Brandon and I sit down with Josh Kettl. A local longtime hunter and Turkey call maker. Heres a little bio from Josh himself:

"I’ve been hunting locally for about 20 years. I’ve been fortunate enough to harvest quite a few good San Diego bucks with both bow and rifle. One of which was the 4x8 that fish and game tried to site me for after I did nothing wrong. I’ve also been fortunate enough to harvest somewhere around 50 turkeys in SoCal and a few hundred ducks and geese. For the past 6 years I’ve been working as a firefighter and making turkey calls on the side. My life in a nutshell haha"
