Land & Legacy - The Science Behind Turkey Loads May 04, 2021

Show notes

On this week's podcast you will hear from our special guest Nate Robinson of Winchester Ammunition. Nate is a dear friend of Land & Legacy and has a deep understanding of the science behind quality ammunition. On top of this, he has a passion for turkey hunting, so he was the perfect guest to chat about the innovative Longbeard XR turkey load. For nearly ten years, we have been shooting the Longbeard XR round with some great results. With Nate's understanding of the round, we discuss the in's and out's of the buffering, compression of the ignition, deformation of lead pellets, shot size, and downrange performance. In addition, we discuss the cost, which is extremely economical compared to the newest fade of TSS loads. $2.50 per round or $12.50 a round makes a big difference! If you enjoy turkey hunting and turkey stories, this is a great podcast for you! Land & Legacy is Powered by Simplecast

Ohio Huntsman - Patterning Your Turkey Shotgun Apr 28, 2021

Show notes

This week on the show we discuss how to pattern a shotgun. Anyone who has ever looked online for tips on patterning a shotgun knows there is varying information depending on where you look. We mainly focused on patterning for turkey season specifically but the same general concepts apply to all shotguns and choke/shell combinations. We discussed what size shot we typically use for turkey hunting and also what the positives and negatives are for each size. We also discussed what distances we typically pattern our guns out to and what our reasoning is for limiting ourselves to those distances. We then discuss what we use for targets and also how many BBs we like to see in the "kill zone" to feel comfortable at a given distance. Ohio Huntsman is Powered by Simplecast

Land & Legacy - The Forgotten Element of Cover Apr 27, 2021

Show notes

During this podcast, Matt and Kyle discuss some of the key elements of creating quality cover. The most forgotten element is structure! Often times you hear how structure is relate to fish cover or rabbit cover, but structure is just as important for quail, turkeys and deer! Consistency of quality bedding is often a goal for most hunters and without understanding how the structure of that cover is oriented will often leave you disappointed with the lack of results. We hope you enjoy this podcast and get a finer detailed understanding of what creates cover and how structure is woven into this element of land management. Land & Legacy is Powered by Simplecast

Land & Legacy - Wild Turkey Podcast Series Opening Day Success Apr 27, 2021

Show notes

This week was the kickoff to Missouri spring turkey season and we couldn't have been more excited. It's a 12 month process of habitat work and planning to ensure the population is healthy and sustainable. It hasn't always been this way though, there have been recent seasons of past that forced us into hunting other farms to give what few turkeys there were a break. The population has rebounded and we're in for a fun season! Opening day of season was kicked off with the production team of Slate + Glass filming for the National Wild Turkey Federation online show "Turkey Call." With birds roosted the night prior by Chainsaw Chad we felt we had a great chance. Keep in mind this was our first official hunt as the landowners of this property, so that morning had more meaning that others. As a landowner there is a responsibility to ensure you're doing what's beneficial for the landscape, not just what you want. We've been managing this farm over the years with timber thinning, burning, prescribed fire, and of course food plots, and turkeys have taken notice. We discuss the opening day hunts on this podcast and how we've watched the turkey population rise and fall, and rise again and how we use state regulations as well as personal observations to put together a plan of harvest. Tune in to hear about our opening day! #ForLoveoftheLand Land & Legacy is Powered by Simplecast
