Episode 768: The Spring Turkey Edition

What this episode covers

Josh Dahlke lives and breathes two things: whitetail deer and spring turkey hunting and with spring here, we devote today’s episode to all things turkey hunting. The Minnesota native has multiple turkey slams under his belt and is set to embark on 2 straight months of chasing gobblers all over the Lower 48. Highlights from the conversation include: * How to find a “free” turkey property * Once you have a new property, how do you go about e-scouting it with HuntStand? * How do turkey use a property differently than deer? * What’s in their crop? * How to sweet talk that hung up gobbler into shotgun range * Late vs Early season – what’s better? * Which turkey sub species is the easiest to kill? * What about reaping? * Ideal decoy set up for each situation * TSS loads and small bore shotguns * Why do birds suddenly show up in the spring after being MIA for the rest of the year?
