This week, Eric sits down with Matt Streim Co-Owner of Weathered Oaks Game Calls to talk about turkey calling tips and tricks, dos and don'ts. We also chat about general turkey hunting strategies and how to apply which calls when. Weathered Oaks Game Calls custom manufactures wooden pot calls and other game calls from wood as well. Matthew is an avid turkey hunter and makes calls he'd use himself in the field, and for a fraction of the price of some of the big-name brands you'd find in big box stores. One of their calls is fully weatherproof and will sound the same soaking wet as it would completely dry.

As hunters, we have a responsibility to new generations of hunters to be good role models. This week, Derek, Greg, and Eric chat with Josh Morrow, AKA the Hunt Critic. What started out as a passionate hunter calling out other hunters on TikTok has become so much more as a way to educate all hunters on various hunting topics ranging from the whitetail community and reverberating all the way to sheep hunting, and even elephant hunting in Africa and even to that pond down the street where geese flock. We talk about things like gatekeeping, ethics, and our responsibility as hunters to do the most good to help ensure our heritage sticks around for generations to come!
