Turkey Hunting Out Of State with Joey Bell

For some folks, Turkey hunting is a fun hobby to do on the weekends. For Joey Bell, it's a lifestyle. Tennessee is regarded as one of the best turkey states in the southeast, maybe even the country. Luckily, our guest this week calls the Volunteer state home, and has found his love for the outdoors through chasing longbeards all over the hills and hollers of Tennessee. Joey is not only an avid turkey hunter, but also the chapter president for the Tennessee Backcountry Hunters and Anglers. In episode 71, we discuss some of the things coming up with BHA, but the focus is on hunting out of state public land for different turkey species. Last year we had Joey on the show, and he told us about an upcoming trip he had to Nebraska after his first Merriam. Today, Joey tells us about the success he had on that trip, which was pretty incredible. This year, he's headed to Oklahoma and Kansas to try to punch a tag on some Rios, and he tells us about the planning and preparation he did before deciding on the final destinations.
