Hunting Early Season Easterns in the Hardwoods | Calling a Pair of Gobblers Downhill
Listen now
Description
Have you ever sat in the stillness of an early season morning, as an eastern's gobble echoes through the hardwoods? It's a feeling that never grows old to turkey hunters. We're bringing that experience straight to your ears, sharing the tactics, laughs, and heart-pounding moments from one of our latest turkey hunting adventures in north Georgia. Turkey hunting is much more than just a sport; it's a dance with nature where every step counts. In this conversation, we navigate the varied landscapes of private and public lands, illustrating how the subtlest decisions can tilt the odds in our favor—or send us home with only stories to tell.  Together, we dissect the intricacies of turkey behavior on hills and flatlands, the impact of weather on our feathered adversaries, and why setting up in the perfect spot sometimes means outsmarting hens and gobblers alike. And for those moments when the unexpected happens, like a wandering deer crashing the party, we share how we adapt and stay silent in the pursuit of the ultimate prize. Wrapping up, we take a moment to reflect on the deep-rooted traditions and community spirit that make turkey hunting an enduring part of our heritage. This episode isn't just about the hunts; it's a tribute to the camaraderie, the anticipation of future outings, and how the legacy of turkey hunting is woven into our very fabric.  Chase and I invite you to join us as we prepare for the NWTF convention and plan our next excursions, including a hopeful jaunt to South Florida. Whether you're an experienced hunter or just love a good story from the great outdoors, we guarantee you'll walk away from this episode feeling part of something much bigger than yourself.
