Ep 75: Are These Turkey Hunting Myths Holding You Back?

Mike Hemby/Holden Gilmer

In this episode, we revisit a conversation that started back in Episode 35—diving deep into the world of turkey hunting myths and old wives’ tales that have been passed down through generations. From "you can't kill a gobbler in the rain" to "turkeys won’t come downhill," we put these myths under the microscope.

We did some digging and found a great article by Josh Honeycutt published in Outdoor Life that sheds light on many of these long-standing beliefs. Backed by research and field experience, Josh outlines how many of these myths have been disproven and offers updated strategies that can improve your success this spring.

🦃 In This Episode:

  • Breaking down popular turkey hunting myths
  • What the research and real-world evidence actually says
  • Key takeaways from Josh Honeycutt’s Outdoor Life article
  • Practical strategies you can apply in the woods this season
  • A few of our own personal stories and lessons learned the hard way

If you’re heading into the turkey woods this spring, this is an episode you don’t want to miss. Let’s separate fact from fiction and make this your best turkey season yet.
