The roller coaster of turkey season can sometimes literally go up and down. Brent’s got two prime examples of that this week when a self-proclaimed Yankee finds himself between a Southern local and gobbling turkeys. Not to be outdone, Brent’s climbing the hills with one of his good friends in search of their very first turkey--a memorable hunt indeed! It’s time for MeatEater’s “This Country Life” podcast.

Traveling out of state to turkey hunt is one of my most favorite activities, especially when I get to go somewhere I've never been before. I always come home with something, and more times than not, it’s a turkey. This time was no different and I brought back two things--one was an unused turkey tag and the other was a greater appreciation for home and family. On this trip, I met folks who value people and places just like I do and it wouldn’t have been better had I punched that tag. It’s turkey time in Alabama on MeatEater’s “This Country Life" podcast.
