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.

This week on the podcast, I sit down with Tony Gilbertson, the newly crowned 2024 World Elk Calling Champion. Tony is not only a master elk caller but also a seasoned hunter with a wealth of experience. In this episode, we delve into Tony's journey to becoming a champion caller and how his calling skills directly translate into success in the field. Tony shares valuable insights and stories, including a pivotal moment where patience triumphed over persistence in hunting a bull. We explore Tony's preferred elk calls, his unique approach to mastering diverse call sounds by learning from elk themselves, and what sets him apart from other elk callers. It's evident that Tony's expertise extends beyond competition; he's a true elk hunting aficionado.

This year, I'm stoked to finally upgrade to the new Mathews LIFT 33. Let me tell you, this bow is a game-changer and Mathews knocked it out of the park with this bow. At just 4 pounds, it's unbelievably light for a 33” bow. The new cams on the LIFT 33 shoot like butter. Smooth, light, and fast—my 440 grain arrows should be clocking in around 290 feet per second. It's a beast. If you're gearing up for elk season and looking to step up your game, I highly recommend giving the new Mathews a test drive. Head over to Mathewsinc.com or visit your local dealer to see why this bow is making waves in the hunting community. If you know me I don't get a new bow often, this is only my 4th bow since 2002, but this bow I am excited to start hunting with this year.

Embark on a journey into the heart of archery elk hunting with the remarkable Jason Phelps, a true innovator who's turned his passion for the wilderness into a symphony of success with Phelps Game Calls. His story, woven from childhood hunts to the thrill of the bow, captures the essence of a tradition transformed by innovation. As we sit down with Jason, his tales of transition from rifle to bow and the founding of his game call empire strike a chord with those who seek not just the hunt but the deeper connection with nature it brings.www.phelpsgamecalls.comInstagramJasonPhelpsHunting StoriesSupport the show

Dirk Durham is one of the worlds best elk hunters and callers, he's also the marketing manager with Phelps Game Calls and one helluva friend to me. As a return guest on this show, he never disappoints.  In this episode, Dirk and I discuss etiquette on the mountain and answer listener questions and comments on this topic. We're both long enough in the tooth to remember hunting before the internet, and have seen how the hunting community has changed over the last few decades. Etiquette and unspoken rules between hunters have always been of importance, and perhaps for many, they didn't have the proper mentorship to know what good hunting etiquette is. We're hoping to change that with episodes like this one, and there's nobody better than Dirk to kick this important conversation off! Dirk on Instagram Show Sponsors!

Mike Costello is the host of the Hunting Ain't Easy Podcast, a hunter out of Northern California, and an advocate for hunting rights. Mike took some issue with the recent "Is Hunting Conservation" series I have been doing with Chris Roe and Guy Duplantier, which is part of our goal in doing the series. So I invited him back on the show to talk about it! After catching up, we discuss his reaction to the series, where he feels like we went wrong, and what he thinks hunters should focus on as solutions to the current battle for the future of hunting. He describes what he means with the term "Hunting is Human(e)" and what kind of messaging hunters should be sending to non-hunters. Hunting Ain't Easy on Instagram As hunters, I strongly believe a course correction is necessary to build public support for what we do. We are getting hammered in the court of public opinion and have completely lost control of the narrative. While some may think that I, personally, would have been turned off by Mike's criticism, I would strongly encourage them to understand that I welcome it when it comes to this topic. We had a robust conversation, and I respect Mike for coming on and laying his perspective out. I cerainly don't have the answer as to what we as a community need to do, it's going to take a collective of voices united against one common enemy. We may disagree on how we get there, but getting there is what's important. If you have a comment, question, or input on the premise of these conversations, please don't hesitate to email me. jim@thewesternhuntsman.com Check Out Eastmans Hunting Journals for more content!

After a wild September, I sit down alone and recap the North Idaho elk season that ended with an arrow in a bull and a truck that burned to the ground.  The truck fire destoyed most of my podcast files since my laptop was in it, therefore I'm putting this episode out on a laptop I haven't pulled the files from the cloud with yet.

Jason Phelps is the founder of Phelps Game Calls and an engineer. He grew up in rural Washington spending a great deal of time in the outdoors, mostly chasing elk and learning their language. After graduating college with a Civil Engineering Degree, he began working full-time in the field while building his call company as a side hustle.

Continuing with the discussion, this week we talk with Dirk Durham of Phelps Game Calls about HIS philosophy in elk calling, and why he leans toward the calling strategy he does. In this episode, we talk about: – Initial response to the EZ Suk'r Cow Call; – The Idaho draw, and picking up leftover tags; – Dirk's elk hunting "Origin Story"; – Conditions that "grew" Dirk's calling philosophy; – Dirk's calling vs. "Doug Flutey"; – Aggressive calling vs. "Reckless" calling; – Elk in the wolf areas of Idaho; – Horrible elk calling/callers; – Having a "musical ear" vs. not; and – More!

The 2022 elk season is just around the corner for most of us, so it's time to start getting serious about figuring out what we're going to do, where, how, and most importantly – WHY! One of those things is choosing a calling strategy for the elk we'll be chasing, within the context of the different herd dynamics, hunting pressure, habitats, and environmental conditions we'll be chasing them in. In this podcast – the first of at least three during the month of August – we're going to talk to Jay Scott, of Jay Scott Outdoors, and deep-dive into his preferred elk calling strategy, how he came to "develop" it, why it's worked for him for so long, in so many different places, chasing some of the biggest bulls on the planet, and why he thinks it's a sound strategy for MOST elk hunters, regardless of where they are hunting. By now it's no secret that Jay and Chris think alike when it comes to talking to elk, but here, we focus on Jay's insights, opinions, experiences, and analysis. Coming up in this particular series will be Steve Chappell of Chappell Guide Service and Elk Camp TV, and Dirk Durham of Phelps Game Calls.

Steven Rinella talks with Chris Parish, Ryan Callaghan, Sean Weaver, Phil Taylor, and Corinne Schneider.  Topics discussed: How Steve still insists on his theory that D&D created today's falconry community; spending 19 hours hunting per single grouse harvested in NY State; MeatEater's Campfire Stories 2: Narrow Misses and More Close Calls is out!; go get our brand new EZ SUK'R cow elk call from Phelps Game Calls; a reminder to submit your project to our Land Access Initiative; FirstLite's partnership with Delta Waterfowl; profile pictures and differing opinions on what's offensive; green crab whiskey and eating invasive species; lead shot and waterfowl die offs; getting thrown in jail for shooting red tails; how the lead issue is definitely not just a condor issue; the story of AC-9; chelation and depuration as great Scrabble words; supplement tubs; how condors returned to the same caves their ancestors had lived in during the Pleistocene; hunters responding; being uneasy about bans; following the science and when science becomes weaponized; the North American Non-lead Partnership and Hunting With Non-lead; and more.
