We trade stories from West Texas and Idaho to show why ethics stay the same and why turkeys still find ways to win. • the bittersweet end of the Mississippi spring turkey season and the push to travel • how we approach new states and new subspecies without changing our style • why turkeys do not live everywhere and how to avoid hunting empty wood...
