HUNTR is the project we should have started years ago. It's our excuse to work less and hunt more. We're not the world's greatest hunters by any means but we're not afraid to get aggressive and learn from our mistakes. From northeastern whitetails to western muleys, we're dreaming up hunts, putting in for tags, finding ground, and doing everything in our power to get it done.
Podcasts drop Tuesday nights, season 1 drops fall 2021, & there's merch in the store if you dig our stuff!
We want to hear from you! Whether you've got a story to share, a question for the guys, or want to tell us what we're doing wrong, it's all good. Drop us a line and we'll do our best to get back to you

Warb is literally one of the best outdoorsman at the moment and the rest of THP is right up there with him

[@HUNTRPOD]

His passion runs deep for sure!

[@garrettstraffon608]

Yep! These are the guys I support I wear a thp hat! Thp hoodie,

[@dylanparker9348]

The realism of The Hunting Public is what keeps everyone coming back. I started watching them in 2017 I believe and they had around 10k subs!! I've watched just about every video they have put out and I love everyone of them. To watch them grow like they have is amazing!! It's genuine and that's what we love!

[@HUNTRPOD]

Very cool to see these guys grow. I remember when we were eating lunch daily at the small Mexican restaurant in Albia Iowa lol - Jeremy

[@whodidwhat32]

Exactly & thats why. I personally dont like wasting my time watching guys hunt on they're private land managed, trained to stay where the food & shelter is pampered bucks. These deer are big because they are pampered. The Hunting Public is more realistic. & Being successful on big bucks on public land well to me that's very exciting & motivational I'm a Pennsylvania public land hunter myself & let me tell anyone P.A public land is tough...I dont even see private land Deer the same as public land. It's to the point to where a guy kills a buck on private land you know it's going to be a big buck. & to me that is not hunting. I have never once Hunted private land & I don't see anything impressive about it. Not the deer or the skill or anything..

[@walterbrown8293]

Grew up hunting in Virginia, I remember having ~10+ family members staying in the family cabin Friday evening for opening day Saturday. Then all being spread over the property and having a ton of shared success. Now it's just 3-4 of us and my brother never got to experience what I did. Awesome you had Aaron on, love THP and he might be my favorite one of them.

[@torisglory4god]

The THP crew and other KZbin channels like theirs is by far the best around!!!! They speak to the soul of the average hunter. Red arrow, Bone Collector crowd are fading away. Every episode for them is the next stop at a outfitter that’s trying to get advertisement. If that’s your thing…… go for it. It’s very untouchable for the average hunter. I feel the big TV guys have left the average hunter and probably couldn’t be successful on public ground.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Those guys hunt their butts off for sure!

[@PonderousSage]

I absolutely am a huge fan of THP and have been for awhile. Got my son on them too. Love the content and how relatable is is and how chill the guys are. Listening to Aaron talk and swear some makes it feel just that more relatable. It makes me feel really confident in my hunting and less stressed on if I’m doing something wrong lol

[@HUNTRPOD]

You get what you see with Warb. Super guy!

[@dylanparker9348]

And I have LEARNED A TON from THP especially Aaron. He's one of the best outdoorsman i have ever seen and I've hunted my whole life and I've watched alot of hunting and in my opinion Warb is at the top of the list followed by Dave Owen's from the pinhoti project, whether it's deer or turkey.

[@HUNTRPOD]

We will have to look Dave up!

[@russclewley6945]

Just found you guys through the Bill Winke podcast. Now my third podcast and they have been great. Love the hunting public! My favorite KZbin channel.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Thanks Russ! We’ve got more to come!

[@jeffsharp2981]

I feel (Zach term I have picked up on😆) that as I’ve aged (now56) turkey has become more prevalent for me as turkey hunting requires less time for the most part and my need for a big turkey is minimal…whereas my parameters for a successful buck harvest are much greater and require much more time. From a THP perspective, turkey content with success, is much easier to acquire more consistently with less time involved than mature buck content. I watch and still rewatch 5 yr old deer content of theirs….awesome podcast guys!!

[@herbie1220]

I stumbled on to your PODCAST because of the Bill Winke one you did and now I tune in for every single one! I really enjoy you breaking it down with great folks from the industry all while gaining some great knowledge. Keep up the good work!

[@HUNTRPOD]

Thanks Ryan we really appreciate it! Let us know if there is anything you’d like to see!

[@ctandsonsoutdoors7180]

Aaron's Georgia mountain monster buck is probably one of the greatest hunts ever filmed

[@HUNTRPOD]

Man what an accomplishment that was! Even he was in shock lol

[@spikestvoutdoors4842]

It’s a whole different ball game down here

[@huntersforlifetv5321]

Get it boys!🎉

[@thomassykes6985]

The dude on the right should watch the content of the person he is going to interview before the actual interview

[@davidhawkins6776]

Yes! he clearly did zero research

[@woodlandcrew2345]

Sweet podcasts! Keep it up

[@D12j34k56]

One of my new favorite podcasts guys, cant wait to see all the content this season!

[@HUNTRPOD]

Thanks KC!

[@bren70403]

Great conversation! THP is a great group of guys and i liked when them and Bill Winke were working together as well. It is awesome to see y'all being able to make a living doing what you love and or passionate about.

[@HUNTRPOD]

If you don’t love it, we could all tell!

[@qdog1995]

Love it!

[@mitchoconnell6944]

THP is awesome and so are you guys my perspective from Michigan is alot of us just simply can't put the time in my dad is 65 I want to walk miles and he can't but the point is to hunt with my dad as long as I can with him. So when a legal buck comes by 200 yards off the 2 track we are lucky it came out lol. So we are gonna shoot it.lol I also understand how that could be weird to somebody that puts alot of time and energy in so I just like hunters and hunting whoever does it. I just respect somebody's spot and get out of there if I see a set up. Thanks guys.

[@quintenbullard2921]

It took me 2 years before I saw a deer and longer for turkey and I fell in love with deer hunting. I think it’s personality and kids mental toughness. But I would get left if I wasn’t ready. And I had to get up by myself. And only had a few weekends to rifle hunt

[@HUNTRPOD]

It’s all about individual drive for sure

[@GulfofMerica]

Awesome video!

[@HUNTRPOD]

Thanks John!

[@mathewsarrowslinger2787]

You guys have done a great job with guests and content thus far... Being from Indiana wished you would have pushed in a little harder on what they are looking for when evaluating a State/area to hunt.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Good point James! We will make sure that we get those guys back on before the season.

[@txrcnoob]

I hunt and fish both pretty serious not on the level of the guys in the video but I think you get what I am saying. In fishing really bass fishing in particular the goal isn't 1 particular fish. My goal near term is a 13 lb bass purely because in my state we have the share lunker program. But ultimately I want to catch a public water body lake record bass. This to me is the equivalent of shooting a 170 public land deer.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Yep that makes sense!

[@paulclarke5515]

Lol. My dad's n uncles would spend nights in my home farm house talking about where these bucks were bedding and planning how to succeed. I loved turkey hunting and coyote calling. My dad called turkey just woods chickens and never hunts a coyote just shoots them on site if seen.

[@jonathansimmons4253]

Wow, 1 tag? I get 12 tags here in SC.

[@wadetaylor1299]

Kill lot doe hey

[@johnlamont3885]

great podcast. In regards to the high amount of deer in the south could this be because since they’re smaller the environment can handle more of them in regards to their consumption of forage and the biomass they take up?

[@HUNTRPOD]

Good point John, and very possible. For sure more deer space too.

[@spikestvoutdoors4842]

Let’s see the public land challenge happened in south Florida

[@HUNTRPOD]

Haha that would be wild!

[@johnny_fins]

Pro tip-carry jeans and extra clothes in your truck so that when you knock, you take the camo off. The yes % goes WAY up

[@HUNTRPOD]

Good call Matt!

[@frenchfrayer]

Would love to see some time stamps so I can navigate the 3 hour video a bit better.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Great point Charlie! I’ll get the team to break it down in the description. - Jeremy

[@austink2084]

Link up and podcast with the thp boys

[@HUNTRPOD]

Working on it man

[@radamrussell]

Good podcast guys. Congrats on the nuptials Warb! But I totally disagree at 2:01:20. There is plenty of room for "hunter" shaming, but the problem is that very few of the people who should be ashamed are capable of feeling shame. It comes down to a lack of knowledge in some instances (and I have all the patience in the world for that type of encounter), but I'd say 98% of problems on public and private is a lack of respect for others, the animals, the outdoors, you name it. It's those guys who "claim" a tree or a trail or a cove and then raise hell and call you or me the a-hole when called on it....much less people who are a literal danger to other hunters like in Warb's case during gun season. That guy should be appalled for what he did and shamed every day of his hunting life going forward. I personally think a game warden should've gotten involved in that and put him in the hunter time-out for a couple years. But my point is, there isn't enough shame and enforcement of basic hunter/woodsman ethics/actions by hunters overall because 'It's not worth the hassle.' There are a million ways to hunt a buck or a duck, but there is only one way to do many, many, many things while hunting. I was scouting a piece post-season and happened upon someone - I guess they were hog hunting from a blind - he got my attention, and I got the heck out of that area to let him do his thing....and I was hoping I pushed something his way as I made my loop. Basic.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Great comment Adam, and you are completely right. Honestly, I feel super guilty walking in on public and running into someone set up. It’s just morals that someone beat you to it but you feel bad that you may have interrupted the hunt. Compare that to the guys who blatantly see me, and still set up next to me. There are some bad apples out there, and I can deal with it, but my fear is young and new hunters can’t which forces them out of hunting.

[@spikestvoutdoors4842]

Florida

[@billyedwards5716]

As much as I love THP, I'd like to see Aaron do his own show. Still public, but a completely solo style.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Tough to make volume of content alone

[@billyedwards5716]

@@HUNTRPOD yeah I see that. Aaron is probably top 3 whitetail guys in the country. I wish it were showcased.

[@79TEOG]

You gotta let the guest finish their thought u consistently cut them off

[@HUNTRPOD]

We're working on it haha

[@trumanmiller94]

No offense to either of you guys. I believe you are listening to respond, and not to understand. Therefore, why you can't understand other peoples perspective of why they like to kill young bucks or yearlings. I hope both of you can take a wrap off, slow down, and listen to your quest and not fire off your next opinion while cutting them off. I hope your podcast grows and improves.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Keep us straight Truman! In no way are we knocking people who do it. Just not our style most of the time. That said I had no problem thwacking a 2 year muley on public in NoDak last year. First muley ever and first velvet buck. That said, I’ll be looking to move up age classes this year. It’s just personal growth. I still get the shakes when I shoot a doe, that will never change. I still get the shakes when a spike walks under my stand, I hope that never changes. I just choose to set a high standard, frankly because I don’t want my season to end! - Jeremy

[@garrett1188]

A case of beer goes a long way to get permission on ground....

[@garrett1188]

Also walking up in normal clothes vs camo I feel makes a huge difference.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Case of beer goes a long way with us too haha

[@zacharyclark8905]

Man when I was five years old I had a passion to hunt like I have a passion now if you got it you got it that’s the difference between the generation now and our kids generation

[@HUNTRPOD]

Good call Zachary, still need a little help to move past all the distractions but you’re right

[@jerrysimms4717]

Did the muscle kid say he’s doesn’t like to eat deer ?

[@martymiller6565]

Jeremy complains like a woman

[@rorynelson7548]

Been hunting turkeys for 5 years amd have not killed one. I swear when i finally get one, im going to punch it in the head as hard as i can over and over

[@HUNTRPOD]

Ha yessss

[@derrickhulsey3490]

Thp was at their peak around the time of this podcast. Last few years have been a bit weak

[@daniellejessie2322]

Why the hell do you hunt deer when you don’t like eating deer meat? There’s nothing wrong with being a trophy hunter. Don’t know why you’re trying to pretend you’re not one. Also, your guest is more successful than both of you put together but you aren’t even letting him finish what he’s saying before you start talking about yourself again. Did you only have him on to get more views? Honestly, that’s the only reason why I clicked the video. Couldn’t finish the video after dude on the right said, “I don’t even like eating deer”. What a joke.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Appreciate the feedback Danielle, getting better at the podcast piece. Lots of hunter don’t like deer meat but donate it to needy families

[@Horner181]

Put you and jake in a room and your voices are the same I couldn’t tell you guys apart

[@erniemargelot3200]

Great conversations Love watch thp. Talking about one of the conversation I hunted a deer for 5 years let him walk three years with many opportunities to kill him and the year I had planned to shoot the buck he was hit by a car that same day I was hunting him!! So I would much rather have seen another hunter kill him than getting hit by a car!!!

[@TheBigbrent71]

I couldn't even listen to it what's with the feedback?
