Repeat Encounters in the Turkey Woods: 3 Hunts, Same Tree
Three years with your back against the same tree can teach you more than a stack of tags, or perhaps it only further proves there are no certainties in turkey hunting. In this episode, we unpack three seasons centered on the same setup and why gobblers kept working that ground in eerily similar ways. From loud leaves that accidentally “called” a bird, to a light wind that gave us just enough cover, to a hot gobbling longbeard that veered at the last second, we trace how small choices an...

We unpack how to recognize real drumming by cadence, separate it...

Turning Mistakes into Woodsmanship: Top Lessons from Turkey Season
Ever have a gobbler prove your first instinct right while you sit in the wrong spot? That’s the thread running through this one: trust the high seat when the terrain says high, let the bird lay the first card, and don’t let a cutoff clock rush you into a bad setup. We start with the good stuff—our Greenleaf drop and Black Friday bundles—then get straight into fieldcraft that held up under pressure: roost strategy, reading hills, and taking the shot before the window slides shut. We break dow...
