In this episode, Spence Halford, Kelan Samples, and the boys are in the truck on their way back from a successful hunt in Kansas with our friends from Phire Creek Outfitters. The boys, Tripp and Weston, talk us through their hunts and their favorite moments from the trip. There's some special about hearing a hunt retold from the perspective of these boys. The good old days are now.
Big thanks to Phire Creek Outfitters for hosting us!

In this episode, we are joined by our good buddy, David Hawley, on the back porch of Feathers Chapel to catch up on the season so far and to talk about hunting educated birds, managing your property for healthier, more sustainable turkey populations, the resurgence of the turkey trumpet, the mission of the Wild Turkey Report, and about why you should never lock Black Betty without asking...
If you don't follow the Wild Turkey Report, you do yourself a disservice. It is a wealth of knowledge and an all around great resource. David is passionate about turkeys now, but he's even more passionate about turkeys in the future. A legacy matters. Passing down skills and a love of the wild turkey to future generations is the only thing that will ensure that we'll still be in the woods in early spring waiting on a gobble.

Alright - you're going to want to take out a pencil and a piece of paper for this one. We were fortunate enough to get on the line with one of the most interesting and influential people in the turkey world. Dr. Mike Chamberlain a.k.a the Wild Turkey Doc. Dr. Chamberlain is a Terrell Professor in the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources at the University of Georgia. His research and the insights we gather from the data are significantly influencing the way that we think about turkey movement, behavior, and population. We discuss various topics including turkey behavior, trapping and transponder research efforts, nest predators and predator control, predation on turkeys by the great horned owl, and about turkey hunting in general.
We hope to get the Wild Turkey Doc on the podcast for an episode in the future. If we didn't touch on a particular topic you'd like to hear us discuss, please let us know and we'll try to get it in in a subsequent episode!

In this episode, we catch up with our good buddy from South Carolina, Michael Boozer. He's a road warrior and a dyed in the wool turkey hunter. We talk to him about the romance of the spring turkey hunt, The Turkey Fight Club, and about taking your children hunting. One of the most colorful people you'd ever meet. We hope to catch up with Boozer again in South Carolina in a few weeks at the Low Country Invitational.

In this episode, we are joined by Jason Hart from Nomad Outdoor from sunny Florida and Osceola turkey camp. We talk about the Florida opener and about the new innovations in the Nomad Outdoor turkey line for 2021. Jason has harvested a wild turkey in 47 of 49 states. We talk about his pursuit of the final two and how this will, hopefully, be the season that he accomplishes it. Along the way, we'll cut the beagles loose.

In this episode, we hear from Tripp and Spence Halford about their opening day turkey hunt down in Mississippi. Doesn't get much sweeter than a father and son walking into a block of woods with hope and anticipation and walking out with memories that will last a lifetime.
Also, in this episode, we are joined by Austin Stapleton on his way back to Texas. We talk about turkey season coming up and the good and bad influences of social media on the outdoors.

After being stood up the night before, Rob and Spence finally catch up with Brandon Pendergrass and Jeff Lovan of the Chasing Spring Project. If you've been following along, you know that things have been pretty "tough" for the guys at their spring quarters in Hawaii. As a matter of fact, the spring just about couldn't be getting off to a better start for this bunch and we're excited to share more about what they've got going on.
2,500 miles off the western coast of the United States, Hawaii is much more than sand, surfing, and beaches. Hawaii is home to a thriving rainforest, tall mountain peaks, large cattle ranches, and some world class turkey hunting. Hard to beat that!

What if you set up for a podcast and no one came? You'd get episode 37. We were set to talk to our buddies Jeff Lovan and Brandon Pendergrass from Chasing Spring but they got held up in the airport ahead of the Hawaii turkey hunt. So instead of shutting it down, Ben, Rob and their father Greg Kinney turned the beagles loose. We talked a little bit about turkey hunting, field care for your dog, and the hard conversation of when to retire a dog. This ain't the main course but consider it an appetizer for Rolling Thunder Thursdays. Hopefully we can catch up with the boys, soon!

Back to your regularly scheduled programming; in this episode, we are joined by Hunter Farrior, the founder of Spring Legion and author of the book "Ballad of a Turkey Hunter." You won't find too many guys in their twenties who have written and published a book, let alone about turkey hunting. We talk turkey hunting, learn more about Spring Legion, writing his book, and the romance of turkey hunting and the return of spring.
You can find Hunter's book on Amazon or by visiting www.springlegion.com.

Last week, Blake McWilliams and the boys at Mallard Estates Outfitter hosted several veteran and active-duty servicemembers at the lodge for the veterans' hunt weekend. These men were kind enough to sit down with us to share their stories, what hunting and the outdoor community means to them, and what it means to serve and be proud of your country.
A huge thanks to Dalton Fish, Trent Collette, and Stephen Dellinger of the 1st Ranger Battalion and Kevin Chandler and Nathan Huffman from the United States Navy.
