American Turkey

Almost America’s national bird. That’s where this one starts, and it spirals in all the right ways. This episode dives into what makes turkey hunting such a perfect gateway for young hunters. Between barn cats stalking the blind, 4-year-olds dropping longbeards, and kids forming camp friendships over early-morning hunts, it’s clear turkey season is less about trophies and more about tradition. We talk about the awkward magic of dads trying not to be embarrassing, the joy of youth tags turning into lifelong memories, and the totally underrated beauty of a quiet spring morning in the blind with your kids. If you’ve ever questioned the value of turkey season, this one might just change your mind. Also: ticks, toy guns, shed hunting detours, and the underrated brilliance of the Tick Tornado.
