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

Possible Progress in Arkansas with Jeremy Wood

This week, Jeremy Wood, the Wild Turkey Program Coordinator for the Arkansas Game and Fish Department, joins Andy and Cameron on the show.

Jeremy and other biologists proposed some fairly drastic changes to the state of Arkansas a couple of years ago, and he got tremendous buy-in from the turkey hunters in the state who care enough about their turkey population to see if these changes will work.

Jeremy talks about some of those changes to regulations and season dates as well as some of the results of their research. Jeremy also speaks about some of the habitat improvement projects going on in the state that are beneficial to wild turkeys.

Listen in to this week's show to see if Jeremy touches on something that you think may work to help increase the wild turkey population in your own state.

A Deafeningly Silent Minnesota Turkey Hunt

This week, Cameron and I share my 2020 Minnesota turkey hunt with you.

Chip, Yankee John, and I hunted there in the spring of 2020 to try to get those 2 guys each a bird in the state.

When you stumble across a public land bird that wants to play ball, that is usually all it takes to make a trip like that an amazing one. Chip and I found one this particular morning. He gobbled hard. He gobbled a lot. He was lonely, and he loved a southern accent.

There was just one problem with this hunt. One big problem.

Listen in and enjoy this week's great episode.
