On This episode of the How to Hunt Turkeys Podcast Paul Campbell makes a guest hosting appearance. Jase and his family are spending time this week celebrating a HUGE life accomplishment and asked Paul to stop by and say hi! The guest of the show is Mr. Hunt Club, Phillip Cullpepper Jr. making his second appearance on the H2HT show. Paul and Phillip talk about mindset before, during and after the turkey hunting season, and how to stay motivated. They also discuss the boring topic of bow hunting Whitetails....Just kidding that's not boring! It was great to be back for an episode!!!
In this episode of the How to Hunt Turkey podcast, I discuss six golden rules of turkey hunting. I share some personal stories and experiences related to each rule that will hopefully provide valuable insights and tips for turkey hunters. The rules include not stocking straight at turkeys, having a good shot sequence, paying attention to all turkey behavior, looking for sign and scouting, getting gear organized, and learning calls. These rules apply not only to turkey hunting but also to deer hunting and other outdoor pursuits.
On this episode, Jase Greer and Nick Otto discuss various ways to prepare and cook wild turkey. They cover topics such as plucking vs skinning the bird, gutting techniques, and utilizing the organs. They also explore cooking methods for the legs and thighs, including slow cooking and sous vide. The conversation provides practical tips and ideas for making the most out of a wild turkey harvest. They also discuss the versatility of turkey meat, batch cooking, making stock, and cooking turkey breasts. Nick shares his expertise on butchering and cooking wild game, emphasizing the importance of using every part of the animal and making the most out of the harvest. The conversation is filled with practical tips and insights for hunters and home cooks.
In this episode, I share the story of the last time I shot a Jake during turkey season. I also reflect on my journey as a turkey hunter and the lessons I have learned along the way. I talk about the importance of living in the moment and not judging a season based on a small sample size. I also discuss my experience with buying a new shotgun, the importance of knowing how your shotgun shoots and being confident in your pattern. I also recap getting permission to hunt a new piece of land, how hard that can be and how amazing it is to get new land to hunt. I had a great time reliving the highs and lows of these turkey hunts and the great memories I have from that season! It's a great reminder that hunting is more than the goal, it's about the memories and experiences we would never get doing anything else!
This week we are continuing our mini series telling the stories that happened to our guests after they were on the podcast. I am joined by Damien Nissley as he shares a story about his spring turkey that involved trying to stalk up on a turkey, and eventually having to call the turkey away from his own decoy! I also share a few stories of mine from the past about a variety of hunts. For instance there was the time I tried to out call a couple of hens to get a strutting gobbler to my decoy, only to later learn that my decoy was probably facing the wrong way. Or the time I was unprepared for a Tom to come in so fast and I didn't have my gun up so I ended up missing the bird three times instead. I also talk about the time I woke up from a nap to find three toms about 100 yards away and how I tried to sneak up on them. On top of all that I recap one of my Canadian fishing trips from this year where, one at a time, every motor on the boat stopped working and we had to paddle to shore. With turkey season far in the rearview mirror I find that the best thing to do is to reminisce on past hunts and plan for the future. So I hope that wherever you are or whatever you're up to you can take a trip down memory lane along with me and Damien this week!
Today I am breaking down some of the best tips given on the podcast this past spring but with a twist. I'm going to be applying them to deer hunting as well as turkey hunting. Now I know they are different beasts for sure, but that doesn't mean that they don't overlap. I start off talking about some of the things I love about turkey hunting that you don't get away with as easily with deer hunting, such as, scent controll is not a problem, getting to move around a lot is great, and calling and listening for calling really adds an interactive aspect that you don't always deer when hunting deer. Of course there are so many things deer hunting has taught me that help me as a turkey hunter such as, reading an animals body language, looking for sign and how to be patient. So in this episode I break down a ton of important things I've learned this turkey season that I'm going to be using this turkey season. I'm going to be using more realism in my calling. I'm also going to be positioning myself differently for my calling sequences. I'm going to be working on my mindset, putting the time in that I need to to be successful and not only that but keeping my mind sharp as well. I'll be working on patience, mastering target panic and being generous with my hunting season. I absolutely plan to check out some public land and I'm going to be going after new permissions as well. It seems there is no shortage of Turkey tactics for deer hunting and if we continue to lock in these ideas throughout all hunting disciplines were well on our way to being a better hunter!
On this episode I am joined again by Paul Campbell and he shares the story of a beautiful Merriam's turkey hunt he went on this season. This is the first instalment of a sort of mini series I am doing where I get a chance to catch up with all the turkey hunting masters I have gotten to talk with this season and I get to hear the stories I missed out on because they happened after I interviewed them. This story has it all. Friendship, unexpected hunts, brand new calls calling in fired up Tom's, and a whole lot more. You'll hear how Paul had a chance at a Merriam's turkey only to send a shot over his head and watch the turkey fly down a cliff. You'll hear how Paul was able to overcome the urge to follow the turkey right off the cliff and capitalize on a later encounter. In the pre show I talk briefly about my recent trip to Canada and how I got a chance to walleye fish on lake Erie. One thing is for sure. There is nothing like the story of a great turkey hunt to help me through the doldrums of the off season and to help me through until the spring time revives the woods once again. Until then we have these awesome memories of spring thunder, friends and experiences. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it!
This week I'm joined by my dad, John Greer for a walk down memory lane, discussing past hunting stories. My dad didn't do a ton of turkey hunting growing up so we learned a lot together and always enjoy our time in the turkey woods. Dad also shares a story from his early turkey hunting days that really puts some things into perspective. Topics include: Hunter safety, learning to turkey hunt, mistaking crow sounds for turkeys, Canadian Geese chasing gobblers, calling turkeys across a creek and how easily a turkey can hide in an open field.
Returning to the podcast this week is none other than Frank Alan Stie. Fresh off a 5 state turkey tour and riding high off the release of his new book "From Blue Ridge Mountain Boy To Sooner Slayer: A Perspective on Hunting, Fishing, Family and Friends" we have a fantastic conversation that covers a multitude of topics. With as much experience hunting turkeys and living life as Alan has, you never know what nuggets of wisdom you'll hear! Topics Include: Using gobbling jakes to call in Toms, Hunting college educated birds in Mississippi and Virginia, Hunting too hard, Falling in the mud, Mixing briar patches and inflatable decoys.
Today I'm joined by Zach Vucurevich of Whetstone Habitat. He is a habitat management consultant, enemy of all invasive species, friend of grasslands and super knowledgeable guy. His passion for creating good habitat is match only with his ability to communicate and inspire people to do this good work. So much great info and inspiration in this episode, I know you'll love it! Topics include: Summer time management, Predators, Disturbance, big picture management, nesting vs brooding habitat, finding good habitat on public land and how to find what your property needs.
On this episode of The Nomadic Outdoorsman, Dan talks with Ben Cole about his passion for waterfowl, turkey and being in God’s creation.

On this episode I am joined by my wife Caroline Greer. While she may not be a turkey hunter she is married to one and we have a great conversation about teamwork, marriage and turkey hunting. Caroline grew up in Ontario and had family members who hunted so she is no stranger to it although she doesn't hunt much herself. She has, however been exposed to all sorts of hunting and fishing related things. From her husband bringing home turkeys to stingray she finds a way to not only be ok with it all but also encourage it! This is one you'll want to sit down with your spouse and listen to. Topics include: Wild game cleaning protocols, the wonders of vacuum sealing, being where you are, appreciating what you have, and hunting unselfishly.
This week I am joined by Sam Soholt. Sam is a photographer, videographer, the co-owner and founder of public land tees as well as the co-host of the Roost podcast. Sam had a wild turkey season this year and I couldn't wait to get him on the podcast to talk about it. From Texas to Idaho and several points in between he talks about things he learned this year and shares a bunch of great stories and tips, I know you'll enjoy this episode! Topics include: Remodeling during turkey season, dealing with a drought in Texas, using outside the box calling to get a nemesis bird in range, tag logistics when traveling to hunt and planning for next turkey season.
On this episode I dive into the nitty gritty of my season. I think one of the most helpful things you can do after Turkey season is evaluate what you did right as well as what you did wrong. It helps you get locked in on what you need to be doing in the off season as well as what you need to practice and what gear needs changed or modified. My hope with this episode is that it will help you evaluate your season and make good choices for your next season! Topics include: Scheduling for turkey season, practicing your turkey calling, getting new hunting permissions, scouting public land, using Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist in the off season to your benefit, getting your video equipment dialed and planning ahead for out of state hunts.
This week I am joined by Bjorn Wilkerson. Bjorn tagged out on public land in Missouri this year which is no easy feat! He is also a great deer hunter and bow fisherman. He has lots of experience with these public land birds and this episode is full of great advice and stories. Topics include: Why hunt public land, finding overlooked spots, calling in public land turkeys without decoys, how to check a field without being seen, and why resilience will take you farther than anything else.

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch is joined by good friend Jason Miller from JMiller Custom Calls. Between Mitch, Jason, and their hunting buddies, a lot of successful turkey hunts unfolded in multiple states. This season was one that just seemed to always work out in favor of the hunter. We discuss the hunts that transpired in April during New Jersey and Maryland's opening week of season, and lead into the Pennsylvania season. Both Mitch and Jason harvested a turkey in PA on the first two days of the season. From there, each of them were able to travel all throughout the state of PA and find more turkeys. We discuss how the location, hunting pressures, and time of season all influenced the decisions made during the hunt. The guys refer to some of the different turkey calls that Jason makes used in these hunts. Jason's calls have played a major role in the success in these hunts. Make sure you are on the lookout for the new website JMillerCustomCalls.com and get your calls for next season!
This week I am joined by Dink Watson. He is a first generation Louisiana turkey hunter who started hunting turkeys over 40 years ago. Since his first bird at 12 Dink has killed turkeys in 31 states, Mexico and New Zealand. We had an incredible conversation full of the great advice and entertaining stories you'd expect from such a veteran turkey hunter! Topics include: Tactics for subordinate toms, learning to turkey hunt in all types of terrain, ocellated turkeys, Hawaii Rios, New Zealand Merriam's, and how Tony Chachere's, a deep fryer and some flour changed how a whole New Zealand town cooked.
On this episode I'm joined by Jeremy Koerber of "Fit To Hunt" Jeremey grew up with a passion for the outdoors and fitness, one day while he was watching a hunting show he was struck with the idea of combining his two passions and from that passion "Fit To Hunt" was born. I had a great time talking with Jeremy about the correlations of hunting and fitness and how much a good exercise program and the mental discipline that goes with it can make you a better hunter. Topics include: The start of "Fit To Hunt", How fitness teaches you mental strength and patience, hunting Rios in Texas, Chasing one bird all day and finally sealing the deal, and traveling to turkey hunt.
As quickly as it arrived, turkey season is almost gone! These six weeks never seem to last long enough, even though it might seem like time is dragging when you find yourself sitting in a silent woods, just praying to hear a gobble in your direction. Hopefully none of you found yourselves in that situation (for long at least) this spring, but with one week left to go, it's a sprint to the finish in the turkey woods. This week, Pierce is joined for a second time by Drew Schleim, host of The Predator Podcast, and although Drew is a big time coyote killer, no turkey is safe from him either! The guys share stories from this spring including an hours-old story of Pierce tagging a bird with minutes to go in his hunt, and Drew helping others fill their tags while also filling multiple tags of his own here in Wisconsin and also South Dakota! Drew shares some stories and lessons learned from his time in South Dakota, how he managed to kill his first two Merriam's turkeys, and also shares some fantastic tips for punching a late season tag here in the badger state. It's a great conversation that will leave you itching to get out in the turkey woods one last time! Go check out Drew's turkey hunts on YouTube on the Sundown Outdoors Channel, listen in on the great predator hunting episodes he's putting out over at The Predator Podcast, and follow along with his adventures on Instagram @predatorpodcast_drew
For this week's episode of Michigan Wild we have returning guest Tony Fellows. Nate and Tony dive into his first turkey kill. Tony was able to connect on his first turkey on his second season chasing them. Even after struggling the first fews weeks of the season Tony remained persistent and kept after them. Tony explains some of the differences between this spring verse last spring and how he enjoyed the process of filling his tag. After talking about some of the gear used and ways to prepare the wild turkey the guys shift their focus onto fishing. Nate recently acquired a boat and found himself in need of some updated fishing gear, especially a fly rod. Tony and Nate get into a discussion of the different gear and certain combo kits available for people starting out. All things very relatable for people wanting to start fishing or maybe getting back into it like Nate. Rounding out the episode Tony opens up about his plans to start guiding. Something he has desired to do for quite some time. He really enjoys helping others get into fly fishing and looks forward to getting started later this year.

On this episode I talk to Scott Ellis, a turkey hunting veteran of several years who has won more calling championships and shot more turkeys than you can shake a stick at! He is a welth of knowledge on not only what to do but also when and why. It's a very well rounded episode with advice for all levels of turkey hunter and I know you'll enjoy it and learn something along the way! Topics include: When to move and when to stay, slipping and calling vs running and gunning, what to say with your calls and how to say it, turkey sign scouting 101, advanced locater call tactics and blind calling.
On this week's episode Mitch is joined by good friend and hunting partner Earl Thomas. Earl is one of the most passionate turkey hunters Mitch knows, and annually sets out to hunt in multiple states on what has been dubbed the "Redneck Turkey Tour." Earl has been fortunate to tag a handful of gobblers already this spring and still has a few hunts left. Every hunter's experiences lead them to hypothesize and act a certain way while pursuing game. This has led to many coffee shop conversations such as, does weather impact turkey gobbling? What about the barometer? Are we hunting spring gobblers in Pennsylvania too late? While we don't directly answer those questions, Earl's experience is food for thought. Turkeys are wild animals, and their brains are much different from humans - they are "finicky" birds! We may never figure out what makes them do what they do, but persistence and determination go a long way. This is one of the many reasons why Earl is sending pictures of him with turkeys at any given point throughout March, April, or May. Enjoy the perspective and experience from this wise ol' bird!

This week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, John is headed back to Nebraska to chase merriam's turkeys. John hunted Nebraska in the spring of 2023, but was so sidetracked by scouting for deer on the new landscape that he didn't take turkey hunting near as seriously as he should have. Heading into the trip this year though, John had a completely different mindset. He was determined to bring home a merriams, which would be his third of the four subspecies of wild turkey. This trip brought plenty of challenges, and though John had no problem finding birds, getting one into shotgun range proved more challenging than he expected. Like many western animals, the merriams he was chasing seemed to have no predictable pattern. Simply traveling wherever the wind blew them on any particular day. After three long days and a few disappointments, John finally caught up to a small group of strutters on the last day. However, even with a long beard at fifteen yards, John found out it's never easy!
