Speak the Language Podcast

The time to talk turkey hunting is officially here! Jordan and I wanted to kickoff this years turkey episodes in style, and bring y'all some interesting topics right out the gate. We talk about our biggest takeaways from last spring, some of our plans for the upcoming season, and a small glimpse into some upcoming podcast episodes I think y'all will be VERY happy about! 

Troy and I found ourselves sitting inside the Kudzu Bluff camp house watching the rain and discussing the final week of the 2020/2021 deer season. Lessons learned, questions asked, and the little planning we have left to do for these final few days to be spent in tree stands and Double Bulls. We might have even slipped an old turkey story or two in there because we can't help but be thinking about spring already. 

Myself and Jordan are wading through our thoughts of what we can do to find success in these last few remaining days of deer season. We discuss tactics that have worked for us in late season in the past, and also talk about what we have learned from our first year of hunting at Kudzu Bluff. 

Snow is falling at Kudzu Bluff and Troy, Jordan, and myself are trying to catch up on all thats been going on between the Bluffs and Togo Island. We talk about post-rut and late season tactics, the benefits of using climbing stands, Jordan's need for some rifle shooting lessons, and the value of a good set of deer tracking dogs. 

From the hills of Kudzu Bluff to the Mississippi River Bottoms, we were treated to some of most fun rut hunts we've ever had. So much has happened in these past weeks; Brad came to full draw before he even had a chance to climb a tree, Jimmy Grunted in a buck off the ground, and Lake had a hot doe run towards him with 8 bucks chasing her! It was wild! Tune in and hear these in full detail! 

I had the unique opportunity to spend a duck hunting morning with my good friend, B.C Rogers, of Wren & Ivy. B.C is one of the most duck hunting-crazed people that I have ever been around, so I thought would be the perfect chance to have a conversation about it. Subjects discussed include; getting ducks to finish on foggy mornings, the correct way to pronounce "6pointszn", measuring success in a social media-driven society, and much more. 

After the first full-hunting week at Kudzu Bluff we have hit another problem. After an unexpected, positive Covid-19 test, Jordan is stuck at on quarantine until further notice. Leaving the rest of us up at the bluffs one team member down, and Jordan left to his own devices. Other subjects covered include: the signs of rut kicking off at the new camp, Brad Killing his first deer of the year, Lake having a shooter buck get past him, and poor Jimmy rolling into camp after the activity had slowed down. 

The Hunting Public is arguably the most exciting thing happening in the hunting video world right now, and they have recently taken the excitement factor even farther by bow hunting off the ground. This week we are diving in deep to this subject with THP's own, Zach Ferenbaugh, who has made the decision to hunt exclusively from the ground this season. We cover tactics, how he picks areas to setup, the contrast between ground hunting and tree stand hunting, as well as the new challenges that come along with it! 

Brad and I are at the tail end of an archery hunt in Kansas and facing adverse conditions. We talk about deer activity, moving stands, how to deal with locked down bucks, calling tactics, and the best ways to manage time spent in the stand. 

Gary and Charlie of Muscadine Bloodline Traveled down to spend the weekend hunting with Jordan and Lake. Despite not having favorable weather, there were multiple arrows flung and good times had. Other topics covered include sketchy Maine motels, thrift store hunting hats, Jordan and Gary's Father's Day photo, Charlie's first archery hunting experience, and much more. Check it out!
