Sandhills & White Tips

In this special solo episode, Paul takes us on a deeply personal and unforgettable journey to complete his wild turkey Grand Slam. From a scorching August day of reflection to the river valleys of Nebraska’s Sandhills, Paul recounts the emotional rollercoaster of his 2024 Merriam’s hunt — the final bird needed to seal the deal. You’ll hear about the incredible people who helped make it possible, including his friends Mike and Wyatt Larson, and the serendipitous opportunities that led him across the country in pursuit of this elusive subspecies. Through missed shots, intense anticipation, and ultimately success, Paul offers not just a story of a turkey hunt, but a powerful reflection on why we chase these birds in the first place. Packed with laughs, lessons, and even a Grand Slam wild turkey po’ boy recipe — this episode is a must-listen for anyone who lives for spring mornings in the woods. Learn more about your ad choices.
