Sportsmen's Empire - Turkey Hunting

Most people know him for his Whitetail wisdom and expertise, but what some others may not realize is that Beau Martonik is a pretty good turkey hunter as well. Beau’s passion for all things outdoors comes full circle with his spring scouting for deer, that helps in his pursuit of mountain birds. We talk some tactics, but more about the history of turkey hunting in his family. His grandfather’s turkey calls, and what it’s like hunting birds in the big mountains of PA.

Paul is on the pursuit of another turkey, this time down in Alabama. Looking forward to a recap of that hunt when he returns! Andrew’s been hanging out with his neighbor Dolly (deer) that comes over to play with Champ (dog) on these beautiful sunny days. One quick reminder, if you are outside, please be Tick smart! Those jerks are out and about and with the mild winter, you will probably see more this year than in the past.

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

On this Episode of the How to Hunt Turkeys Podcast it’s motivation time with Paul! As Turkey Seasons across the south reach the peak and the northern states slowly start to open, Paul breaks down the toughest opponent many hunters will face in the woods…Yourself. Turkey Season can be a mental test on the new and experienced hunter. Human nature is to form ideas about how we think any event in our lives should go. Nice and easy! Well, sometimes Turkey hunting isn’t like that. Most of the time Turkey hunting ain’t like that kids. When mother nature is beating you down and Turkeys are making a fool out of you…BURN THE BOATS!!! Story time with Paul leads to a couple of irrefutable laws of Turkey hunting. Buckle up folks. Turkey Season is gonna be a wild ride.

This week on Limbhanger, we're talking about when and where might be your best bet when it comes to booking an outfitted turkey hunt. This is important especially when it comes to chasing the 49 state Super Slam. While the majority of our conversations are focused on public land hunting, there are absolutely some scenarios and states where you may want to consider an outfitter, and some that it would be necessary.

Adam gets the opportunity to do some of these hunts through his job and recently came back from a trip to South Texas hunting Rio gobblers. Joey booked an outfitted hunt with Jay Scott for his Goulds hunt in Mexico. As the guys talk through their experiences, they break down some of the good and bad when it comes to this style of hunting.

Josh's turkey hunting road trip (dare we call it a Turkey Tour!?) begins in less than two weeks! Having added an Iowa tag to the list, Josh reached out to the host of the Nine Finger Chronicles Podcast Dan Johnson to talk about planning for out of state hunting trips and what to expect for Iowa.

Dan is no stranger to out of state trips. Each year, Dan hunts a handful of states, including some longer trips out west. With his experience, Dan has a pretty dialed in approach to planning and prepping for hunting trips. So Josh picks Dan's brain about making preparations. The guys also discuss what Josh can expect for an Iowa turkey hunt as far as getting on birds and encountering hunting pressure goes. Josh and Dan also get into scouting for deer on Iowa public land. The sheer amount of sign found in Iowa can be tough for a nonresident to decipher when scouting for whitetails. So Dan shares some advice for helping Josh get started planning his potential 2024 or 2025 Iowa deer hunt.

And since both guys are dads, the conversation eventually devolves into ranting about kids, the woes of working from home during spring break, and Dan's new children's book, "The Volcano Dad." Enjoy!

Turkey hunters in the south are off to the races, chasing gobbling birds through the swamps and pines. Meanwhile, much of the rest of the country waits for the temps to finally warm and the last of the snow to melt, still a couple weeks away from thinking about turkey hunting. But what if there was a way for you to hunt turkeys RIGHT NOW, weeks before the season begins in your state?

In this episode of the Wisconsin Sportsman Podcast, Josh talks with Paul Campbell about extending your turkey season by heading south. Paul is a diehard turkey hunter from Ohio, and he's no stranger to traveling to turkey hunt. This year, he got his earliest start ever, and it resulted in him taking his very first Osceola Turkey. Give this one a listen as the guys discuss turkey hunting stories, tactics, and some tips for those hoping to extend their turkey season.

Welcome to the Limbhanger Turkey Hunting Podcast! This week, we're catching up on turkey season so far. Sharing the stories from Parker & Adam's trip to Florida. Funny enough, our ethics episode from last week had to be put to practice on the opener. You'll definitely want to hear about that!

Aside from that we talk about hunting mentorship, our opinions on some state's regs (based solely on our opinion and not even remotely factual even a little bit), and we also lose our Kentucky listeners this week. It's great. Really! Gobble Gobble.

In this episode of the DIY Sportsman podcast, Garrett discusses what has become his favorite shotgun setup for specifically hunting turkeys. This is a gun he originally purchased for his wife, but after setting it up and making a couple of customizations, Garrett has been using it for all of his hunts as well. In the episode, Garrett breaks down the actual make and model of the gun, the choke setup, after market stock, pistol grips versus standard sporter style grips, sling mounts, and red dots compared to the standard bead sight. He also mentions a couple drawbacks of the concept that could be noteworthy depending on your preference.

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 165 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode Dimitri and I were joined by Clearfield county native Andrew Mills. Andrew is a state trooper and a freaking turkey fanatic! Andrew is the co-owner of Honey Hole Game Calls! Doing episodes in person is always a great time and this was no exception! We cover a good bit in this episode from whitetail, upcoming out of state turkey hunts, to covering the basics for what you should be doing now to prepare for turkey season!

Andrew is an extremely accomplished turkey hunter, from completing the grand slam to trying to complete the US Slam! To begin this episode we dive into quickly who Andrew is and what got him really into hunting for turkey! He also has three daughters from ages 7-10 that are already very accomplished hunters from whitetails, trapping to turkeys. We asked him about getting his girls involved in hunting and transition to his planning process for spring gobbler. From e-scouting, boots on the ground, sign, calling, where he finds success, and then to his thoughts on the PA season timing!

We get into other hunting strategies, and stories throughout the podcast! I am really looking forward to Andrew finding more success this upcoming spring. I really encourage you to check out Honey Hole Game Calls when you are looking to add your next mouth call to your turkey vest! Enjoy this fun episode!

Thanks again for all the support and best of luck out there and Antler Up!
