476 - Get Off of My Lawn with Kenny Mount - Part 2

Get Off of My Lawn with Kenny Mount - Part 2

 Join us for part 2 of the interview with Kenny Mount this week. 

Kenny, Cameron, and Andy really sound like 3 grumpy old men sitting around the local gas station at 5 AM complaining about the youngsters in the neighborhood. Maybe it is part jealousy on Kenny's and Andy's part because they didn't have all of the amazing tools that today's younger hunters have when it comes to turkey hunting.

Kenny brings it again this week, and you'll really enjoy this episode of turkey talk with Kenny Mount. Listen in!

Get Off of My Lawn - Part 1

HE'S BAAAACCCCKKKKKK!

This week, Cameron and Andy have part 1 of their most recent interview with Kenny Mount, aka Chubbs.

Kenny is always an entertaining guest to have on the show, and this episode is no different. Not only is there a great deal of turkey talk and laughs, but we even get to discuss banana pudding and nilla wafers. We all get down a few rabbit holes in this interview, but that is part of what makes Kenny's interviews so fun and popular.

473 - Talking with a Turkey Calling Champion with Matt Van Cise

Talking with a Turkey Calling Champion with Matt Van Cise

 This week, Matt Van Cise joins Cameron and Andy on the show for a full interview for the first time ever. 

Be sure to catch the Rapid Fire Q&A. We actually discuss more turkey hunting than we do competitive turkey calling. Matt tells us what he listens to for his inspiration while practicing his turkey calling.

Matt delves into the differences between competition calling and calling while hunting. His description of the difference is pretty interesting.

This is a great episode. Listen in!

 

472 - Tube Calling with Mark Prudhomme and Harold Knight

Tube Calling with Mark Prudhomme and Harold Knight

This week Cameron and Andy share the Tube Calling seminar that Harold Knight and Mark Prudhomme put on at the 2024 Unicoi Turkey Callmakers Show in Helen, GA in January.

This show features two turkey calling legends and some great tips about how each of them uses the very versatile tube call while turkey hunting. From impersonating male and female wild turkey calls to making shock calls to induce a gobble, a tube call can do it all (and as both of these guys can display, a tube can do them all well).

This is a very entertaining and informative episode, that we think you will enjoy a great deal. Listen in!

471 - All Things Wild Turkey with Dr. Grant Woods

All Things Wild Turkey with Dr. Grant Woods

 In this week's episode, Dr. Grant Woods joins Cameron and Andy to discuss all things wild turkey. We talked about how the frigid temps experienced a few weeks ago might affect the young and old turkeys. And, we talked about how we can sometimes do more harm than good when we begin a supplemental feeding program for wildlife and introduce foods to them that they are not used to eating at that time.

Grant also shares how small tract landowners can best manage those tracts for wild turkeys. He talks a little history about hunting for sustenance and some trapper journal information about wild turkey populations in the late 1800's and early 1900's.

Grant talks a little about the importance of those first two weeks of a poult's life and what we can provide those poults to boost their odds of survival.

This is another great episode with a phenomenal resource about our wild turkeys. Listen in!

470 - 2024 Unicoi Recap Show

2024 Unicoi Recap Show

This week, Andy shares the audio of the interviews from this year's Unicoi Custom Turkey Call Maker's Show held in January of 2024 at Unicoi State Park outside of Helen, GA.

This call maker's show features some of the best custom call makers in the country, and it is an amazing place to go and put your hands on hundreds of turkey calls and learn from the call makers themselves. It is also a place to pick up some great artwork, books, turkey call cases and turkey totes, and knives, as well. For the turkey call collector, there are even displays where you can pick up and run some very old and unique turkey calls that collectors have on display.

The show in Unicoi is a can't miss event for all turkey hunters, and this year's show was no different. Andy plays great interviews with attendees as well as Josh Painter, who is now one of the guys putting the show together each year. Donny Richards and Cathy Champion also join Andy for interviews as well.

Scattered throughout the highlights of the show, Andy shares sound files from the call makers that he bought calls from. These calls are amazing in the woods, and we don't think the turkeys stand a chance. See the list of call makers featured in this episode and their contact information listed below.

467 - Turkey Talk with Walter Parrott

Turkey Talk with Walter Parrott

This week, Cameron and Andy have a first for you guys. Walter Parrott joins the show to talk turkey.

Walter shares his introduction to turkey hunting and competitive calling as well. He shares how he got hooked up with Knight and Hale to be on their pro staff and do some filming for them in their early years of business. 

Walter eagerly joined in on the rapid fire Q&A, which led to some great follow up questions and answers.

He also talks about his observations of the turkey population in his home state of Missouri. Walter also shares how important it is to sit in one spot in the woods long enough for a turkey to approach rather than "run and gun". He also shares how important it is for us hunters to just slow down while we are in the turkey woods.

This episode is part one of a 2 part episode, and one you do now want to miss. Listen in!
