My plan is to bring you interviews with each of the candidates who are running for the board this year.
Listen in and learn more about Sherry Crumley and Robert "Doc" Dettmer and hear a couple of good turkey hunting stories as well.

3 Random Turkey Hunting Topics
This week, I have another episode of Turkey Mulligan Stew for you. This is just a hodge podge of random turkey hunting topics taken from suggestions from you, the listeners.
This week, I talk about turkey shotguns. More specifically, I talk about black shotguns vs camo shotguns, barrel length, and 3" chambers vs 3.5" chambers.
I also discuss modifications and customizations we can make to our turkey hunting decoys. From painting or repainting them to butchering them and making our own modified version of what we want a turkey decoy to look like.
In addition to these topics, I also discuss portable ground blinds for running and gunning turkey hunting. I mention several different manufacturers of these blinds and talk about the pros and cons of them as well.

Budget Friendly Out of State Turkey Hunts
This week, I'm discussing budget friendly out of state turkey hunts. This topic was suggested by Matt Wood some time back, and I hate that I haven't talked about it until now.
We are talking about budget friendly out of state turkey hunts. Mainly, the travel, license, lodging, and food part of those hunts.
Listen in as I offer some suggestions on ways that we can save money when traveling out of state in pursuit of extended turkey hunting seasons, Grand Slams, or Super Slams.

Turkey Mulligan Stew
This week, I discuss a couple of show topic suggestions made by longtime listener to the show, Joe Kosalko.
These topics are, by themselves, not long enough to make an entire episode on their own. But, by combining more than one of the topics into one episode, there is plenty to cover in a weekly episode.
So, this week, I'm talking about how to safely and practically circle a Tom that is uncooperative. I also am talking about things that we can do to minimize our presence on the turkeys that we hunt while in the woods.
This is a turkey mulligan stew. Listen in! I hope you enjoy it!

Dissecting a Wingbone Caller with Mark Sharpe
In this week's episode, I interview Mark Sharpe about wingbone turkey callers.
Wingbone callers have been around for hundreds of years, and making a wingbone caller is quite easy. Making a great sounding and very realistic wingbone caller is much more difficult.
Mark Sharpe has mastered the art of wingbone turkey caller making. Not only do his callers sound great and realistic, but they are beautiful as well.
In this interview, we talk about what makes a wingbone turkey caller such a great tool to have in our turkey hunting vests, 2 bone and 3 bone callers, hen bones vs gobbler bones, and how to choose good bones to use for making wingbone callers.
