Today on the show I tell my 2026 turkey story and how it all played out in dramtic fashion last Thursday. I had only 35 minutes to call in a Tom, before having to go get my kids off a bus. At the last minute the Tom came in and some gametime decisions had to be made. Hope you enjoy and be sure to check out the video on YouTube!

Today Jeremy and I unpack our hunt from last weekend. Jeremy came in to Ohio for his first out of state turkey hunt. Also his first time trying the run n gun style of hunting. We unpack how the hunt went down and how we were able to get one several birds. Shots were fired and we have some stories to share. We also hear about how Jeremy was able to get his first Tom with a bow in Michigan.

Today I’m joined by my daughter Ansley, and we unpack the story of how she was able to get her first Tom turkey during youth season in Ohio. If you’ve followed along, we’ve had three previous seasons where it’s been some close encounters, but not able to seal the deal. Things work out perfectly on Saturday and we got some amazing footage that will be coming out soon on our YouTube channel. She was hyper and excited so this made for a fun retelling of the story.

In episode 111 I shared what I’d learned at that time from each of my turkey harvests…which wasn’t a ton of information. I started in 2014 and have found some success over the years. I’ve had 3 years I ate tag soup and have killed 12 turkeys in that time.  I decided to give a breakdown of lessons learned since that last episode and throw it into a bonus episode. 

I share thoughts on blinds, decoys, shooting Jake’s, e-scouting, and more. Hope this helps in some way!
