This week we are bringing you an interview from the home of Ron "Coach" Watters, a man who has tagged more birds than we have probably ever seen! Ron is a true old-school turkey pro and a custom call maker. He began hunting turkeys in the 1970s and has a family history of turkey hunting in Alabama going back to the 1930's and earlier. We discuss:

• Ron's grandfather, who was killed while turkey hunting in 1939
• Ron's scratch box call made by his grandfather in the 1930's
• The "3 p's" of being a good turkey hunter (or any kind of hunter)
• Covert calling tactics
• Find where a bird calls "home" and hunt him there
• Hunting a bird on his terms, and winning
• The "Death Call"
• Learning from good hunters while still charting your own path

and TONS more! This episode is a real treat and we are very excited for you guys to hear it! If you enjoy the show, please share it with a buddy!

To order one of Ron's calls, text 256-846-0671 or email tkm150@hotmail.com

Today we are doing a throwback to one of our favorite turkey episodes we have ever done! Mike Pentecost is an absolute wealth of turkey hunting knowledge, and we traveled to sit down with him to pick his brain on what the differences are between turkey hunters and turkey killers! Mike dives into subjects such as all the details that 90% of turkey hunters overlook that have a huge impact on their success rate, tagging turkeys with either "your feet or your seat", the importance of perception in turkey hunting and how a focus in this area will immediately start changing your turkey hunting for the better, and how he is extremely successful well into the mid and late season when a lot of other hunters struggle. You do not want to miss this episode!
