On this episode we are joined by Andrew McKean, the Hunting & Conservation Editor for Outdoor Life. Andrew has the craziest elk hunting story we can recall hearing. The West has thousands of acres of landlocked public hunting opportunities that are more-or-less inaccessible. There has been much debate about corner crossings in the last few years. After drawing tags and studying maps, Andrew and his buddies thought they’d found the perfect answer when they decided to have a helicopter drop them into a remote area so as not to cause any trespass issues with the adjoining landowners. All their reconnaissance paid off and all three killed giant bulls… but what happened next surprised everyone. It’s a great story and one you’ll want to hear and share  Listen, Learn and Enjoy.  Send a text message to the show!

This week we’re joined by Brent Rogers who has fast become the authority on the history of turkey calls. Brent has a vast collection but more importantly has dedicated his free time to learn the history to the calls. It would be hard to imagine anyone knowing more about the infancy of the call business and collecting the old calls that are worth serious money. They are still out there to find through estate sales, unknowing friends and internet sites.  His new book The Origins and Evolution of Turkey Calls is a must have for anyone that’s interested. We learned a lot about the old calls we all love so much.  Listen, Learn and Enjoy.  Brent's Websites https://turkeycallhistory.com/ https://www.wildturkeyarchives.com/ Send a text message to the show!
