresh air. Real, reliable, and relatable information from humble hunters. Tony, you’re the Maynard James Keenan of whitetail podcasting:). They don’t get it, but you do. Keep it real.

5 stars for Tony. Great discussions from an expert. Mark is getting painful these days - spends half his time in his head explaining misses when he needs to hit the range and work on fundamentals.

Tony keeps your attention, and has a lot of solid input . After listening to him for I while I usually skip the Kenyan episodes. No offense Kenyan you just kind of dried up awhile ago!

First of all I absolutely love the show. Great information and lots of thought provoking content. However, the only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is I have a hearing impairment and most of the guests are on via phone call. Can you turn them up for the deaf kid that doesn’t want to miss anything?? Sincerely, Helen Kellers Son

I’ve been loving following along with all the rut reports from across the country this entire season. Keep up the great work!

Mark, wow great breakdown of your Iowa hunt. The real truth and the reality of that hunt really hit me in a good way. It is dec 10 and I still do not have a deer. Have hunted hard, frustrated this will keep me going. Thanks steve from Michigan

Great podcast super informational. Why don’t you guys ever report on things happening in Texas?

This is in my honest opinion the best hunting podcast out there. Not only does it help you learn more about deer and how to be a better hunter, Mark is also very raw and honest. There’s no fakeness here. You ride the huge highs and really depressing lows together. I really appreciate that and how this show doesn’t shy away from the hunting bliss as well as massive disappointments. Do yourself a favor if you hunt, and listen to this show.

Probably Mark’s least favorite episode, but it was one of my favorites. Very real. We’ve all been there. Hang in there and keep going.

Fantastic information from some fantastic hunters. We agree on many of the same things, I think it’s awesome how in depth you go. Keep up the good work, things are getting good here in Oklahoma.

If you are into hunting whitetail, this is the podcast for you!

A whitetail hunters favorite podcast! Love it

Less Mark Kenyon, more Tony Peterson.

First off I love the volume that these guys put out. I spend a lot of time driving and burn through podcasts quickly. There’s tons of knowledge in these episodes. I really love that all aspects get covered and specifically the “foundations” series is a great way to remind me of some of that basic hunting knowledge. Keep it up guys! #ozarkhunter

Listening to Mark has been a staple in my hunting research and entertainment for a couple years now and he is exceptional. Lately Tony has really peaked my interest in the more niche side of scouting/hunting scratching an itch I didn’t know was there. Keep it up!

I’ve listened to Mark for years and always enjoyed the show. Tony’s recent podcasts bring great incite but the unnecessary use of foul language causes concern. My kids often listen to podcasts with me as we’re driving. Come on guys, keep it clean so that all ages can listen and enjoy. Patrick

My mentor suggested that I listen to your show and I’ve been hooked since. Ive started at episode 1 and I’m glad I did. You guys talking about misses and “bad” hunts made me feel better about my hunts. I’ve had many interactions with deer but have yet to be able to lay one down. Last year I missed on a doe and was bumming hard. Listening to you guys has stored the embers and got the fire going again! Some day I’ll be caught up to current episodes!

Came off too cocky. Needs to step back and address spot burning and getting tips from locals. Great hunter but needs to be humble.

Would have been a really nice listen if it weren’t for the use of the Lord’s name in vain.

I have always whitetail hunted with muzzleloader. Great Info for a new bow hunter.
