Episode Overview

Steven Rinella, Bryan Callen, and Cam Edwards join Joe Rogan for a wide-ranging conversation that blends hunting, human nature, and wildlife management.

The group then delves into the physical and mental demands of hunting, with Rinella sharing vivid stories about the challenges of long hikes, the unpredictability of the wilderness, and the emotional weight of both success and failure in the field.
