On this episode I dive into the nitty gritty of my season. I think one of the most helpful things you can do after Turkey season is evaluate what you did right as well as what you did wrong. It helps you get locked in on what you need to be doing in the off season as well as what you need to practice and what gear needs changed or modified. My hope with this episode is that it will help you evaluate your season and make good choices for your next season! 

Topics include: Scheduling for turkey season, practicing your turkey calling, getting new hunting permissions, scouting public land, using Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist in the off season to your benefit, getting your video equipment dialed and planning ahead for out of state hunts.
