Hunting New Turkeys in New Places - What Changes and What Stays the Same

The Spring Legion Podcast

We hit the road to stretch the season past Mississippi’s closing day and learn what changes when the turkeys, terrain, and weather are brand new. We trade stories from West Texas and Idaho to show why ethics stay the same and why turkeys still find ways to win.
• the bittersweet end of the Mississippi spring turkey season and the push to travel
• how we approach new states and new subspecies without changing our style
• why turkeys do not live everywhere and how to avoid hunting empty woods
• West Texas glassing and positioning on Rios with fences roads and pressured birds
• a close-range finish that starts with a turkey hearing footsteps in dead grass
• Idaho public land lessons on movement timing weather breaks and staying with birds
• why gobblers try to gain elevation and how a small setup mistake costs you
