    Could have been
    All the CTD podcasts I downloaded are ones with Remi I’m sure they are tired of hearing that…. I’ll listen to videos were Dirk talks about bugling but BRO does the same thing maybe I’m missing out by not listening but I don’t know that I am And the Steven Rinella adds are exhausting

    Excellent product
    Love the pod, PNWild was great a great guest. I have a lot of respect for Phelps and can’t wait for future episodes!
  • JMFC78
    Stick with the Remi episodes
    Five stars for all the Remi episodes, a measly two-two and a half for the rest.
  • Beer_skeletonizer
    Great podcast!
    Great podcast, looking forward to new host and new episodes.
  • The Annoyded
    Informative
    I quit listening CTD when Remi was the host. I was tired of listening to Remi talk about how awesome he is and having Q and A’s with folks calling in and spending half their time sucking up to him. Phelps seems like a solid and humble guy, who has a ton of knowledge.

    The Death of a Great Podcast?
    When the first episode of CTD (minus Remi) came out, I wrote this: “CTD used to be THE BEST podcast for actual hunting tips and tactics. If episode 1 of the new CTD with Jason Phelps is indicative of things to come, I’ll be spending my time elsewhere. This episode was simply a commercial for MeatEater x Phelps’ “Line 1” $300 boutique pot call. Who the heck are they even marketing to these days? MeatEater is in that period of a company’s growth where they need to make a decision - is this about the money or the content? Ditching Remi Warren for Jason Phelps may be an indicator. Hoping that episode1 was just a very weak start”. Today I tried to listen to the latest episode about elk biology. What a disaster. I get the impression that Phelps doesn’t want to do or doesn’t enjoy doing this podcast. Maybe it’s forced on him. I dunno, he’s an icon in the industry but this podcast went from a top 5 to an unsubscribe. Y’all messed up when you parted ways with Remi.

    Not what it used to be
    Meat eater is becoming more about ego and losing remi lost all character that this show had.

    Awesome podcast
    I’ve always been a fan of Jason Phelps. First time I went to an elk calling seminar of his was at Bowtech in Eugene Oregon back in 2015 and it helped me out so much. Binging all the elk podcast right now and absolutely love your choice of guests. Keep up the great work!! -Alyssa

    Great listen.
    Great podcast and the only reason people hating on it cause they miss Remi. Nothing wrong with Phelps. That dude kills more elk each season than most of these guys will in their lifetime. Keep at it Jason!
  • DeerTamales
    Nope.
    I usually listen to these podcasts (and Remi’s new one) while I work out. This one has been a drag for a while, with no character at all to the show. Very monotone. The final straw was working out while some dude screams bear predator calls into my ear. No thanks.
  • elkfool
    Not what it was
    I Like Phelps but don’t enjoy this podcast. Feel like we got robbed to be honest. Losing remi was a mistake. How in the heck can you make a podcast comparing elk hunting to turkey hunting?? Come on man. Major flop by meat eater which is surprising.
  • Cheese wizard superstar
    Nah
    This ain’t it dawg. Cant replace Remi. Phelps is bought and paid for. Dump it
  • Ndjskssksksjdndn
    Unsubscribed.
    Miss Remi running this podcast.
  • G3536ghjfx
    Too much turkey talk
    Every episode has been about turkeys and it’s pretty boring. Get back to western big game!
  • KnsasMike
    Incredible
    As soon as u think you are a good turkey hunter this show humbles and informs you. 10 stars if possible
  • nolantech
    Podcast
    The last couple podcast have gotten A LOT better from the first two. I like the direction he’s starting to go.
  • HammerDick5151
    Such a let down
    Loved the show prior to the host change. Nothing against Phelps personally, he’s a likable dude and I think he really knows what he’s talking about. But let’s look at what the show has been for the last 3 years; back country, DIY, western big game. Nearly every episode. Now, we’ve had 3 consecutive episodes about turkey hunting. That’s right, turkeys. Oh well, to each their. Only takes a second to unsubscribe
  • Willy098123
    Phelps doesn’t have it
    Phelps seems like a good dude, but he cannot follow in Remi’s footsteps.
  • Enlightened man
    Remi made me a better hunter!
    This used to be my favorite podcast because it was so packed with real life hunting tactics. Now it’s just entertainment like a lot of other hunting podcast. I found remi’s new podcast called live wild and gave it a subscribe to continue my education.
  • da chef mack
    Not the same concept
    I was hopeful as I really like Phelps, but had a huge feeling that he wasn’t going to be able to do the show without someone to chat with, unfortunately that has been the case for the first two. I understand that all good things eventually come to an end, I willing to give it a few more episodes but I am worried it will be for nothing.
  • ianlea
    Game Over
    This podcast ended when Remi left. It’s now just an extension of meateater. No disrespect to Phelps, but I don’t like the new episode 1/100 as much as remi’s.
  • notyourtypicalcaliboy
    I like Phelps, but I miss Remi!
    I like Phelps, but I miss Remi!
  • 0B-Wan!
    New host
    The new host/episode is severely lacking tips and tactics and is filled with the same drivel that can be found in most other hunting podcasts (two guys sitting around shooting the s%!£).
  • joshv53
    Episode 1?????
    How is this now episode 1? It doesn’t restart because y’all brought in a new host….bring back remi
  • Tedski54
    Hot tips left and right
    Solid tactical information podcast. The new host is certainly a different flavor than what we got from Remi
  • asartin25
    Sure hope this gets better
    Remi was awesome and informative and helpful. This first episode was basically the normal meat eater podcast which is just lame. I hope it gets better
  • hmogck
    Sorry Phelps
    You lost me when Remi left. Good luck to you, but I’m out
  • tgrosely
    Top shelf info
    Remi does and excellent job of immersing you in a story and boiling down the lessons learned in it and turning them in to hunting in for that we can all learn from. Update I’m gonna miss Remi. I hope Jason can carry the torch well.
  • NiMiDesign
    Great
    I've been listening for years, lots goes into making this amazing content -nothing else like it!

    Review
    Loved the podcast. Listened to episodes while I was doing a solo backcountry hunt or trip so I didn’t feel so alone with some of your wild stories! Looking forward to learning more from you on other platforms.
  • Zonahunter
    Inspired
    Remi I am a lifelong hunter and I have enjoyed all 126 episodes. Look forward to your new podcast to accompany me on my daily seventy minute walks. Hurry back!!
  • OldmanJoe hunter
    Great show will miss it!
    I enjoy every podcast and will miss it. Will be following on your website. Thanks for the great Thursday’s alway learning something !
  • T. Gav
    Bummed Remi is leaving
    It was a great show and Jason Phelps will have huge boots to fill. I didn't miss an episode in 2 years and it has drastically changed me as a hunter and has a been a great pathway for getting others into the outdoors. Thanks Remi!
  • stan_bailey02
    A great podcast
    Remi, I will definitely be looking for all your endeavors like I have been. My Thursday commute will not be the same. Please keep sharing your vast knowledge so that us weekend warriors might learn from you and have half a chance out in the field. Stan Bailey
  • Bobrunner06
    Solid Hunting podcast
    Been loving the show. Remi breaks things down for anyone to understand. It’s easy to see that he speaks from experience
  • nadiswg
    Breathing
    Could you breathe any louder love the show besides that
  • Jpcoll01
    Best hunting podcast…and it isn’t close
    Simply the best western hunting podcast. This guy gives out real, valuable advice in every single episode.
  • rezdog
    Common sense ain’t so common
    Thank you. Hearing your stories and process are a highlight to my week.
  • tubamindfreak
    Incredible
    Practical, engaging, dynamic. I really love this podcast because it’s super informational. And then the host takes time to answer questions every few episodes that I would assume he accumulates on social media and other places. I really like the range of topics that he covers. And I also enjoy how straightforward the advice is.
  • Kyle huff
    Right most star
    Keep it rolling! The mid October Mule deer strategy helped me bag my 1st deer in 5 years of trying. Thanks remi!
  • wildfishguy
    Ridiculous
    Ridiculously good content. So fun.

    Thank you for all your doing all the tips and tactics are so much appreciated So many of your tips were running through my head as I was stalking my first velvet buck ever. Got within and shot at 33 yards Your knowledge and experience helped me a ton. Thank you for being willing to share
  • Ol' dirtyyy
    Great podcast
    Love this podcast! Remi is the man and helped me shoot my first cow elk last year. Hopefully a bull this year!
  • toomanycoloradans
    Great info
    It’s late 2021, I just found this podcast, and I’m learning a ton. I’ve gone after game my whole life but I’ve always been better at “shooting” than “hunting”. The things I’ve learned here probably seem basic to a lot of folks but I was never taught them. The episodes on drawing tags has inspired me to get past my “overanalysis paralysis” of the Colorado game system and go after some antelope next season. Thanks for sharing your hunting experience!
  • S Æsoph
    Pure Gold
    Hands down the best podcast available when it comes to real tactics that can be applied immediately to make you a better hunter. Unbelievable that you’re even allowed to just hand this stuff out!! No fluff, just straight knowledge from the best around.
  • nrgaddict
    Very informative
    This is absolutely the best hunting podcast out there! Hands down this dude is a great host & his YouTube is even better. Cheers Remi & thank you for all your help.
  • PumkinSeed12
    Great Podcast
    Keep up the good work Reno
  • GoatPacker
    Great podcast
    Thanks for all of the info Remi!
  • joehunterfisher
    Top notch informative content
    The info, tactics, and advice in these podcasts are largely responsible for helping me take my first whitetail last fall. Not only was it my first but it was on a small, pressured, public land. Really can’t thank you enough. Keep up the great work
  • juanzwong
    Podcast remi warren thumbs up
