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

In this episode, I share some of the ways that I use Google Earth to help me become a better turkey hunter.

Google Earth is an irreplaceable scouting tool. By using your knowledge of wild turkey behavior and studying Google Earth to see how turkeys can use your hunting land for their needs for food, shelter, and water, you can greatly increase your odds of success. 

I also like to use Google Earth while I'm hunting to make sure that I don't scare gobbling turkeys and to mark a turkey's last known location if I have to leave one in the woods.

Google Earth can also help you stay safe while turkey hunting when used properly.

Listen in to this episode and see how using Google Earth can help you to become a better turkey hunter.

Pot and peg turkey calls seem like very simple instruments, but there are so many variables that go into making one that affect the sound quality of that call.

This is part 2 of an interview that I did with Adam Prouty of Prouty Game Calls and Brent Rogers, a friend of the show. In this part of the interview, Adam shares with us the functional differences between 1 and 2 piece strikers and he gives us a few weatherproof pot and peg call combinations so we can still make turkey sounds while it is pouring rain.  Adam also shares the story of his most recent successful turkey hunt and one or two things that helped to make that hunt a success.

Listen in and enjoy part 2 of Dissecting a Pot and Peg Turkey Call. 

There are so many different variables that go into making a pot and peg turkey call that affect the sound produced by that call, and many of us turkey hunters do not even give those components a second thought. But there are a few wood and calling surface combinations on the market that sound better than most of the other options.

In this episode of The Turkey Hunter podcast, Adam Prouty with Adam Prouty Turkey Calls shares some tips to help us pick the best pot and peg call that we can while we are shopping for new calls. Adam dissects a pot and peg call, how the different components of a call can affect the sound of the calls, pot and calling surface combinations that are consistently great sounding calls, which striker components sound best with which pot calling surfaces.

Be sure to listen next week as Adam shares the functional differences between one and two piece strikers, some great weatherproof call options, and what it is that people do to his calls that make him cringe. Adam also is going to share the story of his most recent successful turkey hunt and the one or two things that made that hunt a success.

This is part 2 of episode 53 where I discuss how to pick a piece of public land to hunt turkeys on.

In this part of the interview, Dave Owens shares some interesting tactics about how to hunt public land once you've chosen it, the politics that can sometimes play into hunting public land, and his pet peeve about taking pictures of wild turkey trophies.

Dave Owens is a turkey hunter on a mission - a mission to kill a turkey in all 49 states that have turkeys. Dave is tackling this mission hunting primarily public land. 

In this episode of The Turkey Hunter podcast, I interview Dave about how to choose public land for turkey hunting. Dave shares how he chooses public land, how he chooses spots for hunting on public land, and how he helps to minimize the chances of failure hunting these public lands.

Listen in to learn some great tips on how to choose public land for turkey hunting. I learned a great deal in this interview, and I'm sure you will pick up on a few tips as well.

Be sure to listen in to Part 2 next week.

In this episode of The Turkey Hunter Podcast, I discuss 3 unconventional turkey hunting strategies that you may have never tried.  These 3 strategies are a bit unique and are not necessarily strategies that you will want to try every time you go into the turkey woods.

These strategies are designed to get you to think about ways that you can mix up your turkey hunts to counter the unpredictability of wild turkeys.

If you are going to kill turkeys, then you need to find turkeys. One of the best ways to do that is to use locator calls to help pinpoint the location of a lovesick Tom. 

In this episode of The Turkey Hunter podcast, I discuss 10 types of locator calls and some tips on how to use those calls to get better response from turkeys.

Listen in as I talk crow calls, owl calls, hawk calls, gobble calls, peacock calls, pileated woodpecker calls, rooster crows, turkey calls, and coyote howlers.

In this episode, I share 5 random turkey hunting tips that will hopefully help you to save money, stay safe while hunting, and to kill more turkeys.

You've done everything right on that early morning hunt, and that turkey you've been working steps into range for your 12 Gauge. You get your cheek down on the buttstock of the gun, aim, and slowly squeeze the trigger.  Now what?

In today's episode I'm going to discuss what to do after your shot. There are several safety concerns that are addressed in this episode. If you watch lots of hunting television shows, then you see lots of hosts of those shows do these things incorrectly. 

Hope you enjoy the show, and thanks for tuning in!

LIsten in to this special alligator hunting episode of The Turkey Hunter podcast where Jeff Gregg shares the story of harvesting what could turn out to be the new record alligator taken on Lake Eufala in Alabama.
