How To Hunt Turkey - Post Turkey Season Evaluation

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.

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.

Wisconsin Sportsman - Late Season Turkey Tactics & Success with Drew Schleim

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!

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.

Pennsylvania Woodsman - Redneck Turkey Tour & Chasing 49

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!

Oklahoma Outdoors - My First Merriams

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!

Pennsylvania Woodsman - On the Hunt for a Pennsylvania Grand Slam

This week on the Pennsylvania Woodsman we are joined once again by Jason Goe from Final Stand YouTube channel.  Previously Jason discussed hunting Sika deer in Maryland, this week we unpack the rest of Jason's successful fall of 2023.  Jason was able to harvest a mountain whitetail with a bow, a fall gobbler, and his first Pennsylvania black bear.  In addition to PA and MD Sika deer, he tagged two whitetail bucks with a bow in MD during the archery season.  Talk about a season to remember! We breakdown the timeline and story behind each of these hunts.  Throughout this episode, you'll notice two things consistently - passion for being in the woods and attention to detail.  Jason maximizes his scouting trips as much as possible which paid great rewards this fall.  This is especially apparent in the story of his PA whitetail he harvested on a new piece of public mountain land the first year he stepped foot in it!  We cap off discussing the spring 2024 turkey season where Jason plans to hunt MD and PA, with hopes of completing the PA Grand Slam and continuing his streak of harvesting a PA spring gobbler since the early 2000s. ‍
