  • Michigan Wild - Deer, Turkey & Hunting Dogs

    On this episode of Michigan Wild, Nate sits down with Jeff Burnett for a great conversation about hunting in the South, taxidermy, turkey and whitetail hunting, and the role of hunting dogs.

He discusses the journey of starting his business and the artistry involved in preserving trophies for hunters.

    The conversation also dives into the world of hunting dogs and how they can be game-changers in the field. Jeff and Nate share stories about their experiences and how dogs enhance the hunting experience, helping others enjoy the outdoors in new ways.

    To wrap up, the guys talk about their excitement for the upcoming turkey season, potential out-of-state hunts, and personal hunting goals for the year ahead.
