On this episode of ‘Network Outdoors The Podcast’ Brandon Malson meets with owner of Great Lakes Guided Outdoors, Conner Gough, to go deep on how to spend your time and what to do to be successful turkey hunting opening day.

Conner and the GLGO team have a wild success rate of getting their clients a close range shot 100% of the time, every season, for the last 11 years in business. Having a track record like that certainly doesn’t begin on opening morning at first light. 

A lot of work goes into being a successful Spring Turkey Hunter and Conner shares some valuable insight to his scouting tactics the 11 months outside of season. He discusses turkey behaviors at different times of the day, morning/midday/evening scenarios, changing decoy setups based on various situations, calling strategies and sequences to use, favorite ammo types paired with different choke tubes, ideal turkey environments and conservation efforts, turkey predators, the beauty of a turkey camp experience, and much more!

With Spring Turkey Hunting Season here and our 3rd Annual Spring Turkey Hunting Slam Contest underway (still time to sign up by Friday 4/19 at 11:59pm) - you definitely don’t want to miss this one!

On this episode of ‘Network Outdoors The Podcast’ Brandon Malson sits down to discuss upland hunting wild birds with Gareth Allen, avid outdoorsman and owner of Bird Up Guide Service.

They dive deep into wild pheasants, grouse and woodcock, where to find them on public land, hunting strategies, how to e-scout, what to do once you’re able to get boots on the ground, weather patterns, and how Gareth runs his dogs. Gareth shares insight to bird feeding habits, roosting patterns, breeding, early season and late season strategies, migratory flight patterns, bird behaviors when hunting pressure increases, and also discusses some different state laws that have been helpful to increase bird populations.

Gareth bought his first hunting dog at 13 and then harvested his first wild game bird. He’s been hooked ever since which has led him to train dogs, guide professionally, run his German Shorthair Pointers (GSP) at local hunt clubs for clients, and be an advocate for the sport all over the state of Michigan.
