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!

In this episode, Jon Collins and Corey Groff discuss common blunders and mistakes while coyote hunting.

This week we are joined by a returning guest from back in the day, miss Courtney Carroll!  Courtney came on the show back in the early stages of Fall Obsession Podcast (episode 10), and just like our show has gone through many stages and changes, she has also.  Courtney is 5 years into her career as a Florida Game Warden, which is what the majority of our conversation focuses on.  We discuss with her the life of a wildlife officer, navigating the wide range of wildlife and dynamics present in the state of Florida, ethics and legality, and Courtney's personal journey info enforcing Florida Law to protect Florida Game.  Courtney shares what many listeners may hope to hear - some stories of the unique things and people she encounters in the role, in addition to some hunt talk.  It was great to catch up with Courtney, and we hope you will join in and listen!Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by:Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/)Bear River Archery (https://www.bearriverarchery.com/)Trophy Edits (https://trophyedits.com/?ref=fallobsession)The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/)

In this special episode, Pitt County Chief District Court Judge Galen Braddy shares his deep-rooted passion for turkey hunting and turkey calling, and how the discipline, patience, and focus it requires mirror the skills he brings to the courtroom.Judge Braddy, who has served on the bench for over 25 years, offers listeners a behind-the-scenes look at his life outside the courtroom, and treats us to a demonstration of a variety of turkey calls. In addition, he shares how turkey hunting and calling trains him for his work in the courtroom, and allows him to recharge to do his best at the job he loves.   “No matter what's going on, like if you've heard a terrible domestic case where a family is in conflict, you can reboot in the outdoors,” said Braddy on the podcast. “Sometimes it doesn't matter if the turkey gobbles or not, you're just out there. That really brings me back to peace and helps me get away.”All Things Judicial: Beyond the Bench is part of an ongoing effort to humanize the judiciary and foster public understanding of the people who serve in North Carolina's court system.See pictures of Judge Braddy's prize turkeys and the turkey calls he uses.

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

In this episode, we dive into one trait that separates successful turkey hunters from the rest: commitment. From waking up before dawn to hiking into unfamiliar territory, to pushing through the tough mornings when gobblers go silent — it all comes back to how much you're willing to put in because of how much you love it. We talk about: Why committing to hunting new places sharpens your skills and opens new doors The value of early mornings and late nights in the woods How consistency and dedication to calling pays off in the long run Pushing through the hard parts of the season when others give up The mindset of a hunter who's not just interested — but truly committed to the pursuit Whether you're a seasoned turkey hunter or still figuring it out, this episode is a reminder that the more heart you put in, the more the woods give back.  You're not doing it because it's easy — you're doing it because you love it.

In this episode I have my good buddy Garrison Vick on the show! Garrison and I have shared the deer woods and fishing waters together several times. I met him through my good friend and prior guest of the show, Caleb Seegers.

He also competes in several bass fishing tournaments a year.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode, we dive into one of the most underrated but critical skills for successful turkey hunting: patience. Whether you're sitting in the woods waiting for that gobbler to come into range or navigating life's challenges, patience can make all the difference. I share how my early days of fishing helped me build patience and how those lessons carried over into the turkey woods. We'll also talk about why confidence in your setup is just as important—because if you believe in the spot you're hunting, you're much more likely to stay put long enough for success to happen. This episode is part hunting tactics, part life wisdom, and 100% real talk from the field. What You'll Learn: Why patience can make or break your turkey hunt How fishing taught me to slow down and wait with purpose The connection between patience and confidence in your hunting spot How practicing patience in the outdoors can spill over into everyday life Mindset tips for staying focused, calm, and committed in the woods Learn more about your ad choices.

On this week's episode of the How To Hunt Turkey podcast I dive into the details of changing your Turkey Hunting tactics to find success. I talk about letting the Turkeys tell you what they want and what you might need to change or do differently to find success. I also share some practical examples from my own turkey season where changing something either worked or didn't and what helped me have better turkey hunts, as well as the things that cost me opportunities. So whether you had great success in the turkey woods this year or whether you struggled, I hope this episode helps you to think about different things to try and look for next turkey season.

“[David Joy]is a man who sees his homeplace clearly and who writes like his hand was touched by God.” — The New York Times Novelist and essayist David Joy is a tall, lean and red-bearded denizen of the hollers, mountain tops and ridges of Jackson County, North Carolina. He is an obsessive turkey, deer and squirrel hunter, a fisherman who wrote his first published book on fly fishing but who is equally at home running live baits for big flathead catfish on Piedmont rivers. He is on the very short list of great American fiction writers and essayists who hunt and fish and speak for public lands and conservation as naturally as they breathe or write. This podcast was recorded at David's cabin near Little Canada, North Carolina, after a long hike in the Pisgah National Forest to scout new hunting country, in the good company of David's little feist dog, Edie Munster. Listeners who love David's stark and hyper-realistic style of writing, and his oft-times harrowing and unsettling novels, will love when Hal and David talk writing and story after a deep dive on turkey calls and turkey hunting.
