    Episode 13 - Open Country Gobblers, River Conservation, and Classic Turkey Stories
    Apr 24 2026
    Wide open prairie gobblers, tight roosts, and the fight to protect rivers. Will Brantley breaks down hunting open country turkeys across Texas, Nebraska, Kansas, and beyond, contrasting Rio Grande and Merriam’s birds with Eastern timber gobblers. From early season Texas leases to late-spring prairie hunts, he explains how vast terrain changes everything from glassing strategy to calling distance. Open country birds cover ground fast, often forcing hunters to read roost patterns, use optics, and cut distance quickly instead of easing through timber. He details setup fundamentals in wide landscapes: prioritizing creek bottoms, cottonwood drainages, and scattered shade trees where birds roost and regroup. Calling shifts heavily toward louder friction calls like box calls and pot calls that can cut wind and carry across long distances. While decoys and even controversial tactics like fanning or reaping can be effective, success often comes down to positioning on travel routes and anticipating daily movement between feed and roost. The episode also shifts into conservation reporting on Montana’s Blackfoot River, where a proposed gold mine and AI data center raise concerns about water use, energy demand, and long-term river health. The show closes with a Campfire reading of “The Norwegian Mafia,” a classic turkey hunting family story that captures the humor, grit, and connection that defines time in the field.

    Episode 12 - Calling Gobblers in the Timber: Eastern Turkey Hunting Tactics That Kill
    Apr 10 2026
    Slip into hardwood ridges and learn how to call pressured gobblers into gun range. Few pursuits in the hunting world rival the intensity of chasing Eastern wild turkeys through big timber. This conversation digs into the craft behind successful turkey hunting in hardwoods, where terrain, patience, and decision-making matter more than anything in your vest. From locating gobblers on ridges to understanding how turkeys use strut zones, you’ll hear practical turkey hunting tips that translate directly to more opportunities in the spring woods. The discussion breaks down how to move quietly through rolling terrain, when to call and when to stay silent, and how to set up in a way that keeps birds from slipping in unseen. There’s a strong focus on woodsman skills like reading topography, predicting movement, and making the right call at the right time. You’ll also pick up insight on realistic turkey calling, including why soft yelps and restraint often outperform aggressive tactics on pressured birds. Gear stays simple, but strategy stays sharp, with a minimalist approach that prioritizes mobility and awareness. The episode closes with a story that captures the heart of the outdoors—catfishing, family, and the kind of memories that stick with you long after the season ends.

  • Fishing into the Twilight: A Campfire Segment By Field And Stream

    Fishing into the Twilight: A Campfire Segment By Field And Stream
    Apr 3 2026
    An aging angler returns to sacred water where memory, family, and trout still rise. In this Campfire story from the Field & Stream archives, John N. Maclean delivers a deeply reflective piece of fly fishing writing rooted in Montana’s Blackfoot River. What begins as a familiar ritual, sitting on a well-worn stone above productive trout water, unfolds into something far more enduring. This is a story about time, lineage, and the quiet transformation that comes with a lifetime spent outdoors. Listeners will find themselves immersed in classic fly fishing rhythms. Reading water, watching for rise forms, and understanding insect hatches all serve as the backdrop. But the real takeaway lies beneath the surface. As the years pass, the pursuit of trout becomes secondary to the landscapes, relationships, and memories tied to them. The river becomes a living archive, holding generations of anglers, mentors, and moments that refuse to fade. There is also an honest look at aging in the outdoors. Wading heavy water gets harder. Casting changes. Priorities shift. Yet the rewards deepen. Solitude becomes richer. The act of fishing evolves into reflection, where every cast connects past and present. This is storytelling for those who understand that fly fishing is never just about the fish.
