Tight Lipped Gobblers: Navigating the Challenges of Early Season


Listen Later

Hunter and Chase Farrior dive into week two of the 2025 turkey season with stories from the Mississippi woods, discussing strategies for hunting "henned-up" gobblers that are challenging to call in.

• Gobblers are particularly challenging this season, often going silent once they fly down from the roost
• Both hosts notice there seem to be more hens and gobblers than in previous seasons
• Chase shares a successful hunt where being in the perfect spot was more important than calling
• Hunter recounts a missed opportunity when overthinking a shot through potential obstructions
• The challenges of hunting thick cover where turkeys sound farther away than they actually are
• Discussion of red dot sights versus traditional beads and challenges when shooting in thick cover
• Brief mention of Breck's successful turkey hunt with their father
• Interactions with vocal hens can be almost as rewarding as working a gobbler
