Gamekeeper Podcast

This week on the Gamekeepers podcast we talk about how Mother Nature is one TOUGH MOTHER. Our guest is Rick from the Nature is Metal Instagram page, and he’s probably seen more intensive nature scenes play out than anyone else on the planet. We talk about how different nature actually is compared to the warm-and-fuzzy Disney type films. Rick tells us about some odd and interesting video clips, including some that were too shocking for him to share on his page. It’s an interesting discussion that you won’t want to miss. Listen, Learn and Enjoy!

On this BONUS podcast we chat with none other than Rob, from Rob Roberts Custom Gun Works! We talk all things turkey guns, including: tight chokes, forcing cones, modern shells, porting, old barrels, trigger work, shot strings, and more. Tight can be too tight, and there is no one-size-fits-all pattern. Rob is truly an expert, and has made a career out of improving shotguns with aftermarket gunsmithing and custom accessories. Most importantly, he provides us all with a few new excuses for the next time we miss a longbeard. Listen, Learn, and Enjoy!

Doc gives out some great advice on hunting public ground and how he has learned to get the most enjoyment out of each hunt. It’s a good one that you don’t want to miss. Listen, Learn, and Enjoy.

This week the Gamekeeper crew enjoys a lively discussion of the Rio Grande subspecies of the wild turkey. Dr. Dwayne Elmore of Oklahoma State University explains habitat, roosting habits, and overall behavior of the lusty, frequently gobbling bird that we all love to chase. We learn why their gobble sounds different and a theory on why they can be hard to kill right off the roost.  Lots of turkey obsessed hunters chase Rios every year and if you don’t, you should consider it. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.
