May 06 Wingmen EP 160: School of Strut 2.0 Extreme Weather Turkey Hunting Success w/Priester's Pecans
The Ellis family owns and operates Priester's Pecans; a candy and baked goods company which makes mouth-watering pecan treats. Wingmen host Todd Helms shared a turkey camp at Milk River Outfiters with Stinson, Taber and Tyler Ellis and the crew enjoyed their time together so much that they wanted to record a podcast detailing the history of Priester's Pecans, each of the brother's successful turkey hunts and the insights gleaned from hunting turkeys in extreme weather and wild terrain. This episode required some ingenuity to record but it's a banger of a recording and turned out as sweet as the treats Priester's is famous for.
