Dave Owens' Thoughts From The 2023 Turkey Season

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Limbhanger) — Fri, 16 Jun 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Welcome to the Limbhanger podcast! Turkey season is over and we don't want to talk about it. But this is a podcast, so we have to talk about it. The redeeming news is that Dave Owens of the Pinhoti Project is joining us this week. It's hard to give Dave an introduction. Do you talk about his unmatched skillset of being a hunter? Or should you talk about his championship calling? He's really just one of the most genuine, down to earth people in the hunting industry, and it's an honor to have him joining us.

We're getting in the weeds this week as Dave gives us some insight into the things he's taken note of in his career as a travelling turkey hunter. Each spring, Dave travels across the country hunting turkeys. So who better to talk to about turkey populations, regulations that might need adjusted, or new regulations that might actually be working well? It seems to be commonplace for hunters to talk about a rise in pressure. Covid seemingly opened the flood gates and some people believe the spring turkey woods will never be the same due to increased pressure. What does Dave think about this? Well, rest assured you're going to hear this and a lot more this week. Thanks for listening!

Green-Up Gobblers

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Limbhanger) — Fri, 5 May 2023 09:00:00 +0000

We've got our friend Jordan Pope this week on the Limbhanger Turkey Hunting Podcast. If you follow Jordan or know him at all, you'd know that when he gets on a roll, it's hard to stop the train. By that we mean once he figures out what the gobblers are doing in that portion of the season, he goes into full kill mode and it doesn't stop until the turkeys start doing something different.

Speaking of the turkeys doing something different, our main topic today is hunting them once green-up occurs. This year it seemed like despite the cool weather, the woods bloomed super fast. Jordan shares with us some of his strategy once the seasons start to change.

This week on Limbhanger, we're talking about when and where might be your best bet when it comes to booking an outfitted turkey hunt. This is important especially when it comes to chasing the 49 state Super Slam.

Adam gets the opportunity to do some of these hunts through his job and recently came back from a trip to South Texas hunting Rio gobblers. Joey booked an outfitted hunt with Jay Scott for his Goulds hunt in Mexico. As the guys talk through their experiences, they break down some of the good and bad when it comes to this style of hunting.

Turkey Scouting with Catman

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Limbhanger) — Fri, 17 Feb 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Welcome to episode 1 of the Limbhanger Turkey Hunting Podcast. We're glad you're here! Spring is coming soon and there's not much worse than going into opening day without a gameplan or at the very least having knowledge of a gobbler in the area you hunt. We're joined by Jonathan Boheme (aka Catman) to talk about how he prepares for turkey season through pre-season scouting.

Catman has earned the right to talk on the subject, as he consistently finds success on public land turkeys within the first few days of the season in his home state of Tennessee. Pre-season turkey scouting has allowed him to keep tabs on turkeys in their winter flocks, and follow them as they start to separate closer to spring, leading to a lot more success early in the season.
