A Puerto Rican Double
This week, Cameron and Andy share the story and audio of Andy and Chip's, Puerto Rican double.
This was one of the quickest hunts that Andy had this past season, and it needed to be. With just 30 minutes to go before legal hunting hours were going to end, 2 longbeards were spotted in a field that no one had permission to hunt.
So, Chip and Andy had to get permission from the landowner, get in the woods, and call these two birds within gun range in about a half hour.

What Are Fall Turkeys Doing with Dr. Mike Chamberlain
Dr. Mike Chamberlain joins Cameron and Andy again this week.
Cameron picks Mike's brain about what wild turkeys are doing this time of year in hopes the additional knowledge will help him to be able to locate some wild turkeys to hunt this fall. There is talk about fall food sources and why turkeys start to turn away from food sources that are higher in protein, but require more effort to obtain.
Mike shoots down (in a nice way, of course) Andy's theory about how early summer family flocks transition into late summer and then fall.
We also get to hear a good bit about Mike's African safari with his son during this summer along with several other interesting topics.

The Alaskan Two Bucket Turkey
This week Cameron shares the story of the Alaskan Two Bucket Turkey with us.
This hunt took place this past spring in "Alaska." Unlike most of the other hunting stories and audio that Cameron and Andy share with you guys on the show, the Alaskan Two Bucket Turkey is not actually the star of this week's episode.

The Gobbling Puerto Rican Clear Cut Turkey
This week, Andy shares the story of most vocal wild turkey gobbler in the entire territory of Puerto Rico and how he was able to harvest the bird.
This turkey gobbled at least 125 times that morning before meeting the business end of Andy's sweet little 20 something while he strutted and drummed in a clear cut for well over an hour.
This is the type of turkey that we all would love to meet every single morning we step foot into the woods. Listen in to the story and the audio of the hunt of this awesome turkey and for the trick that led to his demise.

Wild Turkey Research Studies Past and Future with Will Gulsby
This week Dr. Will Gulsby with Auburn University joins Cameron and Andy on the show. Will shares some of the very surprising findings from a study regarding nest predation with us. Will shares information on how the study was set up and the data gathered.
Will also shares with us the details on a couple of interesting studies that will begin with the 2022 spring turkey hunting season. These 2 studies were funded in part by a fund raising campaign by The Hunting Public and by Turkeys for Tomorrow.
One of those two studies will need participation from turkey hunters in the state of Alabama. If you would like to help in shaping the future of our wild turkey populations in the future, then you may want to participate in this study.

Wild Turkey Habitat Management with Dr. Grant Woods
Cameron and Andy have an incredible episode for you this week with Dr. Grant Woods from Growing Deer TV.
Despite Grant being a whitetail deer biologist, he has an incredible amount of knowledge about wild turkeys and wild turkey habitat management.
Grant, Andy and Cameron discuss how Grant took his property that he calls The Proving Grounds from having 1 gobbling turkey on it his first year of owning the property to a point where he now has one of the premier turkey properties in his state.
They also discuss some additional things that we hunters and land managers can do to improve our turkey habitat and our turkey population as well.
I do not think there is an episode of The Turkey Hunter Podcast where so many different topics that can benefit wild turkeys has been discussed. Listen in!
