Another Piney Hills Turkey Hunt

This week, Scott McDonald joins Cameron and Andy on the show to share a turkey hunt he had with Andy in the spring of 2022.

This hunt took place on some thick public ground in a tough southern state, but it turned out to be a productive trip for both Scott and Andy as they doubled on a couple of hard gobbling turkeys right around midday.

These birds came through the thick woods, split up, and eventually got back together about 45 yards in front of Scott and Andy.

It took a lot of patience and trust in their hunting partner to make this hunt a success, but it all paid off as it turned out to be twice as successful as they had hoped.

This is a great hunt that will get you fired up for spring. Listen in!

A Waterlogged Turkey

Cameron shares another turkey hunt with us this week to get us primed and ready to eat some Thanksgiving turkey.

This hunt took place in what is a very common habitat for many of us hunters east of the Mississippi River. This was in a hardwood bottom that, at the time, was flooded. Cameron found some gobbling turkeys in the area. After sloshing through the water to get to them, he setup, called, and soon had his hat blown off by a loud gobbling Eastern wild turkey.

The gobbling in this hunt will get your blood boiling and get you wishing for springtime again.

Creating Better Brood Habitat with Marcus Lashley

This week, Cameron and Andy share part of the Alabama NWTF Field Day seminar where Dr. Marcus Lashley talks about brood habitat.

The general theme of Dr. Lashley's seminar is that as a whole brood habitat is severely lacking across the US. We all already know that having great nesting habitat is essential to having good hatches, but creating great nesting habitat is extremely difficult to do because there is not one particular habitat that hens are likely to nest in. 

According to Dr. Lashley better brood habitat is much easier to create because it has several features that are commonly found in the different areas around the US.

This is an excellent presentation, and we have part 1 of 2 for you this week. There is definitely something to be learned by all of us from this week's show and next week's show.
