    770 - The Run & Gun Turkey Hunting Blueprint with Aaron Warbritton

    Today we are joined by our buddy Aaron Warbritton of The Hunting Public! Aaron is a rare blend of old-school woodsmanship and modern tactical thinking. He understands the fundamentals, but he also adapts to how turkeys behave under heavy pressure. That combination is what makes him one of the most effective public land hunters that we know. In this conversation, we cover: How to find “the X” on unfamiliar public land Why habitat + pressure dictate everything How to break down new ground fast Early vs late season turkey strategy When to sit patiently — and when to move How pressure changes gobbler behavior Beating other hunters without racing them Reading terrain for the 30–50 yard kill window Locator calls on pressured birds Why most hunters leave too early The mindset required to hunt multiple states successfully This is a masterclass in public land turkey hunting — from the mental approach to the in-the-woods execution. If you want to consistently kill public land gobblers anywhere, this one is worth your time. Got a question for the show?

    764 - Why Most Turkey Hunters Are Doing Too Much | Dean "Redbeard" Mundhenke

    Today we are joined by Dean "Redbeard" Mundhenke of Georgia. Redbeard is a well known custom call maker and a dyed in the wool old school turkey hunter - and in this episode we cover: How Redbeard was introduced to turkey hunting and why it took years to truly understand it Why woodsmanship matters more than calling when it comes to taking gobblers Common mistakes turkey hunters make by calling too much and moving too fast Learning to read turkeys through terrain, travel routes, and other wildlife How squirrel hunting, crows, and woodpeckers help reveal gobblers The evolution from aggressive calling to quiet, minimal calling Why many turkeys are taken with little—or no—calling at all Early vs late season turkey hunting strategies and why late season is often overlooked The value of staying on one property long-term instead of constantly traveling Memorable hunts, hard lessons, and the turkeys that he never got How turkey hunting culture has changed with media and social platforms The origin story of Mad Hatter Calls and the philosophy behind handmade friction calls Why the gobble still creates a primal adrenaline rush after decades in the woods Check out Redbeard's call company, Madhatter Calls - https://linkly.link/2ZuKS Check out the Hunt Regs App - https://linkly.link/2ZuKR Got a question for the show?
