In the first segment of the show, Billy and Matt discuss new releases available on the Turkey Hunting USA website, including the second cut from the Grand Slam Series, "The Split-V." 

Segment two features our first guest on the Turkey Hunting USA Podcast, Nate Backus.  Nate has currently completed 51 Grand Slams! Nate might be a ghost to most people, but our very own, Billy Barnett, met Nate in Florida in 2016, while Billy was chasing his own Grand Slam. Since then the two have kept in touch and become good friends. 

Nate was born in West Virginia. Nate's family moved to Arkansas in 1971 and that is where Nate began his turkey hunting career. His mother bought him his first turkey call, a box call, at the age of 14. Nate was able to harvest 10 Grand Slams with the call. After joining the service in 1978, Nate served for four years in the military and later moved to South Carolina, where he eventually killed his first turkey in 1983. Nate accomplished his first Grand Slam in 2022, and the rest is history from there.

Nate also assists us with this week's "state spotlight," Florida. Learn the rules, regulations and first-hand experiences from "The Sunshine State."

Nate is an entertaining person with a lot of great stories and a ton of knowledge. We hope that you enjoy the show!
