The Turkey Hunter Podcast with Andy Gagliano & Cameron Weddington | Turkey Hunting Tips, Strategies, and Stories

An Outrageous Turkey Hunt

This week Andy shares one of his spring hunts with us. The day this hunt took place the weather was horrible. The wind was howling, and the temperature was just above freezing.

Once the turkey hunt heated up, the cold went away. And the turkey that Andy's hunting partner, Chip, killed tried to climb into their laps. Chip basically had to kill this turkey in self defense.

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 Slowest Rapid Fire Q&A

This week Cameron and Andy run through the 30 Rapid Fire Q&A questions with each other with a little twist to the strategy of the contest. The strategy in this week's show is to answer the question and take some time to explain the answers to the questions.

There are some great stories shared, a few hunting tips, and some info about Cameron and Andy that you may not have known already.

This is a fun episode, and we hope that you enjoy it. Listen in!

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.

Listen in to some great audio and a very good story as well.

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.
