Episode number 10 features not one, but two guests! Dent Stallworth and his fiance, Allie Black. Dent and Allie are from Alabama and the two of them travel the country together with their dog, "Girl," and their pull-behind camper. The two of them are more-less able to continue with their daily lives while on the road and living from their camper once they reach a destination. 

We begin by discussing how Dent and Allie are able to go about traveling together throughout most of the spring turkey season. Dent (25 years old) is an avid turkey hunter and Allie is along for the ride getting an opportunity to hunt whenever she can, but serves mostly as Dent's supporter. Allie also tries videoing and documenting their adventures for their Instagram account, Hunter and Hoops.

Dent's turkey hunting passion and knowledge has earned him a turkey in 47 states entering the 2023 turkey season, just 2 states shy of a US Super Slam. Dent isn't the only one looking forward to this season. Allie is an Osceola turkey away from her first Grand Slam!

Part 2 of our interview with Kenny Mount, aka "Chubb's." Kenny was such a great guest we divided his interview into two parts. If you haven't listened to E5 - Part 1, be sure to do that first.

This episode picks right back up where we left it in part 1. Kenny discusses his opinion on the negativity in turkey hunting where certain methods are being criticized. We also discuss Kenny's non-involvement with social media, and end the show covering the state of Alabama turkey season.

Enjoy the show and we would appreciate a rating and review from our guests.

This week's show features a guest that is very well known, but also chooses to stay "Off-The-Grid" for the most part. Kenny Mount, better known to most as "Chubb's," joins us on this week's show. Kenny has appeared on Dave Owens' hunting channel, "The Pinhoti Project," on several occasions. 

Kenny began turkey hunting a little differently than most hunters and he tells his story from the beginning. Kenny also talks about his pursuit of the US Super Slam and shares some advice that helped him along the way.  

We enjoy some good laughs, but also get serious when asked about some of the hot topics in today's turkey hunting world. You don't want to miss this one. Thank you for listening.
