This time of year across the Midwest, sheds start hitting the ground. But what do they actually tell you? In this episode of Whitetail Edge, Ben and Javin break down the real meaning behind shed antlers, how winter food sources and pressure change deer movement, and the biggest mistakes hunters make after finding a big one. From bedding areas and late-season strategy to how cold weather affects bucks going into spring, this is a conversation built around experience in the timber.

In this episode of the How to Hunt Turkey podcast, Dan Johnson and Graham Cronin discuss the excitement surrounding turkey season, the application process for turkey tags in Wisconsin, and the balance between work and hunting. They share insights on post-hunt meals, youth hunting opportunities, and strategies for planning multi-state turkey hunts. The conversation delves into hunting techniques, including calling strategies, the importance of roosting turkeys, and final approaches to closing the distance. They also touch on gear and equipment preferences, along with personal hunting stories and experiences. Takeaways: Graham rates his excitement for turkey season as a 7 to 8. The NWTF convention in Nashville ramps up excitement for turkey hunting. Wisconsin has a unique turkey tag application process. Hunters can buy multiple tags in Wisconsin if available. Balancing work and hunting is crucial during turkey season. Post-hunt meals often include quick and hearty options. Youth turkey hunting opportunities allow kids to use tags throughout the season. Planning multi-state hunts requires careful logistics and timing. Calling techniques vary based on the time of year and turkey behavior. Using a backpack instead of a turkey vest can be more efficient. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Paul Campbell sits down with Alex DeBord of Talk About It Outdoors for a deep dive into the world of turkey calling, competition culture, and the brotherhood that keeps the whole thing alive. Alex breaks down the unwritten rules of the calling world—why you don't touch another man's call bag, how “turkey-killing calls” differ from “race car” competition setups, and why presentation (cadence, pauses, and painting the picture) often matters more than raw sound. They talk about the mental game too: nerves on stage, learning to run the call instead of letting the call run you, and what it really takes to find “your yelp.” The conversation turns personal in the best way—Alex shares the story of what truly hooked him on turkey hunting, watching his son step into the calling world, and how mentors and friendships inside the turkey community can become family. From Grand Nationals qualifying to preseason practice routines, to honoring the legends that built the foundation of modern calling, this one is a masterclass in why turkey hunting and turkey calling mean so much to the people in it. Alex also shares what's ahead for Talk About It Outdoors, the “The Caller” series covering the NWTF calling circuit, and the spirit behind their newly announced call team.

Whether you listen or watch us, make sure you like, listen, subscribe, and leave good feedback. Also, make sure you become a member.A holiday pour tastes better with a story, and this one comes straight from the rickhouse. We welcome industry veteran Gregg Snyder to trace the line from turkey tracks and conservation fields to the barrel floors of Wild Turkey, sharing how an overlooked inventory problem lit the spark for Russell's Reserve and why protecting tradition still matters in a world of shortcuts.We start with the outdoors: the rush of a dawn gobble, how to tell a gobbler's print from a hen's, and why the wild bird's best eating is in the breast. Gregg breaks down simple, crowd-pleasing prep—crispy nuggets, teriyaki kebabs, even a bright, silky piccata—then connects that kitchen craft to the patient arc of bourbon maturation. From Brown‑Forman's cooperage to his tenure running operations at Wild Turkey, he explains the quiet rule that shaped a generation of whiskey: never change how the whiskey is made. No enzyme tricks, no shortcuts—just wood, time, and careful selection.Then we open the vault. Gregg recounts proposing a new bourbon to honor Jimmy Russell—Russell's Reserve—born from aging stock the spreadsheets wouldn't touch. We talk warehouses from Camp Nelson to McBrayer, the effect of elevation and airflow, entry proof shifts, and why Rare Breed's blend-first logic still sings. A guided tasting squares Russell's 13 against 15: caramel-vanilla richness vs oak-forward structure. If you love dessert-like depth, 13 feels like a sweet spot; if you crave tannin and cigar-box edges, 15 scratches that itch. Along the way you'll hear the kind of Jimmy Russell stories that make you smile and pour another ounce.This one blends heritage, practical tasting insights, and the warmth of a Thanksgiving table. If bourbon history, Wild Turkey lore, and smart, no‑nonsense tasting notes are your thing, you'll feel right at home.

It is an exciting time in the NWTF Education and Outreach arena, especially as we continue to grow our programs.  The NWTF's vision has always been to unite a nation through the power of the outdoors, and through talking with NWTF education and outreach staff, one can see how far we've come.  To celebrate National Hunting and Fishing Day for 2025, we sat down with Mandy Harling, National Director of Education & Outreach Programs, Morgan Evan, the National R3 & Relevancy Coordinator and Jennifer Davis, Hunting and Shooting R3 Coordinator for Michigan about what R3 is, the Hunt for Good Campaign, our amazing volunteers and all things hunting heritage. If you're craving an inspiring, feel-good conversation, tune in and enjoy! 

In this episode of the NWTF podcast, we explore what makes the West unique — and why conservation here matters to all of us. The American West is a region of unmatched beauty and opportunity, but also one of incredible complexity. From rugged mountains to sprawling deserts, its vast public lands provide vital wildlife habitat and unparalleled access for hunters, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts. NWTF staffers take us inside the challenges and opportunities of Western conservation, from wildfire and drought to the growing urban–rural divide. Most importantly, we look at how partnerships and people are coming together to ensure that the West's wild places, wildlife, and outdoor traditions remain strong for future generations.

The NWTF has just launched its bold new Roots to Roost Initiative — a groundbreaking, cross-boundary conservation effort set to make a landscape-scale impact across the Midwest.  This initiative bolsters the organization's conservation, policy, and education efforts to increase wild turkey populations and conserve the diverse ecosystems they depend on.    In this episode of the Turkey Call All Access Podcast, we're joined by John Burk and Clayton Lenk, NWTF district biologists; Tyler Rhodes, NWTF National Forestry Initiative forester; and David Gladkowski, NWTF managing editor - web and media. Together, they dig into the vision behind Roots to Roost, the importance of habitat work on private lands, how landowners can get involved and more! 

In this episode of the NWTF Turkey Call All Access Podcast NWTF staff members from the Great Plains region explore the vital connection between wild turkeys, riparian ecosystems, and NWTF's Waterways for Wildlife Initiative. Together, they break down why riparian corridors—those narrow but powerful “ribbons of life” along rivers and streams—are so important to turkeys, hundreds of other wildlife species and the communities who depend on them. Listeners will hear firsthand how science and research are guiding conservation decisions in the Great Plains, the on-the-ground work NWTF and its partners are doing to restore and protect waterways and the lasting impact this initiative will have on wildlife and people alike. From invasive species removal to landowner collaboration, this conversation highlights how Waterways for Wildlife is shaping a healthier, more resilient future for America's Great Open Spaces.

The NWTF's Habitat for the Hatch initiative just wrapped up its second year, improving nesting and brood-rearing habitat across the Southeast at an accelerated pace.  The initiative is made possible by NWTF state chapters, partners, staff and a shared dedication to the wild turkey.  In this episode of the Turkey Call All Access podcast, we're joined by NWTF district biologists Derek Alkire and Ricky Lackey; Daniel Standly, NWTF National Forestry Initiative forester; Doug Little, NWTF Eastern director of operations; Molly Pitts, NWTF forest management manager; and David Gladkowski, NWTF managing editor - web and media. Together, they discuss the vision behind Habitat for the Hatch, the importance of wild turkey research, how the NWTF's work benefits entire ecosystems, ways private landowners can get involved and more!  

There's always something new to learn when you sit down with a group of NWTF biologists and foresters. Our Forests and Flocks Initiative just celebrated its first successful year of many to come, and we wanted to know what this past year looked like for the Northeast.   For anyone who wants to learn more about the initiative or wants to hear more about regional conservation efforts, regional biologists Mitchell Blake and Kaylee Szymanski have you covered. For those who are interested in the National Forestry Initiative, NWTF Forester Spencer Como has exactly what you're looking for. 

Chris Lawrence opens the show with a heartfelt reflection on squirrel season and treasured hunts with his father before turning to pressing issues in the field. Sean Butler of Longspur Tracking details the alarming spread of EHD among deer in the Mid-Ohio Valley and its impact on herds. Later, Cully McCurdy of the National Wild Turkey Federation explains how NWTF dollars support conservation projects, new access for hunters, and vital equipment for wildlife management in West Virginia.

A World Champion turkey Caller, as well as an evangelist for the Gospel of Christ, Mitchell has one focus and that is to use his talents to further the kingdom of God.  As unorthodox as it may sound, God can and does use us where we are if we allow it. Mitchell Johnston is a good example of how God uses a maker of turkey calls and other game calls to spread the gospel to the world. Today we learn all about the foundation of Dead End Game Calls, and the mission as they push forward.  The Dead End brand of products was founded from the love of pursuing the Creation of the Creator! At Dead End, we believe in the lifestyle of the outdoors and we “LIVE THE LIFESTYLE” every day!  We understand that each time you are outside enjoying the creation, whether with a family member, a friend or just time alone, you are building memories.

Dave Owens, creator of The Pinhoti Project, sat down with me and talked about social media, calling championships, and conservation. Dave recently won his second Grand National Title at the NWTF in Nashville this year, and is an active participant and supporter of the various state calling contests. Social media figures, or influencers, often get blamed for the increase numbers and reduced opportunities on public hunting land. While some of this has been warranted, there are also cases where these figures have leveraged their large following and influenced national politics. Earlier this year when Mike Lee authored legislation that would have forced the sale of millions of acres of public land, Dave and others used their platforms to push back successfully against this legislation. While we are quick to criticize those who are in the public eye and have large followings, we should also give them credit when this considerable influence is used for good.

Anyone who has hunted turkeys in the Southeast for any period of time has seen a sharp decline in the huntable population of the wild turkey. I was fortunate enough to grow up in the good old days of the wild turkey here in South Carolina. Spring mornings filled with thunderous gobbles from 7-10 different birds every morning was heaven for this hunter.  Today, those same woods are silent. What happened? This is the question we are attempting to address in this episode. Today we have Travis Sumner back with us to discuss the decline of the turkey in the southeast. His knowledge, experience and land management practices have created a reputation as one of the most knowledgeable people on this topic.  www.nwtf.org www.taurususa.com www.cva.com www.himtnjerky.com www.murrelloptics.com www.jumpmedic.com www.christianoutdoors.org www.citrusafe.com www.elimishieldhunt.com www.mossyoak.com 

Robbie sits down with some of the board members of the newly birthed North American Pronghorn Foundation, one of the newest nonprofits in the conservation space! America is the bastion of species-specific foundations like this that dive deep into the conservation of one or another much loved and iconic species from Ducks Unlimited to NWTF to all the deer foundations and beyond - but with 14 states with pronghorn populations and only two with positive increases in those populations - this group couldn't have come at a more important time.  Get to know the guest: https://www.pronghorns.org Do you have questions we can answer?

Hit the Ground Running - A Turkey HuntSummaryAndy Gagliano and Cameron Weddington discussed Cameron Weddington's challenges with their new chicken flock due to mycoplasma and its potential implications for wild turkey populations, referencing anecdotal evidence and a Canadian study finding mycoplasma in wild turkeys. Cameron Weddington then recounted a difficult three-day turkey hunt in a new state, detailing a tense encounter with two gobblers on a steep cliff that ultimately led to a successful shot after a strategic and risky maneuver. The hosts, Andy Gagliano and Cameron Weddington, also looked forward to a New Zealand turkey hunt and shared listener predator stories.DetailsPodcast Introduction and Personal Updates Andy Gagliano and Cameron Weddington began the Turkey Hunter Podcast episode 520 by discussing personal happenings. Andy Gagliano joked about opening chipmunk season at their house, while Cameron Weddington shared the story of their new flock of chickens after a disastrous first attempt involving a disease called mycoplasma(00:00:00).Cameron's Chicken Misfortunes and Mycoplasma Cameron Weddington recounted the unfortunate demise of their original nine chickens due to predators and ultimately, the introduction of four new chickens carrying mycoplasma, which wiped out the entire flock (00:00:00). They described the rapid spread and severity of mycoplasma, even in asymptomatic carriers, and the lengths they went to disinfect the area to protect local wild turkeys (00:01:34) (00:04:44).Potential Impact of Chicken Farming on Wild Turkeys Cameron Weddington reflected on how their experience with mycoplasma made them consider the potential impact of large-scale chicken farming and the spreading of chicken litter on wild turkey populations, especially given the prevalence of diseases in domestic poultry (00:03:39). Andy Gagliano concurred, noting that turkey populations in areas with significant chicken farming often seem lower. They referenced a discussion at a turkey convention where definitive evidence was lacking but anecdotal evidence suggested a negative correlation (00:05:43).Mycoplasma Research and Turkey Hunting Season Status Cameron Weddington shared findings from a Canadian study in Ontario that detected mycoplasma in a significant percentage of hunter-harvested wild turkeys. They also mentioned an article on the NWTF website discussing mycoplasma as a viral disease found in wild turkey flocks. With spring turkey season concluded in all US states, except possibly Michigan which ended on June 7th, the hosts transitioned to a story about a past turkey hunt (

The Rio Grande turkey occupies a variety of regions across the country thanks to translocation, but it is primarily known as the bird that occupies the more arid regions of the country, spanning from Texas north to Kansas.  This bird also is characterized as being more "gobble-friendly" than its relatives to the east, and for it's caramel colored tips of the primary and covert tail feathers. To close out the four-part series on the main subspecies needed for a wild turkey grand slam, the NWTF's Paul Campbell and Pete Muller are joined by Texas-native and wild game chef Jesse Griffith and wild turkey researcher Bret Collier to talk about all things Rio Grande wild turkey. While recounting some stories from the field, Rio Grande turkey's history, geographic distribution, current research and much more for a podcast you won't want to miss! Also make sure to check out Jesse Griffith's "The Turkey Book" to grab some of the great recipes discussed on the episode. 

To bag a Merriam's wild turkey, hunter must head west to the more mountainous regions of the country. While these birds may be known for weaker gobbles and some of the shortest spurs and beards of all the subspecies, the snow-white tips of the tail fan for Merriam's turkeys keep turkey hunter heading to the high country year after year! On this episode of Turkey Call All Access, the NWTF's Jesse Warner and Chuck Carpenter are joined by Jason Phelps, of Phelps Game Calls, to recap a hunt they shared in the Pacific Northwest. They cover the tactics they used and the challenges met afield, they dive into research that has been conducted about Merriam's wild turkeys in the region and they chat about the outlook of the bird in the future.

Listeners know there is nothing more I enjoy more than turkey hunting. The allure of the spring woods being awakened to the thurnderous gobble of a mature turkey stirs my soul like nothing else. It is refreshing when I get the chance to talk with kindred spirits.  Today, Jon Goodwin joins me again on a conversation with Travis Sumner. Travis has "been there and done that" in the world of hunting turkeys. From years spent with NWTF, to conservation groups, and mentoring new hunters. Decades as a member of the Mossy Oak pro-staff and more. Talking about turkeys, managing turkeys, managing habitat for turkeys and living a life loving people and his Lord Jesus Christ. Travis is the real deal. I am sure you will enjoy this conversation as much as we did.      www.taurususa.com www.cva.com www.himtnjerky.com www.murrelloptics.com www.jumpmedic.com www.christianoutdoors.org www.citrusafe.com www.elimishieldhunt.com www.mossyoak.com www.nwtf.com
