Sportsmen's Empire - Turkey Hunting

This week you are blessed to have Paul and Andrew discuss a few topics from around the state and the industry. To start the guys recap the opening weekend around the state of Ohio, in regards to turkey harvests. There were 4,078 birds harvested on the opening weekend around Ohio which is up from 2022 and the 3 year average. Great job people!!

The guys talk about their trip to the woods last weekend, that was unsuccessful, and very wet, but still a good time in the woods nonetheless. Looking forward to more nice days ahead and hopefully a gobblin Tom or two!

The meat of the show this week comes from an interview that Paul did with our friends at the Okayest Hunter. Paul misspoke and the evil social media world decided to descend on him like a swarm of locusts. Keep in mind, that we aren’t perfect, no body is, so chill out a little bit. Good talk and discussion about Turkeys isn’t supposed to lead to world war 3.

Have a great week and enjoy the O2 if you get out into Ohio’s great Outdoors!

In this episode of the Wisconsin Sportsman Podcast, Josh and Pierce discuss the ups, downs, and eventual success of Josh's recent Iowa turkey hunt.

Josh had a Period A tag for Wisconsin this year, and as luck would have it, some season 2 tags in Iowa were available that just so happened to be good for April 14-18. So Josh scooped up an Iowa tag anticipating a pretty vanilla hunt in the land of the giants. But the hunt was totally not what Josh expected.

Josh faced intense hunting pressure, wild weather, and stubborn property line birds, but was eventually able to accomplish his long standing goal of killing a turkey in the snow. Tune in to hear the full story and how Josh rolled with the punches to make it happen!

This week on the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch sits down with Jason Miller from JMiller Custom Calls. You're in for a good ol' fashion B.S. session swapping stories and pulling takeaways for the upcoming season. Jason is a diehard turkey hunter who continues a streak since the 90s of filling a tag in the Keystone state. Jason is extremely persistent, scouting constantly. Nearly every morning leading up to opening day and throughout the season Jason is up watching and listening to what the birds are doing in his area. Then, the plan is simple - be aggressive and get as close as possible without spooking!

With this insane passion for turkey hunting, Jason has begun cutting his own mouth calls. What started out as a hobby to pass the time simply to fine tune the sound he likes, has now turned into selling these calls for a little more turkey hunting opportunity. Jason discusses this journey and relates back to many of the experiences he has had since beginning this call making journey. Jason's passion is contagious- you should be ready to chase those thunder chickens after this episode! You can reach out to Jason for more information on his turkey calls through Instagram@jmillercustomcalls. #radixhunting #huntworth #vitalizeseed

Repeat guest to the show, this week Mark Wiley is getting us that twas the night before Christmas feel good mood going with a discussion of the Ohio turkey scene. Mark works as the state upland bird biologist, and has spent his career studying and monitoring the birds of Ohio. With Turkey season opening in just a few short hours, Mark was gracious enough to answer some lingering questions about the current status of the flock in Ohio.

Paul is returning from another southern turkey trip, but this time empty handed. He was lucky enough to spend sometime in Alabama with Mike Pentecost and others chasing birds through the hills. Andrew did spend a night out in the fields watching for coyotes, but was unsuccessful on that front. However, he was able to catch sight of a bobcat moseying through the fields. Dan Johnson killed a turkey. Nothing else to see here.

Have a great week and enjoy the O2 if you get out into Ohio’s great Outdoors!

John had a heck of a trip to Nebraska to visit his sister and chase Merriam turkeys. On this week's uncut episode of the Oklahoma Outdoors podcast, John talks about the many times he got caughtby gobblers with his pants down, multiple close calls, and how distracting all the deer sign was. It is almost hard to believe he didn't fillhis tag after situations like walking up on birds midday, turkeys gobbling when he didn't have his bow, and even calling a long beard to 10 steps! He really has nothing to blame but himself.

Even after all the mishaps, it was still an incredible trip. He got to do a lot of scouting for both turkeys and deer, and got permission on yet another property for this fall. John also got to see the effects of EHD for himself, finding multipledeadheads while walking aroundscouting. It is trulyincredible how diverse whitetails and turkeys are and all the places they can thrive, even when it seems the cards are stacked against them.

Deer hunting or turkey hunting, what's your favorite? For many of us, deer hunting is our first love. There's nothing like a crisp November morning in the stand, blind, or saddle to get the blood flowing. But for the hunter looking to broaden his horizons, there are tons of opportunities out there. While there are a wide variety of species to chase come fall and winter, there aren't very many seasons open as the temps warm up and the days grow longer. Enter spring turkey hunting. An absolute blast in its own right, turkey hunting is certainly a different ballgame than hunting whitetails. But what if I told you the spring turkey hunting can also make you a better deer hunter?

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, Josh and Pierce discuss ways that hunting spring gobblers can help you be a better deer hunter next fall. The guys discuss gear, terrain features, strategy, and talk a little about their upcoming hunt for turkey in WI. Enjoy!
