"It's a damn disease is what it is."  quickly became an iconic quote which nearly all turkey hunters have seen or heard over the years. It was given by an old pro named Redbeard, with the moment captured by today's guest, Nathaniel Maddux, over seven years ago. From the land of Osceolas, Host Hunter Farrior catches a free morning to meet co-host Austin Sills down in Florida for a quick hunt, while hanging out with Pete Muller, Conner Mobley, and Nathaniel Maddux as they film and produce Spring Legion's "Turkey Call" episode for the NWTF series airing this spring. 

In this episode:  

• Hunter finally welcomes the twins into the world.  
• A backstory on the infamous "it's a damn disease" moment.   
• A quick Osceola hunt that will air via NWTF this season.  
• The rich history of "Turkey Call."
