Hunting Fails: Lessons for Every Turkey Hunter

Only 30% of hunters in my home state of Ohio were successful in the 2024 spring turkey season. That means that of the 51.5K hunters who purchased a tag, a whopping 36k hunters came up empty at the end of the season. There are 7 common mistakes that make the difference between tag soup or turkey nuggets for dinner. Let’s see if you are guilty of any of these mistakes. On today’s podcast, we'll dive into 7 common mistakes turkey hunters make and how to avoid them so you can have a better hunting season. And I can really say I've made a few of these mistakes myself over the years. Let's figure out how to dodge these pitfalls next time you're out in the turkey woods. Link to Dead Ringer Sight mentioned in this podcast: https://amzn.to/4hdBre7When I think about all the blunders I’ve made in the turkey woods. I can’t help but think of all the mistakes I’ve made going through life too. One thing I am grateful for is that we have a God who loves us despite our mistakes. And that is a good thing, because I know that I am prone to make a lot of them.I’m encouraged by a verse in 1 John 1:9. It says: “But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.” This verse gives me comfort to believe that all sins are forgiven in Christ. My mistakes aren’t held against me if I give them over to Jesus.No matter how you're doing, whether you're at your best or worst, God's grace is there to cover up all your mistakes. It doesn't make sense, and you won't understand it. What a beautiful truth for those of us who struggle to do it right all the time! I hope you know the love of God and it encourages you too.BECOME AN INSIDERInsiders get access to bonus content including knowing Mistake #7 in today's podcast.
