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, Jon Collins and Torry Cook discuss summertime raccoon calling.
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.

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.

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.

“[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.

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.
