Beau Brooks Seminar from the 2024 NWTF Convention

This week, Cameron and Andy replay the seminar about hunting western wild turkeys that Beau Brooks put on at the NWTF convention in Nashville.

This is a very informative seminar that I feel like everyone can learn a little something from, especially those of us east of the Mississippi River. Beau is a phenomenal caller and natural voice caller, and the presentation is very entertaining as well.

Results from the TN Delayed Season Start Study

This week, Dr. Craig Harper and Dr. David Beuhler with the University of Tennessee join Cameron and Andy on the show to discuss their recommendations from their 7 year study regarding the effects of delaying the start of turkey seasons and the potential for increase in poult recruitment.

The results of the study showed that moving the start of hunting season to later in the year did not greatly affect the initiation of nesting or the start of incubation for wild turkey hens. Drs Buehler and Harper share the details of the study and upcoming vote to possibly change the start date of the turkey hunting season.

This is a very informative interview with information that can be applicable for any states that are considering moving the start date of their seasons to later in the year.

Get Off of My Lawn with Kenny Mount - Part 2

 Join us for part 2 of the interview with Kenny Mount this week. 

Kenny, Cameron, and Andy really sound like 3 grumpy old men sitting around the local gas station at 5 AM complaining about the youngsters in the neighborhood. Maybe it is part jealousy on Kenny's and Andy's part because they didn't have all of the amazing tools that today's younger hunters have when it comes to turkey hunting.

Kenny brings it again this week, and you'll really enjoy this episode of turkey talk with Kenny Mount. Listen in!
