The First Turkey Soup Episode of the New Year
Listen in as I share turkey and turkey hunting news that you need to know this week.
In the news this week is Missouri, Iowa, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New York, New Hampshire, Maryland, Louisiana, Arkansas, Kansas, Nebraska, Idaho, Wyoming, Minnesota, Tennessee, and probably one or two states that I can't remember right now.
This is the time of year when permit applications open, quota hunt application periods open, and states release their turkey season dates and bag limits.
There really is too much information in this episode to skip it, especially if you plan on a turkey hunting trip out of state.

Interviews with 3 NWTF National Board of Directors Nominees
This week I interview 3 of the nominees for the NWTF National Board of Directors. These 3 gentlemen have the opportunity to help plan out the course for the National Wild Turkey Federation for the next several years.
For those of us who are members of the NWTF, choosing the best board members is crucial to the mission, and success of, the NWTF.
My first interview is with Joe Judd who is from Shelburne, Massachusetts. My second interview is with Joe Foster from McCammon, Idaho. And, my last interview is with Nelson Estess from Magnolia, Mississippi.
Not only do I ask these guys why they are running for the board of directors, but I twist their arms into sharing a turkey hunting story with us as well.

Post Thanksgiving Turkey Soup
This week, I have another turkey soup episode for you guys.
This is the time of year when spring turkey tag application periods open in some states, and knowing the dates of those application periods is important. So, this week we talk about a couple of those states where the period has opened, or will be opening soon.
This is also the time of year when some states ask for input from hunters about proposed regulation changes regarding season dates and bag limits. If your state government is asking for your input, then by all means you should give it to them.
Some states have already released their harvest statistics for their fall 2019 turkey seasons, and we will talk about the results of some of those seasons.

2020 Unicoi Turkey Call Makers Show Preview
This week, I have Mark Sharpe on the show to talk about the upcoming 2020 Unicoi Turkey Call Makers Show at the Unicoi State Park in Helen, GA. The show will be held January 10 - 11, 2020.
Mark gives us a preview of the show so we will know what to expect when we get there. I can tell you that if the 2020 show is anything like the 2019 show, then it will be one you will not want to miss.
Not only are there custom turkey calls everywhere in the room that you can pick up, run, and purchase to take home with you, but there are hundreds of like-minded turkey hunting fools in the group as well.
This is a show that any die hard turkey hunter needs to attend at least once, and a trip to Unicoi will certainly be worth the time and effort to get there.
Listen in to this week's show, and then come see me in Helen, GA in January of 2020.
