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.

April 06 Bonus Episode- Everything Else I Know About Turkey Hunting
Send Travis a Text Message
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!
