Exercise and Turkey Hunting with Lindsay Persico
This week Cameron and I have exercise and fitness guru Lindsay Persico on the show to talk about how exercise can help us to become better turkey hunters.
We talk about how easily this can be done today without going to a gym and how to best start an exercise routine even if we have not exercised in years. We also discuss what Lindsay's exercise routine looks like and how she manages to get her cardio in. Lindsay helps us build our routine by offering some exercises we can do to get in shape.
After the great interview with Lindsay, Cameron and I talk a little bit about our own workout routines and cardio exercises to get ourselves in tip top shape for chasing turkeys around the country.

A Fan of Alabama Turkey Hunt
This week, Cameron and I share the story and audio of my second kill in Alabama.
This was a hunt in late April where I fanned in a very long spurred wild turkey on my own property. I've been trying to kill a turkey on that property for the past 3 years or so, and I've come so close but just never could get the goal marked off of my list.
This season, I made it happen while challenging what probably was one of the boss toms in the area.
Listen in to the hunt this week and also to a little extra commentary after we play the hunt.

How Not to Kill More Turkeys with the Primos Gang
This week, Cameron and I share the Primos seminar from the 2020 NWTF Convention and Sport Show. The seminar is entitled How Not to Kill More Turkeys.
As usual, Primos puts on a great seminar that is entertaining and informative. Whatever it is the guys at Primos do, you can consider it to be done well. This seminar is no different. Why they even show a video during the seminar of how to kill a turkey without ever firing a shot. It is truly amazing!

We catch up with him while he is on vacation in the vehicle heading north to see his family, and we get him to fill us in on how his season went. We also talk to him about the new shotgun shell manufacturing company that he and a couple of others have started called TSS, which stands for The Super Slam.

A Steaming Hot Bowl of Summertime Turkey Soup

Our last turkey soup episode was quite some time ago, and a lot has happened in the world of turkey hunting since then, ie - high COVID wild turkey murder rates, etc.
Listen in this week as Cameron and I talk about numerous topics related to turkey hunting while we cover the news from states like Indiana, New York, Wisconsin, Ohio, Maryland, Maine, Arkansas, and even from our friends north of the border in Canada.

Travis and I talk about how to put on a mentored hunt, how to find land to hunt, how to find mentors and mentees, how to find gear, which types of hunts make better mentored hunts, and a handful of other topics.
Mentored hunts are a great opportunity for those of us experienced hunters to pass along our heritage and past time to others who may enjoy the sport more than we do.

An Alabama Opening Day Screw Up
This week, Cameron and Andy share a turkey hunt from opening day of Alabama's 2020 turkey season. We believe there is just as much to learn, if not more, from a hunt gone wrong as there is from a successful hunt. Today, we have one gone wrong for you.
In this hunt, Andy is joined by his friend, Todd, and Todd's son, Pow. They visit Andy's hunting club in central Alabama, and find a lonely tom a couple of hours after daylight.
Listen in to this week's hunt to hear about their setup and what went wrong during the hunt.

292P - Government and Wild Turkeys with Joel Pedersen

Government and Wild Turkeys
There are many different variables that go into whether or not you have a successful season in the woods hunting wild turkeys. Weather, calling skills, woodsmanship, proper setup, knowing when to move and when to sit still are all important factors in determining our success. But, how often do you think about the fact that if we didn't have wild turkeys your turkey hunting season would be a big failure?
Our federal government as well as our state governments are very involved in managing our wild turkey habitat and the populations of turkeys across the country. There really is a lot of time, energy, and money that goes into managing the habitat and population, but did you know that there is also a lot of time, energy, and money that goes into lobbying our elected federal officials to make sure that they understand how important wild turkeys are to our federal lands and those of us who hunt them?
This week, Cameron and I have Joel Pedersen who is the Director of Government Affairs with the NWTF on the show with us to talk about some of the finer points of working with government officials in order to promote the policies that help to promote our wild turkey populations.
Listen in this week to hear all about government and wild turkeys.
