Season Recap and Turkey Talk with Jeff Budz
This week wild turkey killer extraordinaire and guide, Jeff Budz, joins Cameron and Andy on the show to share how his season went both personally and professionally.
Jeff's passions for the wild turkey and turkey hunting are obvious and show every time he speaks. Jeff shares his thoughts on the direction of the turkey populations in Florida as well as in the western US after the extreme snowfall and frigid temps they had there this past winter.
Jeff is one who loves to push himself to extremes when it comes to turkey hunting, but he stops shy from telling us what his next big turkey hunting goal is. Maybe Cameron and Andy can get that from him the next time Jeff is on the show.
Jeff is always an entertaining guest who is full of information. Listen in!

Turkey Season Turkey Soup
This week, following a week off for a turkey trip, Cameron and Andy share a little turkey soup during turkey season.
Many states are starting to report their harvest and licensing statistics. So, Cameron and Andy share some stats for Ohio, Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Iowa. Overall, so far, many states are reporting excellent harvest statistics. Are these great harvest statistics due to higher turkey populations this year or due to higher hunter efforts and better weather? Well, it is really hard to tell in so many states because they do not know how many turkey hunters they have turkey hunting. So, these states have no clue as to whether there were more turkey hunters in the woods chasing turkeys or some other factor lead to the increase in harvest statistics.
In addition to the harvest stats, Cameron and Andy share the story of a hunter who was shot by his hunting partner, and how at some point he just realized and accepted the fact that he was going to be shot. This is a wild story with some pretty nasty looking pictures showing the wounds. Check them out online.
And, Andy shares two stories of "hunters" who let the dream of a fresh wild turkey in the freezer get the best of them in New York. Thanks to conservation officers enforcing the law, these two hunters were ticketed and had their turkeys confiscated.
This is a fun episode, so listen in!

Daniel shares some of the history behind the artwork on this year's stamp as well as how much money was raised last year with their first wild turkey conservation stamp and where some of that money is going.
In addition to the wild turkey conservation stamp, Daniel shares with us his very recent turkey hunt with Colonel Tom Kelly. This is a great story, and the entire episode is one you won't want to miss.

Patience Pays Off
This week Cameron shares a hunt that is fresh on his mind. The hunt is so fresh it is only a few hours old.
This hunt takes place in a river swamp bottom with a couple of turkeys that Cameron thinks he let walk the day before. This is a great hunt in the respect that not only did patience pay off with Cameron's passing on a shot the day before, but also that he had the patience to sit and wait at his original setup spot while the turkey he set up on before daylight flew down, walked off, paired up with a buddy, and came back into the area Cameron was set up in.
This one is a good hunt to learn from. Listen in!

Taking Quality Harvest Pictures with Clayton Worrell
This week, Clayton Worrell (aka GrizHawk on InstaGram) joins Cameron and Andy to talk about how we can take better quality harvest photos of our turkeys this spring.
Clayton is an amazing wildlife photographer who can capture images of wildlife that convey a feeling or emotion that we think the subject animal could be feeling at that moment in time. His images are truly a work of art.
Clayton shares with us how we should frame our harvest pictures in a way that we can refer back to that photo decades later and remember that hunt and that turkey. He also shares with us the importance of cleaning up our turkey to show respect to the bird and to get the best pictures that we can get to share on social media. These images very often go on social media and convey an image of us and our pastime to non hunters. We should want that image conveyed to be a respectful and powerful one.
This is a great episode, and one you won't want to miss. Listen in!
