Turkey Talk with Kenny Mount Pt 1

This week, Kenny Mount, aka Chubbs from the Pinhoti Project, joins Cameron and Andy to talk some turkey.

Kenny is always one of the most listened to guests that we have on the show because of his humor, frankness, honesty, and well thought out views on many topics. 

Just like past episodes where Cameron and Andy have interviewed Kenny, this one takes many turns and twists, and there are some great stories as well.

The entire interview with Kenny ran over 2 hours, so Cameron and Andy cut this one into 2 parts. This episode contains part 1 of the interview, so be sure to tune in to next week's show where part 2 of the interview, that contains a great deal of listener Q&A, will be released.

2023 NWTF Convention and Sport Show Preview with Pete Muller

This week, Pete Muller with the NWTF joins Cameron and Andy to give us an update on what is going on at the NWTF and to fill us in on the upcoming 2023 NWTF Convention and Sport Show happening in Nashville in February.

The NWTF has set some lofty goals for 2023 - its 50th year anniversary.

• Recruit 75,000 new adult members
• Raise $500,000 for wild turkey research
• Positively impact 1,000,000 acres
• Dedicate $1,000,000 for our Hunting Heritage programs
• Raise $5,000,000 to invest in our people and modernize our IT infrastructure
• Raise $5,000,000 to build $50,000,000 endowment

These goals cannot be accomplished without the help of people like our listeners donating time and money. 

One way we can help the NWTF to achieve those goals is to support the 2023 Convention and Sport Show happening in Nashville. Pete shares a great deal of what is going on at the show this year, and this event is a great opportunity to scratch that turkey itch a couple of months before season starts for most of us.

This is a fantastic episode that you do not want to miss. Listen in!
