Episode 114: Late Season Longbeards & Last Chance Gobblers

Late season turkey hunting is where things start getting real. The woods get quieter, birds stop following the script, and every hunt starts feeling more like a chess match. In this episode, we talk through how our mindset and tactics change once the season starts winding down and why this stretch of the season might actually be some of our favorite days to hunt all spring. We dive into midday run and gun setups, pressured gobblers, aggressive calling, roosting changes, decoy strategies, covering ground, and what it takes to finally get a stubborn late season tom to commit. If you’re still holding a tag and trying to make one last bird happen before season closes, this episode should fire you up to get back in the woods.

Episode 112: Why Early Season Turkeys Are So Hard to Kill (And How to Beat Them)

Early season can be some of the toughest turkey hunting of the year. The birds are still grouped up, gobblers are locked down with hens, and if you’re hunting before hens start nesting, it can feel like every tom in the woods is answering… but none of them are coming. In this Turkey Talk segment, we’re talking through why those first couple weeks can be such a grind and what to do when birds are still bunched up and henned up. We get into calling strategies, working hens instead of gobblers, setup adjustments, and how to stay patient when it feels like nothing’s working. Just real turkey hunting talk—breaking down what makes early season birds so tough and how to stack the odds back in your favor.   Wild Faith Podcast Links: Store: https://www.wildfaithpodcast.com/category/all-products [https://www.wildfaithpodcast.com/category/all-products] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wildfaith/ [https://www.instagram.com/wildfaithpodcast/] TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wildfaithpodcast [https://www.tiktok.com/@wildfaithpodcast] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WildFaithPodcast [https://www.youtube.com/@WildFaithPodcast]

Turkey Talk: How to Hunt Grouped Up Turkeys

Grouped-up birds can make even good turkey hunters question everything. In this Turkey Talk segment, we’re breaking down how to call to flocked-up turkeys when gobblers are locked down with hens and nothing seems to be working. We get into when to call, when to shut up, how to work the hens instead of the gobbler, and why sometimes the best move is just keeping it simple and letting the woods do the work. Just a laid-back conversation talking turkey hunting, real-world tactics, and what’s worked for us when those early season birds are being stubborn.   Wild Faith Podcast Links: Store: https://www.wildfaithpodcast.com/category/all-products [https://www.wildfaithpodcast.com/category/all-products] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wildfaith/ [https://www.instagram.com/wildfaithpodcast/] TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wildfaithpodcast [https://www.tiktok.com/@wildfaithpodcast] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WildFaithPodcast [https://www.youtube.com/@WildFaithPodcast]

Episode 111: Turkey Camp at the Farm. (Chasing Birds in SE Minnesota)

We kicked off turkey season the right way down in SE Minnesota at the farm. Miles walked, boots worn out, and plenty of birds to keep us humble. Toms grouped up, birds playing games, and one of those weekends where you earn every opportunity. Long days, short nights, and even with Evan battling being sick, it was an absolute blast. This year at camp we had the whole crew. Luke, Evan, Erik, and Sam all in camp together. Camp was unreal. Good people, plenty of laughs, and time in the woods doing what we love. Big shoutout to Sam Melton on his first out of state bird and his first Minnesota bird. Could not have drawn it up any better and it made the whole weekend that much better. A lot of close calls, some funny moments, and a whole lot of boot leather burned. Exactly how you want to start a season.
