Episode 101 rolls in with Kyle Thompson of Alpine Game Calls, and it’s a good one for anyone who appreciates the roots of turkey hunting and the craftsmanship behind the calls we trust.
Kyle shares how his passion for the outdoors started early, but turkey hunting became something special when he and his dad decided to learn it together from the ground up. That shared journey shaped not only his approach in the woods, but also the way he builds calls today—focused, intentional, and built for real hunters.
We dive into his small-batch diaphragm calls, talking about what separates a quality call from the rest, how he fine-tunes each one, and why consistency and sound realism matter when it’s game time. Living in Florida, Kyle spends his springs chasing the elusive Osceola turkey.
The conversation is packed with practical tips and tricks—from calling setups to reading bird behavior—that can help you punch your tag this season.
If you’re into turkey hunting, call-making, or just appreciate a good story about chasing birds with family, this episode is one you won’t want to miss.
