Plus, we peel back the curtain on the nuanced dance of turkey behavior and scouting, offering insights that could very well tip the scales in your favor when you're out there with the gobblers.
For those ready to rough it in the wild, we've got a gear-focused conversation that's as inventive as it is informative. Learn why a claw-style gun sling can be your best friend and how annual maintenance rituals for your mouth calls and boots are more than just chores—they're your secret weapons.
Then, join us as we share tales from our extended road trips, complete with truck setup strategies that make the great outdoors feel just like home, minus the room service. Tune in, gear up, and let's talk turkey.

What's going on everybody? Welcome to another episode of the Spring Legion podcast. I'm your host today, hunter Farrier, and your other host today is Chase Farrier. And better late than never. This is a typical, very close to the season preseason type form. Here it is February 26, 2024. And we are a couple hours late from the time that we had set to release this podcast and we're just now getting around to recording it and it's going to be one of those quick ones where we record it and upload it immediately.
Speaker 2:So send me live here from the shop office in Brandeman, mississippi, trying to get settled back in from a very wild two weeks I mean very wild month so to speak, but these past two weeks have been a lot of chaos going on within WTF Convention of a Nashville and then coming back home and immediately not even unpacking half this stuff and heading up to Starville, mississippi, to do the live podcast, which was a great time. Want to thank everybody who attended and listened to that one, because it was a lot of a lot of turkey talk crammed into an hour or so with our buddies Lake and Jordan, and seals was there and everybody. Logan Cook stopped by to give us a spill on a really cool mission he's been working on has bank with us. Past Friday we attended. It was awesome to see kind of what he was doing over there with the logan Cook Foundation. And we are back here and we're trying to get everything restocked and everything.
Speaker 2:Chase has been pumping orders left and right out the dug on gating into the post office his hands. As far as I know, everything is. You know, we kind of had that little law there from NWTF. We weren't able to get to those orders, but Chase has got, I think, all of them out by now at least, haven't you? Yeah, yeah, they've been out and restocked and recounted and everything. So if y'all haven't yet make sure you check the website. Everything that we released at the convention in Nashville is now available or the option is there online. I don't know if this stock a lot of you know sizes and stuff have been down in the past week probably, but when we, when we got everything back, everything was in stock and y'all know how that goes, with it being, you know, almost trick season.
Speaker 2:Stuff is flying off left and right, which is good and we appreciate it just keeps us really busy restocking them. And if you hadn't seen what all we've got new this year, we've got the Greenleaf meshback hats along with the new bottomland meshback hat, and those are what I call hunting hats. Right, you know the unstructured, breathable kind, cotton, of course. And I can, I'm hacking, hunting some of those Richardson's every now and then it's got. I got a weird about a month beforehand to break it in, or I just I don't know. I'd much rather wear these floppy kind of hats when I'm hunting. But to each their own, and I've hunted in a million different hats.
Speaker 1:I also find it easier to throw this one around in the truck because it's gonna get a duffel bag and a play-no-box crushed and crushing it half the half the year, stuff in the vest pocket, something like that. So the unstructured seems to hold up a little bit over to that kind of treatment. Got a little bee into it yeah, yep, so we got that.
Speaker 2:And of course, we got our breathable, waterproof gators and bottomland and loading. They're online. They I think they stayed online throughout the convention and whatnot and still got some. We are currently in talks with a couple retailers here local to the south, so you know they're they're buying. They're not buying a pair, they're buying, you know, multiple. So I'm not gonna make any promises on those, their availability throughout the next month or two, but as of right now, both sizes both sizes in both bottomland and loading are available and if y'all know of any good retailers that y'all like to use, that y'all have good relations with or something, she's just DM. We've reached out to a good handful and they've all said, heck, yes, send them over and we might find a way to post a little story, something. Let y'all know where, where they are, and they'd be good for folks if they wanted to go. You know, put hands on them, try one owner, what not? But of course, we got an exchange process that if they don't fit, send them back and then, on the spot, we'll into the correct size, him to size. So if this was too big, we got the smaller, and this was too small, we got the size bigger but um, but they're going good. Got a lot of good folks. Got good feedback from folks who want them out scout and one amount burning stuff like that and just you know, give them a good old test run and everything's holding up good, which is good to hear, even though we kind of knew they would. And it's very ensuring to hear it from other folks that they put them through a different route of a ringer than what I might have put them through last season and held up just fine. So got those. Got the new, much a new church, actually kind of this. The theme of this year was kind of kind of holding in some of the more common sayings of turkey hunters and if you're one you've said it a million times, I'm sure that the phrase is like cut from a different cloth and turkey hunters are different and ours. That we've used for years and not subject to change.
Speaker 2:Got that on some comfort colors and other teas and actually got a little deal running on right now for the next, I'd say, a week up until next Monday. If you use code SLP 20, you'll get 20% off all tribe blend teas. So yeah, got plenty of those. Got a decent amount of comfort colors. Both there already have been reordered, so you get on there and they're not in stock. Give it a day or two and they should be stock. We got a kind of little system going here to try to beat the sellouts and stuff. But yeah, hop on a sprintagecom, enter SLP 20 and you'll get 20% off all tribe blend teas up until whatever a week from February 26th is, and that's all we got really.
Speaker 2:Oh that, and we got a couple new hunts on YouTube so we hadn't had a time to really talk about the stuff that we would usually update on. If y'all have been listening to this for a couple years, we kind of start every one of them with little updates and keep folks informed and stuff. But with the influx of you know episodes and we had a week a while back where we put out several right, so we had to build them up and it's kind of hard to keep it up there. I don't know what we got in stock, you know, in three weeks. But um, yeah, we got. We got kind of back on, back in our usual, our usual rhythm here and I'm thinking, you know, like I said, we got some hunts on the YouTube and stuff, and we've got a few more that we're gonna be putting out. Y'all just keep tabs on it. Yeah, I think that's why they invented to subscribe, but not. Y'all should be getting notified.
Speaker 1:I think I'm not a YouTuber that's how it normally works for me. If I'm subscribed, subscribe to the channel. Anytime they drop a new one, it's gonna put it up there in the top one or two, three of four, you, yeah, or whatever that page is, that is on your homepage.
Speaker 2:So that's the the good about subscribing just to folks benefit of that the benefit. Yeah, for free. Um, that's far than I was free, isn't it?
Speaker 1:yeah, okay to make sure, but um, because, I'm subscribed to a few of them on my own yeah, I never heard of a paid subscription on that.
Speaker 2:I heard, I saw them. Uh, the Pinote YouTube was putting out like one a day, almost every day of the week, until like April.
Speaker 2:I'm like Jesus, I'm about to have a bill yeah, you gotta pay to get these, um, because I am subscribed to that and, um, well, sorry but, um, but yep, we got those, and this week I think as soon as we put this podcast up because this is kind of priority since we are late on it I got an Alabama video we're gonna post and that's a pretty good one we're chasing. I went through the ringer I think we talked about it last week or week four and uh, kind of goes into that drum and bar. We were talking about that drums so loudly and or a slap out let me tell you yeah good and rewatching it again last night editing, I'm like man, we got a butt whooped.
Speaker 2:Still came out kind of quote unquote victorious, but I don't know if we really won at the end of it. I was down for a few days after that.
Speaker 1:I don't, I don't think I took you out for a week.
Speaker 2:We're gonna have after that and I don't even know why. I mean, I just physically could like.
Speaker 1:I went home and I know I slept for two days.
Speaker 2:I mean, right now I'm I'm just the most energy I'm gonna have is kinda like you have kids or something, or it's kinda last you officially slept your last good night's sleep. You know, whenever they're born it's kinda the same, to a lesser degree, for turkey season on their eyes.
Speaker 2:I used to love the good night's sleep, at least since March 19th couple years ago, when that proved to be true, but it gets even less when turkey season rolls around and listening time rolls around and you know, the prep season of turkey season is just as busy, honestly, as the hunting part for us, and this was well before spring legion it was. So we're gonna dive in a little bit of that today. A lot of the questions that were submitted to us for the live podcast how to do with preparations, how to do with scouting, how to do with you know what to bring, what to look for, how to find them, all that good stuff. So I mean there's a, I mean there's such a Pandora's box when it comes to finding turkeys. It's hard to even, you know, go into that. But and we've got episodes on that Type in finding turkeys, I'm sure we've got a title or two that has that in there private or public, or late season or early season. But there's a good little old week or two and we're in it and it's probably the week or two that I look forward to most each year because it hadn't started yet and anticipation is really the cup is full.
Speaker 2:Once the season starts, that anticipation starts dwindling down because you're in it, you're in the, you know you're in the fire at that point. But I love the whole preparing. You know, double checking everything and all that good stuff. And if you know me, I'm not a prepareer and I'm not a checker because I get, no matter how much I do, I'm gonna still be missing a glove or something like that. But that is true. But yeah, we're gonna go into. You know, listening stuff. Chase, you've been out actually I think you've just listened this morning but you're running traps. So this is the time we would run our traps, as usually around this, from now until youth weekend and when we ain't got a huge place to cover. So if it starts getting to where we're sitting, I mean, you know nothing's happening. We kind of knocked it on out. It ain't a big spot.
Speaker 1:Right right.
Speaker 2:But yeah, how did that go? Because Chase walked in about three minutes ago. I feel like he's probably got Coons in the back of his truck getting real hot and he's 80 degree wet. Oh yeah, they're getting nice and warm in there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that is the first sleeper too, and the camper shell are always gonna be a little bit funky, smelling from Coons. But now I walked out of the woods at three this morning and anapossum, so it was a stolen dog, proof One pull to stake out which, if you use stakes, you're gonna run into that. Do you really gotta wash the soil you pound?
Speaker 1:it back in a food plot that's been turned over every year for the last. Well, I mean, we didn't turn them over that much anymore, but food plots normally tend to be a little softer ground and that one was right in the middle of a food plot. There was a good catch circle and a stake lay in there and that was it, so good luck climbing a tree, buddy as I can tell you, you'll know when you see him again.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I had one stolen last year so I figured it was coming. Didn't know it was gonna be on the first, first good solid round. I got to put out and put out 22 traps yesterday. So finally got enough covered and inventory caught up Able to get out there and be where I can run them for a couple of days. And that's kind of how I do it. I'll run four or five days and go the last day. If I know it's gonna rain or something, I'll trip all of them and just kind of let it sit for a day or two and then go out there and reset them after the rain and stuff. But walking out with four less nest predators was a good enough first day for me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and 22, that's a lot, so I had no idea.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we normally run Dozenish, yeah, dozen, if we're looking for this is 80 acres.
Speaker 1:Yeah, this is 80 acres. So yeah, so, and two of the sides only had one out of the this 80 acres divided into three sections between houses and roads and different things of that nature, and one section had all but one of those on it. So I feel like that's the side I need to move a few more traps to, probably at this point, which I did find a few traps like Shornuff Coon Trails on the it and I put one or two on that and Creek Crossings, where a log comes across a creek.
Speaker 1:you know spots of that nature, just a little more honking in on that point, that side of the road versus the other side was just kind of along some paths easy to check spots but you ain't gonna catch them if you don't put them out.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, no, you're right about that and I feel like I saw the other day. I was at the co-op and a single dog proof was like $22.
Speaker 1:Good.
Speaker 2:Lord. I was like, hey, I've seen them a lot cheaper. Now I don't know if that's just kind of like for the farmer friends who want one for the backyard. I'm like I saw them and I said I need to grab me a half dozen or something, just to kind of assume in some of the bin laws where we kind of keep ours in a big bundle, you know just a big bucket of them, or a few buckets that we tend to lose and find throughout the year.
Speaker 2:So I was surprised to hear 22. I'm like, oh, I'm glad I didn't find any more. I was right.
Speaker 1:Well, I bought a dozen in the last season, a buddy of ours. I lost his name for the moment now that I got to think of it, but anyways, he invited me up to Kaziasko for a fur auction. Yeah, and they.
Speaker 2:I cannot remember he's a guru.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, he's the trapping guy.
Speaker 2:We've had him on here talking about trapping, is it Justin?
Speaker 1:I think it's a J.
Speaker 2:It's something with a J.
Speaker 1:So sorry if you're listening to this and gosh, it just left me. I said it 10 minutes ago. Yeah, anyways, but one of the little. They have little vendors set up at that thing and they had a box of a dozen for like a hundred bucks and I was like, or a hundred and twenty bucks, maybe, so $10 a trap. I was like, heck, that's a steal, snag me some. So if you, you know complain, you know worried about prices, try to find one of those little auctions.
Speaker 1:You know I'm gonna get a little better deal.
Speaker 2:The best pros got them way cheaper Right right, right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think they're normally 10 to 12, maybe 13 or 14 max.
Speaker 2:Justin Rogers is the Justin Rogers, okay, so I was right with the Justin.
Speaker 1:So it was just drawing me a blank there.
Speaker 2:But yep, so we got the trapping underway and stuff and we're not able to burn that place, but there's a lot of burning going on around here and but aside from the habitat stuff, it's also listening season, Correct, and that is I think you mentioned another day coffee cup on the hood of the truck season, Yep, and it is a very coveted few weeks here. You can't hunt them, so you don't have to stress about it, but it's just a matter of listening to nature. You know, unfold in the mornings. And here's some of the other birds that you don't hear during the winter, and that's just.
Speaker 2:I mean I ain't gotta hear a gobble. I'm out there, I'm like man. I forgot about that bird I forgot about this sound or this. You know the smell of this and that and it feels good. It feels good to be back, but you've been out a couple of times.
Speaker 1:I feel like have you heard any? I have not. That's right. Yeah, we're chugging along, yeah, and this early in the year, sometimes they're gonna gobble, sometimes they're not conditions kinda gotta be perfect for them A lot more dependent on that.
Speaker 1:I did see a herd I not heard a handful of them close to the little least yesterday morning and it looked like a lawn beard out there with a group of hens already. So they're getting right, I feel. And you know, of course I couldn't hunt that place, so I didn't wanna pull over and see if he would gobble even though I thought about it. But, yeah if I knew he was there and couldn't hunt him. That would just hurt me more.
Speaker 2:He wasn't not hearing one Right.
Speaker 1:So which I was running late in it. That kind of proved to me that they were already on the ground. So I got out of the truck, hooded about three times and grabbed the bucket of dog birds and rolled.
Speaker 2:Don't blame me there, but we had a good bit of folks talking about listening and someone came up to me I think it was a starfall and asked he just got a new track of land and wanted to quote, unquote, check, take an inventory or something like that.
Speaker 2:He was getting around to. How do you listen for turkeys to see if they're there to hunt in the first place? Pretty much is what the meat potatoes of his curiosity was, and this is just a good point. We don't know if we've ever really talked about that specifically. I mean it's not much different than you would in the season. You know I like listening for turkeys for the sake of, like I just mentioned just hearing the other birds and drinking coffee in the morning. I just know. You know all is right in the world, it seems, for a very finite few weeks before the chaos kicks off. Other than that, I would rather listen with a gun in my hand.
Speaker 2:I just right you know, I just don't trust turkeys that much that just because I know one, it could be 14 goblin here on March 13th. I don't trust that they're in there on March 15th when I can't take. You know, it's just kind of I might listen up until I mean, within the days of me being able to hunt, I will listen to see. But other than that I'm listening for you know, a bird to hunt that day. Just you know the pleasure of hearing a turkey.
Speaker 2:Oh, more than anything you know and, like you said, you know I can go and listen and see if I don't hear one, just the same reciprocate. That trust is there. I don't trust that there's not one there. I'm still going to probably listen there if it's an option, right.
Speaker 1:Right, yeah, it's not necessarily crossing line, crossing spots off the list, it's just kind of enjoying the spots you kind of already want to check. Yeah, you know there may have been a bird here. Last year At some point I heard him. Let's see if he's goblin, today? Not necessarily in here or not, it's if he's goblin.
Speaker 2:Yeah, kind of more, and and it's good, I mean, and you kind of accidentally hit on a lot of the benefit of me going to listen. A lot of times happens, not in the listening, but seeing turkeys doing something that lets me know they're end up here. There's four long beards. I see them in the field or something.
Speaker 2:I see them struggling, he ends, or I see him A lot of times. I'll be strutting together. The goblin are still kind of grouped up and you can kind of, if you ride by the right spot I'm kind of talking about public here, because you can't really ride by anywhere on the private spot when you're on it right If you ride by and you see four or something you know there's four in there you ride by and you see one at this time of year with a bunch of hands Like he's using toton's and damage on his birds or there ain't three more kind of deal. So kind of let you know that how to approach it. Yeah, this is more so.
Speaker 1:This is a good time of year to take inventory visually.
Speaker 2:my opinion, and it's usually by accident, and it's riding just happen.
Speaker 1:You just need to be. It's just going to listen at this time of year is an excuse to be out there. Yeah to to stumble into stuff like that, that you kind of be like all right, you know. Now I do know there's some in the area that may be, you know, on my property or close to my property. When they go to breaking up, one might end up on my property, Something of that nature.
Speaker 2:But which and and and I'm kind of when I go I'm listening. You know public land really, because we got this 80 acres but for the last 10 years bricks had first crack at it and I'm assuming the eleventh year he's going to do yeah.
Speaker 2:So, and I did get a draw for a WMA around here, so we got some men, just got somewhere to hunt open in morning, yeah. And so now the focus kind of shifts to that place and is a place that I'm actually kind of familiar with. So I don't really have to do as much. You know, figure now figuring out the place as much. But I remember when I did it was a lot of is this a thicket, is this a pasture, is this hardwoods, which you know there's? You know you got all the stuff like that now and that kind of helps with that. But I'm still a little old school and I want to see eyes, but I was on it just the trust factor of just because that says this, for that. I mean they have all kinds of features now that they don't even think they had.
Speaker 2:You know, years ago when I was first looking at it, but I like to go down and go around, put eyes on it and see what a turkey living this, what a turkey not living this, without necessarily getting out and walking through it. You know, it's just a real rough estimate of you know the area. And then another thing I do is kind of, I'd say, about a week out at least, if I'm going to be able to look at it, I'm going to start dropping, you know, a pin on the gates that are closed and the gates that are open. Just to you know, start building my options up Right.
Speaker 1:And that's that's one of the places that I've listened on public. There is a gate that is open some days and not other days and. I'm just like you know, of course, the day is that I've tried to hunt it in the past, where days I've made the 40 minute detour to bank on that gate being open and it wasn't. And I'm like, and I come through the next day because I hunted a different area and it's wide open I always get out and check, make sure it ain't, just the wind ain't quote, unquote blown it closed because usually that's a good spot if the wind is blown.
Speaker 2:It closed, oh yeah, but that gate got shaken a few times.
Speaker 1:No, I did call call the gates bluff.
Speaker 2:one morning or one afternoon, and I might not have been at the same spot, I don't remember the same little piece but thought somebody was trying to be slick and closed it because the turkey was down there. So I like just pushed it back open and like somebody was being a good Samaritan and closed it because I had no business being on the road about.
Speaker 1:I mean, I still think I need to act on my truck because I'm like this is why.
Speaker 2:And then I couldn't turn around and it was it was a rough several hours and up to about 1130 night.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so you didn't get on with midnight the night.
Speaker 2:I feel like it's one of them like man, it's probably you know somebody works here close that gate and I'm not going to call somebody and say, hey, I only did what you tried to help us out with. And now I'm the idiot this you know neck deep in some kind of big hole that's been dug out here. So I wasn't going to do that, but I finally I mean it took a long time and put some damage. You know I still kind of dug on bumper track and ground from it. I ain't got fix yet. But yeah, I learned my lesson there.
Speaker 2:But if I'm listening for turkeys and this is real kind of transitioning to listening with a little bit of intent listening with a gun on your shoulder could apply to both Very well could do this without a gun on your shoulder, preseason stuff. If you're on land, you can just get out there or I mean doing public land too, no matter, as long as you got permission to be on it. Regardless getting out there and I like to find a. This is what I told the gentleman who asked me about it. I'm just going to kind of get back into that story. I told him, you know, I'm much rather have a long, long, long rage that I can walk down to maximize my most efficient route that I can listen off of. You know you kind of build a long rage and we're Mississippi, keep that in mind, it applies to at least half of America though. Find a big, long rage or something like that that kind of has finger ridges coming off of it.
Speaker 2:You know, with you know multiple hollows, multiple spots of Turkey could be this is assuming it's the same stuff on your left and your right and in front and behind you. You know I like to get on that. Find a good spot, start at the highest. You might start on the turkeys. Oh, something we've done that before Seals nine. You know we start at the spot is most likely for them to roost Hold there above us. You know, and this is when we're hunting and that's not a great grant game plan is getting where you can hear that spot is a good game plan. But, um, but if I'm up in there listening, I'm trying to get on something long that I can. I can start listening at the one end and walk to the other end and hear as much as possible. I can hear to my right, several, you know, several hundred yards.
Speaker 2:I got to get in there, take a few steps down, you know, get on the side of the ridge and I can hear a lot more here underneath the you know, the canopy a little more and also kind of eliminate some static and stuff that's on the left side of the ridge, and then as soon as I either do or don't hear something, I'll kind of hop back over and get on the left side and listen on this holla, walk up a couple hundred yards, if you're hooting or whatever, have at it or you know, let nature kind of take its course. I like don't like to influence anything without a gun in my hand. If I can help it, I'm not as much even with a gun in my hand. I don't like to really hoot that much.
Speaker 1:But For now is there.
Speaker 2:He's gonna hoot but I've had to do it a couple times. Right, you just need to hurry them gobble.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's I mean. My patience runs thin some mornings.
Speaker 2:I'm like. I I gotta try, yeah, and.
Speaker 1:I hoot a lot more than you do. I really do. Just because it's I don't, I don't see any harm in it. 90% time that's I've walked under birds hooting. Oh yeah 50 yards from them just to keep pinpointing them so I can keep moving. Sometimes don't suggest it all the time, right, you know, there is it if certain scenarios that I've had to, like I got a really figure out if he's on the side of that. Ridge or the other because I'm either about sit down or Keep moving need to make a loop real quick and I don't back out or something.
Speaker 2:I don't blame you on that. I mean, if situation like that I'm gonna have to do something, make me go ball. Well, the only I'm never really, unless you're just on a beeline hooting. You know, like an owl. Don't just walk straight line up to a turkey in the hallway.
Speaker 2:I mean, you could booger them that way. But other than that, the only reason I don't like it is I don't like to influence what they might do. Anyway, I base a lot of what I'm about to do next off of what they want to do. Much, let you know, more so than what they could potentially do. I'd much, rather than you know, move one of their chess pieces and say this is how, this is my temp on influence. Right, I'm on fire, without being heated up if that makes sense. And then I know, hey, I'm working with something that you know I can probably get closer. I can probably you know he's feeling it regardless To a snapping might make him think it's turkey, not a, you know a predator. Right, they're real cold and you're trying to slip in there and you know his nudes, probably Halfway up at best kind of deal. He ain't really feeling it that much already. He's already kind of on high alert and you break it with you might be gone.
Speaker 2:You know it's kind of half full, half empty. I like to just have that in the back of my mind. Once I get a good grasp on what he's doing anyway, how he's feeling anyway, then I ain't got a problem with it. But yeah, you know, if you ain't gonna hunt him that particular morning, here's how, listening, I'd say Whatever you can listen to this a very finite period, right there.
Speaker 2:I mean you only have a few minutes, so right you here and I'm the type if I hear one gobble I might wait on second gobble. I'm probably gonna go try to see if I can hear something else. I mean, I like listening from a distance, I don't like getting up in them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I mean I'm. Unless I have a gun in my hand, I'm not getting anywhere close to him. If I'm not helping, I'm staying three, four hundred yards back at the minimum.
Speaker 2:Does no good to know what tree there is that day because he's gonna be in a different tree tomorrow. Yeah.
Speaker 1:But like, yeah, I mean, as far as moving in on one, it's like I did it last year. I, I have thrown up a soft, you know, real quiet and you know, I do pay attention to my hood, I'm not gonna full volume it, you know, from the ground. I'm gonna turn my back to him, echo my hands the other way and try and make it sound like it's coming from a hundred yards behind me. Real quiet. I've done that before. Just just an idea to throw out there.
Speaker 2:If somebody's in an area. I don't stop hooting it a to him either if I'm not gonna need a hooting, I need to say you just trying to shotgun.
Speaker 1:Right, yeah, I'll who till lunch, or so right yeah, if I'm dark. I mean yeah, if you need to.
Speaker 2:I've heard hours of the day. But, but if I'm just trying to get a hand alone Listening for a turkey with a little intent to check and then to receive what's in there and stuff, I'm trying to maximize a my options of turkeys to hunt and be the kind of places I can go. So if I can knock out this old egg on track this whole, you know, square area of however many x miles or feet or however, yeah, if I don't have a gun, I like to cross it off, across it on.
Speaker 1:If I double one, maybe two times, and burden there trying to spot.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and just, and it's finding, and that's the premeditated part, that the only part that I know of that you can kind of Prepare to you know, before actually getting out there, is Finding you that that long ridge or that long something that you can get on, and and of course, if you've got a big field, it's got. You know, think, perimeter, you've got a very big surface area right there on the border of it that you can hear from one spot, right, you know where can I get and not have to move at all and listen and not be seen.
Speaker 2:You know, and, um, that's nothing. If I go out there and I'm just, you know, cranking out all my locators and stuff and it's not really needed, right, and then I come back in a few days and then try to do it again, I just I get a weird feeling about that. I don't like that.
Speaker 1:No, yeah.
Speaker 2:I agree with that. Um, if I do need them. I hate to have expired that kind of artillery, so to speak.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but because I'm sure there is times they get sick of hooting at an owl. Hmm, yeah, they can get burnt out. Oh yeah, there's a goblin and yelper yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah. But, um, I was. You got me twisted there. I don't know which part you meant to say and what part you got back.
Speaker 1:You said hooting at an owl, I'm like oh yeah, you come up people. They can get tired of the goblin and an owl.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's the second part. Kind of clarified it Sorry but um. But? But now I mean, aside from, like, listening to the turkeys is, you know, it's, it's also a bunch of other preparations that we're currently doing. Um, it's, you know, unrelated spring legion. This is just us being turkey hunters. You know, this is our favorite time of the year too, and it has been a little different these past few years, having to abide by Hectic schedule that aligns with this time of year by choice, and we signed up for it you know.
Speaker 2:But you know we don't get to just thoroughly enjoy the prep season stuff. It's a lot of stuff just been thrown on Amazon cart if we need it, you know. And then a lot of stuff we'll we'll realize here, possibly in a week or so. If we head down to Florida. We're kind of waiting on those Results there or some applications, and if we get those it's gonna take some stars lining for a seals chase and out of all Get a good, good news email. Here should be tomorrow.
Speaker 2:Something I think is what seal said then um, you know, if we get a you know drawing for something down there, we're gonna pack up and go and there's really gonna be, you know yeah, some cramming going on but but there's a couple things that I you know that I'm just sitting here looking at some Jotted down notes on napkin that I've got in my current Online carts and stuff and it's just a little stuff like deep. I carried deep with me and I I go through a couple pair of gloves each year. I got had a lucky pair of gloves. I lost them, I want to say, in Florida a couple years ago, the last time I got to wear them. That had been with me for a good Handful of seasons I think, and they were, I mean, only the last leg. So I, even if I went to stent without killing one after that I probably be still in Florida looking for them, but Didn't see much a change in my look or after losing them.
Speaker 2:So I'm alright with them. But now I've changed them about seven times. I keep ripping them and losing one and having the other, and I the last bar, I shall ask you. I was wearing a pair of those like rubber dipped mechanic gloves about the gas station because I had nothing left. So I just went and found a black pair of gloves and rubbed like, stuck my hand in a like the edge of a creek, yeah, to put like mud on them and cut the fingers off, and they're like that rubber bottom on the palm. You know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2:Um, yes, I mean I'm. I need a new pair of gloves, but that and then it's um Got me. One of them Was the hydropath water bladder things that just cut a hole in my vest and stuck it hose to there. That's a game changer. I ain't a lot.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was kind of one.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was against it what you got a dick, since they don't cut a hole in your dick. So throw it down on water bladder in there, please, All right but um but I don't mind.
Speaker 2:Pretty ragged and used up, pretty good and and ain't nothing for me to Poke a hole in there and run something through it or so something to it. But I was kind of against it. I don't know. I feel like I tried it one time years ago and I was like this is stupid, stale or similar. It's loud, it's annoying. Someone told me you have to clean on. But if you get drink to the water enough and you know if you're hunting every day, it's pretty built.
Speaker 2:I know it doesn't get stale or stagnant as much as you're just on every couple weeks.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think that was like I had one at one point and that was my issue of, so I never remembered a poor water out, Let it dry you know, especially as a weekend hunter yeah, not hunting every day of the season, or, you know, at least every other day or something like that? Like the water would Get nasty in there and I just got more worried about getting sick.
Speaker 2:Yeah, then any, I'm not gonna say it doesn't, because I don't really know yet, but last year I ran through At least once a day. I was refilling it, so I don't think it was ever just sitting there getting all bacteria and stuff.
Speaker 1:Right, and that's another thought. You know and this is just from outside, looking in, since I don't use them really they're like 12 bucks.
Speaker 2:I said 13, get a new one every year?
Speaker 1:Yeah, don't. That's not something to save for the rest until next year? Oh no, I ain't using the one I had last year. That sucker gonna be nice.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're literally. I think when I got was $13 on Amazon. Right, you know I got 30 of them because I know I'm on need and I'm bad about that. If it's under 20 bucks and I need to, it needs some maintenance. Yeah, I'm probably not. Another one is under 20 bucks just to start from scratch and save the time that, and then Got me a New sling from a gun I think sitting up here. That's one of those the claw you know talking about. No, you should you do.
Speaker 1:You probably have one the grippy kind yeah, okay, yeah, I didn't know what that was called. Who makes it? Um, they just always show up at my house, you know. Yeah, they are down or something probably.
Speaker 2:But I got a thinner version this year because we got my dad one and I put it on just for a second.
Speaker 1:I'm like that go my like this better.
Speaker 2:So this is like an inch and I have wide. I like it a lot.
Speaker 1:It's kind of like my Dixon's traps.
Speaker 2:Right yeah, the same material, same quite quick, quick incorporated or something I don't know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think it does say quake yeah, Dixon yeah, I think I did notice that last year.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I feel like it's kind of the unofficial official Turkey sling, turkey gun sling of always. I'm out of all, is that one and know how to folks. I know they've always had one when they started, but I got it.
Speaker 1:That's something I got to add to my list as a sling, because I had some like duck, hunt and sling that had. It was like four layers of foam. You know, something is just what I had that had at the house. I'm the world's worst about keeping a sling on a gun.
Speaker 1:I have like two slings and probably 30 guns and Whatever season it is one of them slings gonna be you got 30 slings to go right and see so, but about halfway through the year that that Dixon, having that, that hard rubber on or not hard rubber, the grippy rubber on it, ate away at the like nylon or something on it. So now it slides everywhere because I didn't got what's supposed to be the grip. It wore a hole in it, and so I got to get A sling.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I think at the end of the year I was using like a three dollar pretty much belt. You know it was terrible.
Speaker 2:I've used that yellow rope before. Oh yeah, more than once, I promise you Right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I've got a paracord in the bottom of my gun safe that I've had to tie up in a bind and stuff and yeah.
Speaker 2:But if the opportunity is there, I'm taking my sling off of my gun. If I'm setting up, which is a little rarer than not me sitting there for a. I know I'm going to be here for a while. I would merge or my sling be off of my gun. I'm sitting down hunting the turkey.
Speaker 1:See, what I do is I take my sling and I put it over my left knee and droop it in the middle of my leg, so it's halfway up. So it's because I got little bony knees so I can't rest a gun on my knee.
Speaker 2:So that's my water, gun water, your kneecap, it really is.
Speaker 1:Like I hate to brag. Yeah it sucks, but it is what it is, and my kneecap is about as pointy as a dang number two pencil. So I don't really have that option and I've tried the little little saddle looking thing that you can clip to your knee, but my leg being so small, it ends up on my ankle. It doesn't adjust that small.
Speaker 1:It doesn't, yeah. So what I have found to do and if you have small knees you can try this sit up against your wall or tree or whatever and you just throw your sling over the outside of your left leg and it keeps it kind of close and I sense it up a lot of time.
Speaker 1:I move the tightness of it all through the seats and if I sit down I normally sense it all the way up and set it right there, and then it's right on the left side of the inside of my left knee where my hand is normally rested either way. So if a turkey surprises me, I ain't got to come out of my lap and spin the gun. It's pretty much pointed in front of me. I just got to lift it up over my knee and turn left or right and shoot the turkey if needed. Just a little more preparation of sitting there.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I've had it happen too much, where I'm sitting there with it in my lap, knees flat on the ground and all of a sudden uh-oh, yup, he's at eight yards.
Speaker 2:My knees. I was blessed to have knees wider than the width of a shotgun barrel, but it will balance on there all right, but I do if I can't take my sling off. I'm bad about grabbing my sling. I don't like it dangling because I don't like potential problems If I've got a turkey coming in too. I mean, the first line of defense against a problem is eliminate that problem.
Speaker 1:And that grows for everything.
Speaker 2:I do that, not just turkey hunting, but everything. If it's a potential problem and I'm going to have to fix it, I'm going to fix it before it becomes a problem and I'm going to exile it, get rid of it completely.
Speaker 1:And I do hold mine up against the stock or whatever the pump on my gun I do try to do that or hold it with my pinky finger and then hold the rest of my gun, because last year we're filming and stuff. You know, I run that little camera on a monopod. That's about where my knees are, but it's about as high as my knees are, so I can swing right over it Normally.
Speaker 2:Guns caught that camera one time and it hung me up where I couldn't spend all the way right and I said, well, I got to work on that the only downfall by holding the sling is if you miss, because then you can't pump, and that's happened to me before and that is why I hold it with my pinky part, because usually the recoil kind of just, you know, shoot your arm back into the pump real quick.
Speaker 2:And I remember a couple of years ago it did it and I was holding the sling and the sling don't pump. So I had to, like you know, get my hand out of it and then grab the pump on my gun, chuck shell and then shoot again. I was like that was a wild two and a half seconds of my life right there.
Speaker 2:Didn't know what was going on, wasn't shooting again and stuff. You can't comprehend that in that moment. But yeah, so I have from just little things. Nick Natch, we got on the waste handpapers and all that good stuff. Yeah, a lot of mines New mouth call. I kind of get a new mouth, call every year.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I always get a mouth call or two and I try to re learn how to call with my mouth.
Speaker 2:every year, and every year I wind up open a day. Go back to always doing it. Try to just change every single thing I've ever done with a mouth call, thinking like surely this is the secret, this is the trick. No, I think I get progressively worse the more I try to change it up and you know, if I would never, ever, ever practice which I don't practice much, I ain't a lot of me Right. The more I've noticed, the more I try to practice calling on a mouth call, the worse I get on a mouth call. I keep trying to do something that I can't or try to make a mountain kind of deal when I get a turkey gobbling.
Speaker 2:it goes back to most memory.
Speaker 1:Oh, here's how you use one.
Speaker 2:There you go. So I mean I buy like 10, probably mouth calls, and just you know, I'll kind of check them because they are all a little bit different and I'll kind of mark on the old case like this one's good, this is bad. These are in case of emergency calls. Yeah, and I keep those separate.
Speaker 1:They're decent enough to use, but don't use it until you lose your other three. You know that's, that's a big thing I keep in my truck, or you? Know in the glove box out of the sun.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I got them everywhere.
Speaker 1:Or in the back pouch of my vest or something you know. There's always one or two floating around in there that I've, you know, last year's call or something of that nature Get you out of a pinch call.
Speaker 2:Now, yesterday I conditioned my boots. I got some, you know, waterproofing boot conditioner. That's very valuable. I started this few years ago with a. I had some snake boots and Daners that leaked like a son of a gun. I mean I've got a thing of like the Kiwi brand see them Walmart and Kroger and stuff. They've got a silicone waterproofing spray. That is the real Decom deal. Yeah, you put one coat on there, let it dry and it's good for about a good five days of walking through. Some do, which is good. That's like I don't. Somebody did say they sprayed it on the gators to make sure it wasn't messing them up, because some of that stuff will kind of like deep, you know you don't want to get on a wrap of your gun and stuff.
Speaker 2:They sprayed the cam, like let me know how that goes, cause I definitely didn't run that. You know, run that through the checklist. They sprayed some silicone, you know, waterproofing stuff on there, and cause I mean I waterproof everything If I can. I like, I'm like I'm not tight, I get it in my hand. I guess it was painting the door over here and I was like painting underneath the deck, you know, just cause I had a paint brush in my hand by my eyes will knock this out while I'm here, in case I don't know what, in case for.
Speaker 2:But but if I got that thing I'm waterproofing. I mean the dog better not walk by me because if I still got some of them, just kind of like, I better waterproof my truck seats, better waterproof this and that and everything, but I'll waterproof my vest, my boots, but yeah, and I'm probably gonna waterproof my gators after a while, just to double check, make sure, right, cause everything that is waterproof is coated in waterproof coating more times than not, unless it's rubber, you know, or I don't know, some leather, I think is waterproof, I don't know. But anyway, you know, rain jacket, you have all that stuff unless it's the actual plastic right. You know solid matter.
Speaker 1:This is still waterproof, it's coated in.
Speaker 2:I think ours is like like D6 or 6D DWR, 100% waterproof coating, you know right, and it's just pretty much the same thing. I don't know what. The somehow or another, that's what makes stuff like that breathable. You know, waterproof coating on the outside, but the what's it called, not membrane or something. The hole that the air can get out of is smaller than a water molecule.
Speaker 2:That's the quote unquote, secret to. I'm not gonna say Gore-Tex I think that's trademark but a lot of stuff that is, you know, breathable yet waterproof. That's kind of their Right, just tighter.
Speaker 1:Tighter woven Right Pretty much.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know how the stitching part works, but I don't.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't either.
Speaker 2:But yeah, so I'm gonna. I coat everything my boot, but I condition them too and I'll amigranges, you know the rubber and stuff, that's. That's the main thing is you look them, things sit out with mud on, let them dry. You just hop back in them in March after sitting through the heat in the summer and stuff, especially if you didn't deer hunt them in them.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, you're probably gonna crack. You'll find some weeks real quick.
Speaker 2:Yep, and I've had, you know, same pairs of boots before and if, as long as I throw some conditioner of some type on there, some kind of oil, right, or yeah. I mean there's like creams to it and oil and you know.
Speaker 1:Saddle soap.
Speaker 2:I used to say I used to just use saddle soap and I think I dried it out worse. I thought that was the conditioner. Yeah, when I was younger, I used to just saddle soap everything same thing.
Speaker 1:I cleaned everything with saddle soap for a couple years of my life.
Speaker 2:Um, just because I found a little tin of it somewhere. Yeah and um, but not you got to put some conditioner back over. That definitely you know and that'll keep the stuff running for years. Yeah, if I'd have done it on my snake boots, they wouldn't even need this silicone spray probably, and I would still do it just to for the stitch hole sake.
Speaker 1:But right something. Something else just popped my head that I do to my turkey vest if I have any zippers on it. Yeah, is I take bow wax, bow string wax. And I wax the zippers beginning of the year and I normally don't have any hang up problems from pretty much the whole year, unless I sit out through a rainstorm or get it. You know, mud caked in them, um, and I learned that trick back when we were wearing some zip up boots, mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:You know you hated them and I mean there was days that I yeah, you still hate, you still talk bad about them. And I love that pair of boots, yeah, because they were just very comfortable. It if you got mud in them you were gonna deal with it. Mm-hmm, I just pretty much. There was a lot of mornings, I'll just wore them on home hit the water hose and then some wd-40 and.
Speaker 1:Then took them off and pliers, yeah. But I learned with that I actually took a candle out of a jack-o-lantern like the little jack-o-lantern candle and rubbed it down. It's like some old man told me, like you ever waxed a zipper, like because I was chit chatting with him at the co-op or something he's like you didn't put like candle wax on them, I'm like all right.
Speaker 1:So I waited on a hot day and Waxed it and sure enough, didn't have near about the number of issues with those boots. Still had issues with those boots, but Not necessarily the number of them.
Speaker 2:That's a good point.
Speaker 1:But you know, you got a fanny pack, you got a camera bag, anything that nature. It's gonna be getting tossed around, or your vest has zippers on it. Throw you a little, they make it in chapstick. Right things and I keep one of them in my turkey vest and deer back, deer backpack.
Speaker 2:And.
Speaker 1:I've even used it on my deer, my filming deer hunts and whatever my tripod where it squeaks. If it'll squeak plastic, plastic, if I can get a piece of that wax in there and push in there. Hmm, it it actually helped.
Speaker 2:I believe that in a pinch.
Speaker 1:You know, and I've done that with the, the tree arm and stuff like that I've. I wax it all the time. So that's a little something, something I always buy another stick of beginning of season.
Speaker 2:Yes so um, just thought about I. I forgot about that. We've done it before, but that's a good on them zipper stuff. Um, Because I got my guys them pesky zippers in my my vest too.
Speaker 1:Oh you're gonna have them, and if you don't zip them up, you're gonna lose everything.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, yeah, I'm probably still gonna find a way to do that Right. So from that um, let's see, do get. I'm permetering my clothes. I might wait until right before you know. I might want to see what the draw results are for south Florida before I spray me, for me through and then Just throw it back in the box. I'd like that to be a little fresher, if possible. I really just permit the mind I'll do this and then I'll have a mace swing, you know, around may I'll go off. You know they take a trip and I'll Kind of uh for me to them, them. I thought you said a mace.
Speaker 1:Mace wing a mace wing with pepper spray and stuff now like hold up.
Speaker 2:Um, no, a swing in, may you know. You know, kind of like a half point. Reaper me through them then. And um, of course, if I'm washing my clothes and it's probably just in water.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I really got to. Yeah, because, even though turkeys can't smell, don't use detergent. They will make it, they will make them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, and not I mean technically, not all detergent will. But if you're Going to be washing my laundry mat or something like that right on the road or something I went through every little of those you put a 75 cents in and crank the thing and it can give you a thing of tide, or you know, gain or something you know, I first they got the little ingredients or can you know, inactive something, inactive ingredients maybe, but Fragrance enhancers, color brightener stuff, like that.
Speaker 2:A lot stuff's gonna have some, you know, uv value to it and turkeys can see the spectrum of ultraviolet and you're not gonna see it right, but a bird can, and that kind of explains. A few times when I was younger, I'd be wearing something that I'd wash with my you know, my, my school shirt and tried to whiten it on up with some UV brightners that are in this.
Speaker 2:You know, fancy, cool procter and gamble little bottle just advertising everything and um Turkey. Actually, that's all. Oh yeah, they saw it, you were hidden yeah and I'm glowing bright purple right to that turkey and then and I do that, man, I'm, I'm, I'm pretty Aggravated, aggravated about it, that's even a word, like I got a black light, flash light in my like turkey bag.
Speaker 2:And if I'm hunting with somebody that I don't know and I'm looking at something like that. It's a cool little logo you got on your dry fit something right there but uh click me a little light on yeah. Okay, that's glowing orange, so we're probably gonna have to cover that up or take it off.
Speaker 1:You're gonna get cold, buddy. Yeah, you ain't wearing that jacket, right?
Speaker 2:Yeah, and a lot of screen print and we do that on everything we got right you know, if it's potentially could be worn hunting, I'm gonna hit it with that. You know, uv thing. I don't like wearing those, the the dry fit stuff, because you know, putting screen print on it it's a Toss up it could be.
Speaker 2:it could not take some or some art with us, yeah, but you know Pants, shoes, everything, hat and undershirts, like you wearing a white undershirt, you kind of beast and like, as far as I'm not that gone, biologist or I don't even know what this, because I'm kind of scientist studies the light spectrum, but I don't. I think you got to be in the sun for that, like that's. Another benefit of setting shade is not to necessarily be like hidden in the Humanized aspect, but it keeps the sun from potentially brightening glow in your little bit.
Speaker 1:Yeah and glares.
Speaker 2:And if you really break it down and you go look at plants or something. The greens are different under UV, like certain plants are way brighter than the yeah, the plant next to them, and you take that off and they just both look the exact same shade of green.
Speaker 1:I don't.
Speaker 2:I don't understand it.
Speaker 1:Obviously I can't see it, yeah, but um, yeah, I mean, I remember throwing the black light outside and you know you can see some grasses glow a little bit different than the other grass.
Speaker 2:You know, and I think that's why a lot of old-timers, they just sit in the shade, because if the sun is not on you, you know that's where it comes from is the brightness of the sun. You might be hidden, quote unquote, and have a really thick green backdrop behind you, leaves and everything. But if that thing goes a lot different than the absence of it in your clothes kind of the opposite you still have a silhouette sitting there, you know.
Speaker 2:So sitting in the shade just kind of eliminates that. But I ain't gonna start talking about stuff I don't ain't 100% sure.
Speaker 1:I mean it's just a precision for the most part, but but we don't yeah, I mean. Everything I can attempt to try and help.
Speaker 2:I'm trying to help, but that and then we're getting our trucks ready, chase. I think we're going to do an episode on our trucks.
Speaker 2:Right right because it is a work of art and a work in progress. How we try to, you know, stay as long as we can or in trucks and avoid having to buy hotels and stuff. I'm pretty pretty good about it because I don't sleep much and I can sleep on the asphalt if I got to. I don't. I'm not particular um Chase. He drives Tacoma, so he's a little smaller. He has to be a little more space. Efficient minds usually just throw them stuff thrown in there and I'm gonna hold off on mine and do I might try to incorporate some kind of video, um, for a youtube page.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I can catch them pretty time here soon to do that. But I mean, you're kind of getting your truck prepped up, ain't you?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm starting to find you know, fine stuff that I've stashed away and things of that nature. I've mine's a little more built out, so I'd like you know it'll. It'll say I mean, we're sitting at what? 52 minutes on this? Oh yeah, it would take a whole episode to explain what all I've done, because I spent about two years building it out and it's nothing crazy, it's very.
Speaker 1:I'm a very minimalistic build out, built out truck. I mean it's very To the right, yeah, to the point, or you know whatever you want to say, but, um, yeah, I mean I try to throw it. You know, do an inventory, check it out, see what I need.

Now, Like five days later, came back to get my some brake pads put on and they just like free offer to rotate my tires. So then I went to another whole season. I'm like I'm just not. As soon as I pulled up I went take on it. You know they like didn't miss all excited mentioned it the last time I was there like a new worker came in when the day actually came in to get rotated and I remember me needing them rotated and so you rotate it, and they took five days later.
