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

A Vermont Turkey Hunt

This week, I'm sharing my Vermont turkey hunt with you.

This hunt was a great deal tougher than my hunt in Maine. These Vermont turkeys had been pressured a fair amount, and they acted a good bit like an Alabama wild turkey.

This ended up being a great hunt with plenty of highs and lows and turkey encounters. 

Listen in and learn about one new tool that I've added to my turkey hunting gear that helped make a difference with my Vermont turkey.

A Timely Replay of the Habitat Management Interview with Grant Woods

This week I have a replay of the Habitat Management Interview with Grant Woods just in time as many of you guys prepare to plant food plots to get ready for deer and fall turkey seasons. This interview has quite a few food plot tips in it as well as general tips on how to manage our hunting properties for wild turkeys.

Listen in as Grant shares his knowledge and experience with us in hopes that we can make our properties be wild turkey meccas.

An Interview with a New Turkey Hunter with Judy Camuso

This week, I have an awesome interview with Judy Camuso who is the Commissioner of the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife for the state of Maine. 

Judy is actually new to the sport of hunting, and her reason for participating in the sport came from her want to include more organic sources of animal protein in her diet.

I speak with her about her first successful turkey hunt, her entry into the sport of hunting, her previous vegetarian lifestyle, and of course her work.

Listen in to this week's interview with Judy to learn a few more talking points that can help us convince those who may be curious about hunting to venture out into the woods with us this coming fall, winter, and spring.

The Future of Hunting Seminar from 2019 NWTF Convention

This week I'm playing the recording of The Future of Hunting Seminar put on by Cuz Strickland, Jimmy Primos, Matt Morrett, Fred Zink, and Jeremiah Dowdy from the 2019 NWTF Convention and Sport Show in Nashville.

There is much discussion of the decrease in the number of licensed hunters in this country and ways that we hunters can bring more people into the sport so that it will continue to thrive.

Listen in, put on your thinking caps to find a way that we can get new hunters involved, and take action.

Mainely Turkeys

This week, I'm sharing my hunt from Maine with you guys. 

This is a pretty strange hunt in regards to where it took place and how it went down. 

Listen in as Chip and I mark another state off of our list of states needed to complete our Super Slams.

Scott Ellis Seminar from 2019 NWTF Convention

This week, I am sharing the seminar from the Scott Ellis Seminar called "Setting the Mood" from the 2019 NWTF Convention in Nashville, TN.

In this seminar, Scott discusses how he approaches calling scenarios from starting off soft and subtle to moving towards a more vocal, aggressive, and demanding calling style. Scott also discusses an alternative to how we call to henned up toms.

We also get to hear some calling examples during Scott's presentation, and a lengthy question and answer session.

Listen in.

A Giant New York Wild Turkey

This week, I share the story of my 2nd New York wild turkey hunt. 

We spotted this turkey with some hens and jakes in a hay field on a hillside. After relocating we found ourselves set up about 75 yards from the turkey with the guide float calling behind us using jake and hen calling.

This was an interesting hunt with a huge double bearded turkey on the ground after the shot.

Listen in and enjoy!

Happy Birthday Merica Turkey Soup

This week, I bring us all up to date on turkey and turkey hunting news, and I chat with Steve Stoltz about his 2019 spring turkey hunting season.

Mississippi, Alabama, Idaho, Michigan, Wisconsin, and North Carolina are some of the states in this week's turkey soup.

Listen in!

Phillip Vanderpool Q&A Seminar from 2019 NWTF Convention

This week I have the Phillip Vanderpool seminar from the 2019 NWTF Convention in Nashville, TN. Phillip filled in on very short notice for Ray Eye during the convention due to Ray's leaving the show to tend to an emergency at home.

Due to the short notice that Phillip had to fill in, he did not have his usual video presentation so he hosted a Q&A seminar with questions coming from the audience.

Listen in as Phillip covers hunting from blinds, bowhunting turkeys, fall turkey hunting, decoys, mid day hunting, and many other topics.

Early Summer Turkey Soup

This week I try to catch us all up on some turkey hunting news - after what, in retrospect, sounds like a little bit of a rant.

In this week's news is Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Rhode Island, Ohio, Arkansas, Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, Nebraska, and Wisconsin turkey hunting harvest results and announcements of brood surveys being conducted.

I also make mention of truly custom turkey calls made by Primos and turkey socks designed by yours truly - yep, turkey socks.

Listen in!
