26. Turkey, Ticks & Taxidermy

In this episode of Prey Pursuit, I dive into the real challenges of turkey hunting: from pressured birds and changing patterns to the lessons learned through tough mornings in the woods. I also discuss the noticeable rise in ticks and what it means for hunters spending time outdoors, including concerns around habitat, health, and prevention. To round it out, I get into the art and value of taxidermy; why preserving memories from the field means so much, and what goes into honoring a hunt long after the season ends. It’s a mix of hunting strategy, current issues, and appreciation for the traditions that keep us coming back.Check out @drop_em_outdoors_ on Facebook or Instagram to donate to their fundraiser!
