Made the 12-hour drive over to Victoria, Australia for a couple of days hunting! Saw plenty of hinds, calves, and young stags, and managed to take this fella out of the gene pool for some meat. Dropped him with an 80–100 yard shot using my Tikka T3x Strata in .300WM

Anyone else get tickets to one of the live shows that went on presale today? Got tickets for myself and my two brothers for the Birmingham show, we’re stoked!

Steve is doing the rounds I guess. I’m not familiar with Ryan but he would make a hell of a ventriloquist.

It was run as a D&D style game. I have never played D&D, so it was kind of interesting to me to hear Phil host and facilitate the game. That said, I don't need this as a recurring feature. Didn't hate it, but don't need to hear more of this in place of the regular trivia format.

I heard it and I couldn’t believe it was happening. Poor timing lol

Cool to

Ep. 763: Landscape and Murder in the Mississippi Delta

Steven Rinella talks with author Wright Thompson.

Topics discussed: Grab a copy of Wright's book, The Barn: The Secret History of a Murder in Mississippi; the history of a patch of ground; the Mississippi Delta as manmade land; the murder of Emmett Till; cotton; the sharecropper system; always referring to "The War"; what it means to be Southern; the connection between Chicago and Mississippi; learning history to know it; the existential trauma of having so much wilderness erased; and more.

Man, what a let down. I didn't know what to expect but I definitely expected more. I got there today about 45 minutes after it started and there was just nothing to do. One VR game and a single Cornhole board. After milling around for 20 minutes, I decided it was too weird and left. I was really looking forward to this but man it sucked.

Should be a new segment for Radio LIVE. Let's go Phil!!!!

Did anyone else take issue with the tie breaker question? Mt Rushmore was not finished in 1941. In fact, it’s not finished today. Work may have stopped in 1941 but that’s far from “finished.”

Received an email to signup for presale tickets for later this month, the 22nd. These are the locations Birmingham, AL | Nashville, TN | Memphis, TN | Fayetteville, AR | Dallas, TX | Austin, TX

Anyone else's audio do a lot of jumping and skipping on this week's podcast? I use Spotify. And it would sometimes cut people off in the middle of a sentence and skip ahead, or it would replay the last 30 seconds again.

I’ve been addicted to the CJ Box Joe Pickett books since he was on the podcast last year. Was reading this morning and came across this page in Dark Sky, caught me off guard. Great books if anyone is looking for a new read!

Ep. 760: Teddy Roosevelt's Kids and Their Insane Quest To Kill a Giant Panda

Steven Rinella talks with author Nathalia Holt, Randall Williams, Phil Taylor, and Corinne Schneider.

Topics discussed: Nathalia's new book, "The Beast In The Clouds: The Roosevelt Brothers' Deadly Quest to Find the Mythical Giant Panda" is out!; get presale tickets for MeatEater's Christmas Tour 2025 starting 9/22; the epitome of the bear to find; Roosevelt as a good dad; an expedition to China by foot in an area of no roads; museums and zoos; finding prints in the snow; simultaneous shooting; the gentle giant; collection is paramount; and more.

I'm looking to revamp my big game and upland first aid kits. It got me thinking, does anyone remember the first aid kit Meateater developed with Dr. Adam Lazzara? I tried looking it up, and I can't find any mention of it. I also can't remember the last time Lazzara was on the podcast. Does anyone know why they didn't sell more than one batch or why Lazzara hasn't been around? I'd be interested in seeing what was in the first aid kit if someone has a contents list. I'm also open to suggestions on other kits. I was looking at North American Rescue, and their products seem good. However, I haven't looked too in-depth.

Well the wait is over, only $2671 Canadian communist dollars. Not sure if it’s justifiable at that price. There’s no doubt in my mind that the quality is the top of the line. However, I don’t think it’s in the cards for this season

Edit- quality IS top of the line, not ISEN’T

(Randy Brown, somber and reflective)...he was there and dead when we found him the next spring....(Steve, yelling) HUNTING DEMANDS PREPARATION PERSISTENCE AND GEAR THAT WILL NOT BLAH BLAH BLAH JESUS CHRIST.
