We love talkin' Turkey! Especially when we can talk turkey calling and tactics with Scott C. Ellis, a 3X Grand National Turkey calling Champ. Scott also has his own show, Hunt Quest, and was an integral part in developing a turkey calling app, "Turkey Tech with Scott Ellis".

In this episode, you'll find that turkey hunting is more than just great woodsmanship, it is about combining that knowledge with proficient calling. When it all comes together, you will be able to be successful wherever you go.  Scott also touches on factors like daylight and weather that trigger testosterone in Toms. This knowledge can help hunters understand when they will likely start to breed. 

Have you ever wondered what you should do when turkey's just aren't answering to calls? Or what a good calling method would be for folks unable to use mouth calls? 

Listen to the episode to find out!

Empower Outdoors co-host, Phil Stepp is back on the show to help recap our fall hunting seasons and celebrate Empower Outdoors' 1 year mark! We talk everything from deer season, our lack of ice fishing time, thoughts about shooting small bucks, our thoughts about shed hunting and upcoming turkey hunts! Lots of laughter included!

In this episode, Ali Juten speaks with GoWild App Chief Marketing Officer, Jenn Callahan.  GoWild is one of the fastest growing social media and activity tracking platforms for outdoors enthusiasts and truly is a space for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts to share their experiences, expertise, learn, and track their activity.  Jenn shares a little about the type of community you'll find in the app, as well as functionality, why it was started, and their partnerships with Garmin and National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF).

If you’re a hunter, without even knowing it, you’re contributing to conservation. Each year, equipment, ammunition, licenses, tags and fees that are purchased in order to hunt contribute to conservation efforts. Sportsmen and women have contributed more than $14 billion to conservation since 1937. In this episode, Allison Rauscher joins the show to discuss how hunting is conservation and how to get involved in local conservation chapters.
