Episode Notes

In this episode Bobby talks about his recent Utah turkey hunt. Yes, Utah has turkeys - and yes, they do live up in the mountains. This is the third straight year that Bobby drew an early season tag to hunt turkeys in Utah. Typically it's the type of tag you'd only draw about every other year. Most of the birds he was able to locate were not too far under the snowline on the mountains. In the past he'd attempted to hunt these birds by roosting them and then sneaking close to the roost trees before first light the next morning. This year, he changed up his tactics and had success.

Bobby talked about what calls and gear he took into the woods for this western style turkey hunt, and the two discuss how often times minute differences in the particular call's sound can get some birds to respond when nothing else will. Garrett also discussed his first season experience in Minnesota and upcoming plans to hunt Wisconsin with Shane Simpson.
