Speaker 1: My name is Clay Nucomb and this is a production
Speaker 1: of the Bear Grease podcast called The Bear Grease Render,
Speaker 1: where we render down, dive deeper, and look behind the
Speaker 1: scenes of the actual bear Grease podcast.
Speaker 2: Brought to you by Takova's Boots. I'm a cowboy.
Speaker 1: Boot man and I've been wearing Takovis for years with
Speaker 1: the most comfortable boot I've ever put on.
Speaker 2: Good boots for good times.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bear Grease Render, presented by Takoba's Western
Speaker 1: Wearing Boots. I'm in the Takovi's hot seat right now.
Speaker 1: But on this render, we're actually in Mississippi on a
Speaker 1: camp on the Mississippi River with my good friends Lake
Speaker 1: Pickle Backwood University and Jordan bliss It. And these guys
Speaker 1: I've decided are probably some of the best turkey hunters
Speaker 1: that I have ever turkey hunted with. And on this
Speaker 1: render we're talking all about turkey hunting. We're talking about
Speaker 1: some missus, we're talking about some successful hunts, and it's
Speaker 1: just a good podcast. I also want to tell you
Speaker 1: about Blood Trails season two by my friend Jordan Sellers.
Speaker 1: It's a true crime podcast about hunting and fishing. He
Speaker 1: does an incredible job. I mean, I've listened to every
Speaker 1: episode and I've been riveted by every episode, and I
Speaker 1: think you will too. And it premieres April sixteenth. I
Speaker 1: hope you enjoy this podcast. I'll be sitting here in
Speaker 1: the Tacos hot seat. We're at a camp on the
Speaker 1: Mississippi River in the state of Mississippi. We are for
Speaker 1: those of you not watching the YouTube channel, we are
Speaker 1: actually sitting at a poker table. What I mean, am
Speaker 1: I correct?
Speaker 2: This is a poker tabe.
Speaker 3: What would Judy Newcomb think about this exactly?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I hope she doesn't watch, but we we do have.
Speaker 1: We've got Lake and Lacy Pickle with us. Lacy, this
Speaker 1: is your second time on the Beargershrender it is. Yes, Yes,
Speaker 1: We're expecting great things from you on today's episode. Funny stories, energy,
Speaker 1: intel in the Lake Pickle's life, the truth, the truth, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the truth about Lake Pickle and uh.
Speaker 4: So it's great to have you, Lacey.
Speaker 5: Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: Yes, Lake's good to have you man. Thanks, uh and
Speaker 1: Jordan blessed yep, proud to be here. So you guys,
Speaker 1: so you've you've been on a have you been on
Speaker 1: a render.
Speaker 4: Yeah, several of them, I think so. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think you have to.
Speaker 6: Thank you were a really low on clientele and you yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: And then we've got Josh Lambridge Spilmaker over there.
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, I'm here, always here.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, well okay.
Speaker 1: What I would like to do is if everybody could
Speaker 1: just pull out the stack of poker chips.
Speaker 7: And.
Speaker 2: Every time that.
Speaker 1: Josh's trip to Patagonia comes up, I want everybody to
Speaker 1: put a chip on the table.
Speaker 7: We didn't do that in Pedagonya, and I guess it
Speaker 7: happened once, okay, And then every time that the turkey
Speaker 7: hunt from today that involves Lake that we'll hear about
Speaker 7: later comes up, we'll put another chip on the table.
Speaker 2: Jordan, is there.
Speaker 1: Anything that you would what? What topics do you think
Speaker 1: are gonna come up on this episode? This episode is
Speaker 1: about turkey Hunt. That's what it's about. We're in the peak.
Speaker 1: I mean, you could argue that April the eighth, the
Speaker 1: day we're recording this is as good a day as
Speaker 1: there is a turkey hunt.
Speaker 4: You're in the throes.
Speaker 8: You could say that it is supposed to be the
Speaker 8: peak rood of Mississippi and the Turkey rut peak.
Speaker 1: When would you say, because the Turkey season opens early
Speaker 1: in Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi. I mean Florida opens March first,
Speaker 1: south Zone south zone. South zone of Florida opens low I.
Speaker 4: Seventy opens the first Saturday in March.
Speaker 2: Okay first, so that's not necessarily March first.
Speaker 7: Right, and then and then the North zone of Florida.
Speaker 7: Everything north of seventy opens March fifteenth, unless.
Speaker 4: It's later later too.
Speaker 8: Mississippi is a second state that opens in the United States.
Speaker 7: Now, because Alabama opens March twenty fifth or something like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so there's three states that open in March.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: We were walking, we were walking through the woods yesterday
Speaker 3: and I asked Lake. I said, I said, is it
Speaker 3: the opener of your season here? And he looked at
Speaker 3: me like you should know this, Oh, season has been open.
Speaker 3: Like I'm a expert on Mississippi.
Speaker 6: We've been rolling for three weeks or three and a
Speaker 6: half weeks.
Speaker 4: So when is that?
Speaker 1: When if you had three days to hunt? Question for
Speaker 1: Lake and Jordan here, when would you hunt here? I'm Mississippi.
Speaker 7: Oh, I mean it would here, It'd probably be around
Speaker 7: somewhere in that first week of April on a typical season.
Speaker 8: Okay, if I was only in allow three days, do
Speaker 8: that have to be consecutive or three separate?
Speaker 4: That's a good question.
Speaker 2: Let's go three separate?
Speaker 8: Sure, opening day, yeah, okay, April first, okay, and then
Speaker 8: the last day of season.
Speaker 2: Really okay, Why walk me through?
Speaker 4: Why quantify that.
Speaker 8: I've had great hunts all three of those days historical data?
Speaker 7: He is right, like, it's if you if you could
Speaker 7: break him up, I would lean towards the April, like
Speaker 7: I said, But something about the opening day, like before
Speaker 7: they've been messed with, you.
Speaker 1: Might just get one that just yeah, you ken in on.
Speaker 1: These turkeys are unpressured, right, and a lot of.
Speaker 8: Times too the opening weekend you may not like have
Speaker 8: a turkey like come in and do it right to
Speaker 8: the gun barrel, but you hear a lot of turkey vocalizations. Yeah,
Speaker 8: they're usually still grouped up, so you get to hear
Speaker 8: the hens cackling and multiple guiblers gabbling and Jake's yelp
Speaker 8: and the whole she bang. Yeah, you know, it's it's
Speaker 8: a cool experience when you get in a group of
Speaker 8: turkeys that opening week.
Speaker 1: M fact, have they so seven eight years ago, maybe longer,
Speaker 1: there was this big push in wild turkey biology about
Speaker 1: these early season openers being harmful to nesting hens, and so,
Speaker 1: I mean it was it was very strongly put out there,
Speaker 1: and all the states moved their seasons back, but they
Speaker 1: did in Arkansas to the point that, I mean, nobody
Speaker 1: gets excited about even hunting the state anymore because it's like,
Speaker 1: it's like so late.
Speaker 4: It's just the April, isn't it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty something or twentieth it's actually April twentieth.
Speaker 2: Uh, and they're still goblin then.
Speaker 1: But used to when I was growing up, it would
Speaker 1: have been like the first Saturday in April or something
Speaker 1: like that. I mean, I many times remember hunting in
Speaker 1: the early April. Have they decided that that was good
Speaker 1: biology or maybe I've heard I've heard a couple of
Speaker 1: different stories.
Speaker 8: So thankfully, Mississippi has not changed anything from what we've
Speaker 8: been doing for twentieth years. Yep, they actually opened ours
Speaker 8: earlier now than they did back in the nineties. Yeah,
Speaker 8: there was a big uproar because we had a swing
Speaker 8: in turkey populations there for four or five six years.
Speaker 8: It's still not what it was twenty five years ago.
Speaker 8: Everybody knows that. But the last four or five years
Speaker 8: we've had outstanding hatches. And right now we have as
Speaker 8: many turkeys as I've seen in my lifetime.
Speaker 7: Yeah, turkey number are strong right now. I don't don't
Speaker 7: quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure. And Jordan
Speaker 7: you may know they some folks are almost looking at
Speaker 7: it like an experiment, because you have Mississippi that stayed
Speaker 7: with the old season framework, and then you have Alabama
Speaker 7: right next door. In a bunch of other states, Tennessee
Speaker 7: pushed theirs back and so and I think it's I mean,
Speaker 7: we're I don't know, like maybe four or five years
Speaker 7: into it, So I know some folks are looking into
Speaker 7: it that way.
Speaker 4: It's kind of like a case study.
Speaker 7: To see how it works out, right, because I haven't
Speaker 7: heard it hasn't it hasn't been long enough for them
Speaker 7: to go, yeah, this is actually helping or this is
Speaker 7: kind of a non factor.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Okay, what do you think, Lacy? You're gonna
Speaker 1: lean on Lake's opinion? Yeah, biology, okay.
Speaker 5: I am a report of wife Clay.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, great, you can you can.
Speaker 1: We'll we'll see what you feel about what happened today
Speaker 1: that Lake will talk about later.
Speaker 3: Okay, there's no turkeys in Patagonia by the way, right,
Speaker 3: So that brings up a great question.
Speaker 1: Josh, Josh Spilmmaker two days ago, was in three days ago,
Speaker 1: was in Santiago, Chili, Chile, and uh so, Josh just.
Speaker 2: Came back from a big fishing trip. Moving on.
Speaker 1: That was back to that was quick now you were there,
Speaker 1: you were there for ten days. Called a huge brown trout.
Speaker 2: You just your trip for Yeah, oh, I gave you
Speaker 2: deserve You deserved this, Josh, you deserve this. You deserve
Speaker 2: two minutes.
Speaker 3: It was a great, great trip. Patagony is actually a
Speaker 3: really amazing place if you are a fly fisherman. I
Speaker 3: can't say if you're a hunter, it's probably not somewhere
Speaker 3: that you want to be. They they they don't have
Speaker 3: any big game, which is a interesting that to the
Speaker 3: best of your So a lot of the at least
Speaker 3: the region you know, Chile is like most of it
Speaker 3: is one hundred miles wide, but it's over four thousand
Speaker 3: miles long.
Speaker 2: That's increable.
Speaker 3: And the region that we were in a big part
Speaker 3: of it looks like Montana and they're you know, ranches
Speaker 3: that are two hundred thousand acres and in the only
Speaker 3: the only I mean they run cattle, they run sheep.
Speaker 3: But there's no no big ung.
Speaker 2: There's no Yeah. He show me pictures. Looks like Montana.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there's no there's no servids bigger than Yeah.
Speaker 3: They have a native servid that's that's really I can't
Speaker 3: remember the name of it. It's a but it's only
Speaker 3: He told me forty forty centimeters tall, which is like
Speaker 3: like sixteen inches.
Speaker 2: So they've got they've got pumas. Mountain lion.
Speaker 3: You do have some pumas. Yeah, they do have some pumas.
Speaker 3: But other than that they have they have a bird
Speaker 3: that looks like an ostrich called a ria, which is
Speaker 3: wild because we're driving through and he's like, there's some
Speaker 3: maria and there's just these two big giant birds just
Speaker 3: out in this flightless grassland.
Speaker 4: Ostrich like birds. Yep.
Speaker 3: Color they they're brown, dark brown, kind of like yeah, look,
Speaker 3: look looks similar to.
Speaker 2: Now what I thought South America.
Speaker 1: I've seen video of a mountain lion what looked like
Speaker 1: a mountain lion attacking these lama like animals.
Speaker 3: They do have, they don't have as many lamas in Chile,
Speaker 3: as they have alpacas well.
Speaker 2: These appeared to be wild animals.
Speaker 3: I didn't see any any wild and they didn't they
Speaker 3: didn't mention it. All their all their native game is protected.
Speaker 3: You can't can't hunt it. But but a lot of
Speaker 3: the critters that they do have were introduced, like in fact,
Speaker 3: the trout, the brown trout were introduced in the late sixties.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine showing up on a continent, especially if
Speaker 1: you had knowledge of Africa, just the plethora of wild
Speaker 1: game that's on the Africa and continent, and then you
Speaker 1: came to North America and saw, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: we have a we have a vast array of big game,
Speaker 1: not as not as varied as Africa, but but pretty impressive.
Speaker 4: We got a lot.
Speaker 1: And then you go to this other continent and they
Speaker 1: got a bunch of monkeys, big.
Speaker 2: Snakes, one one. Well they have jaguars.
Speaker 1: Maybe not in Chile, but yeah, in the north, maybe
Speaker 1: in the northern in South America they would have jaguars.
Speaker 4: And I'm talking about us.
Speaker 3: I'm talking about an area that would be considered small
Speaker 3: in Chile. You know, Chile goes all the way up
Speaker 3: nearly to the equator and almost all the way to Antarctica.
Speaker 3: So I mean there's a there's a wild range of
Speaker 3: geography and in there. So you know, up up in
Speaker 3: the northern part they might have more more of what
Speaker 3: you would find in in in northern South America. But
Speaker 3: where I was at it, I mean there was there
Speaker 3: were no poisonous snakes, there were no poisonous bugs.
Speaker 1: There were no no poison ivy.
Speaker 3: No poison ivy, I mean, yeah, no poison plants. I
Speaker 3: have these beetles. I didn't show you a picture of
Speaker 3: the beetles. They have these beetles.
Speaker 4: Oh you did that.
Speaker 3: That bore into these beech trees that are about the
Speaker 3: body is about about two inches long, but they have
Speaker 3: these huge jaws on the front that are about another
Speaker 3: inch and a half long, and they're pretty wild looking.
Speaker 6: How would you like to have that snap your dad?
Speaker 3: Yeah, no kidding.
Speaker 1: So you you caught one big brown trout.
Speaker 3: Caught a trophy brown trout twenty eight twenty nine inches
Speaker 3: long and fifteen to twenty pounds on a fly rod.
Speaker 2: It was that's awesome.
Speaker 3: It was a kind of a catch of a lifetime.
Speaker 3: So you can check that out on my Instagram.
Speaker 6: They were beautiful too.
Speaker 1: So we were talking about the turkey regulations in Mississippi.
Speaker 1: Somehow when we got on that.
Speaker 3: It was a perfect segue in the Patagonia mm hm.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: So at the end, at the end of this, keep
Speaker 1: your stacks separate from Patagonia and Lakes Lake's story, which
Speaker 1: we're gonna count that as one, and whoever wins wins
Speaker 1: between Josh and Lake.
Speaker 4: For uh, you're falling behind, like, so I haven't gone yet.
Speaker 1: So okay Mississippi, Okay, these early season dates, we just
Speaker 1: don't have enough years to know if they're really help.
Speaker 1: I think they probably do help turkey numbers because people
Speaker 1: don't kill as many turkeys because you're not hunting at
Speaker 1: the peak. I know in Arkansas. I just feel like
Speaker 1: if the two week turkey season was the April first
Speaker 1: or April fifteenth, you'd kill more turkeys than April twentieth.
Speaker 2: And May fifth. Now I feel like you would don't
Speaker 2: know that.
Speaker 7: This is my This is my hypothesis based on nothing
Speaker 7: but anecdotal evidence, not based off science or anything, but
Speaker 7: it's just anecdotal. I think that if they ever I
Speaker 7: don't know if they ever shift it.
Speaker 4: Back or not.
Speaker 7: But I think that they're going to figure out the
Speaker 7: season framework as a non factor.
Speaker 2: I like the sound of that, Like, that's just my thought.
Speaker 6: I feel the same way I do.
Speaker 8: You know it, that's not because I want to haunt
Speaker 8: earlier every year, but I just don't see a difference.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, there's there's this fine there's this fine line.
Speaker 1: We've seen it with black bears in Arkansas and turkeys
Speaker 1: with Arkansas.
Speaker 4: Is when.
Speaker 1: I mean, we've got to have a conservation in mind
Speaker 1: when we set our season dates.
Speaker 2: I mean you absolutely do.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, of course, I mean you have to.
Speaker 1: But in the case of moving the season dates later,
Speaker 1: and in the case of I can't go too much
Speaker 1: into the Arkansas black bear season. But but for over
Speaker 1: a decade we've had these like really late black bear openers,
Speaker 1: and the data just doesn't point to that that really
Speaker 1: that significant in the management of the bears. And it's
Speaker 1: but it puts a major major factor onto the to
Speaker 1: the hunting culture and the people involved in the sport,
Speaker 1: the people that actually care about hunting bears and turkeys too.
Speaker 1: I mean, like the late season opener has like stolen
Speaker 1: the soul of Arkansas turkey season, And granted, if we
Speaker 1: didn't have any turkeys, that would really steal the soul
Speaker 1: of Arkansas turkey hunting. So I'm not saying you lean
Speaker 1: towards culture over science.
Speaker 7: There's a balance there though, right, I mean, like, the
Speaker 7: science is heavily important, but if you don't have a
Speaker 7: hunting community there to appreciate that resource, then how far
Speaker 7: is it going to get you?
Speaker 4: You know what I mean? Yeah, So then that is And.
Speaker 7: I'm not trying to paint the picture that Alabama's turkey
Speaker 7: culture is gone, because it's it's very much alive and well,
Speaker 7: but it did, like.
Speaker 4: And I understood, ruffled some feathers. I do.
Speaker 7: I do think that people that though yeah, pun intended,
Speaker 7: I do think that the folks that made that decision
Speaker 7: did so in a conservation mindset.
Speaker 4: I fully believe that.
Speaker 7: But I do think they could put the Alabama season
Speaker 7: nowhere back to the way that it was and it
Speaker 7: would be fine.
Speaker 6: I also think it was an impulse decision.
Speaker 2: There's no everybody knows it.
Speaker 1: I mean, uh, major voices in turkey biology were saying
Speaker 1: stating this is a fact.
Speaker 4: Dude.
Speaker 7: Well I didn't say it, but I heard that, And
Speaker 7: now I was like pushing back, like I was scared.
Speaker 7: They get freaked me out because it got it got
Speaker 7: pretty I mean, I don't know how doom and gloom
Speaker 7: it actually got.
Speaker 4: But from my perspective at the time, I was like,
Speaker 4: we got to do something.
Speaker 7: And so yeah, when I first heard it, and that's
Speaker 7: I'm putting my own stuff on the chop of block.
Speaker 7: When I first heard it, I was like, it's probably
Speaker 7: a good thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Sure.
Speaker 4: Now with a little bit of retrospect, I see it differently.
Speaker 2: Well, time will.
Speaker 1: Tell, and it's it's it's encouraging that we've had some
Speaker 1: good hat and I think we've had good hatches all
Speaker 1: across the South. I know in Arkansas we've had better
Speaker 1: hatches than we've had in fifteen years.
Speaker 8: I just had a friend of mine that lives in
Speaker 8: Arkansas send me pictures from a place that they have
Speaker 8: in the those arcs of Three Gobblers. He said, this
Speaker 8: is first time in several years we've had this many
Speaker 8: turkeys on his place and they're fired up.
Speaker 4: That's all.
Speaker 1: What's he doing sending you those pictures. That's a mistake, buddy,
Speaker 1: If you're out there, don't send this guy pictures of
Speaker 1: the turkeys because he knows what to.
Speaker 4: Do with them.
Speaker 6: Two weeks ago.
Speaker 2: Now our friend Lake, on the other.
Speaker 3: Hand, Hey, oh.
Speaker 2: There, it is like that.
Speaker 5: That was like a foreshadowing chip.
Speaker 4: Question for everyone, play their foreshadowing.
Speaker 1: Okay, before we get to Lake's Lake's story, Hey, there's
Speaker 1: another one there.
Speaker 2: Jordans.
Speaker 1: Lake's said something about you yesterday that was very complimentary.
Speaker 1: Uh uh, he did, he did, and it was it
Speaker 1: was I thought it was a good description.
Speaker 2: This is okay, if I say what you said.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's heard me say it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he said, he said Jordan Bliss, it is not
Speaker 1: only I don't know if you use this term, but
Speaker 1: this is what I heard. An exceptional hunter. He's also
Speaker 1: exceptionally lucky. And a lot of people like when you
Speaker 1: have both.
Speaker 7: Yeah, what I said is you normally have what I
Speaker 7: what I appreciate it. I say, what you normally have
Speaker 7: is you have the hunting buddy that gets lucky all
Speaker 7: the time, and you have the hunting buddy that's really good.
Speaker 7: Somehow Jordan finds a way to be both.
Speaker 1: And you told me a story, and I want to
Speaker 1: hear Jordan tell the story. Okay, I mean you you
Speaker 1: can tag team, but the story. How can you tell it?
Speaker 1: We'all were on some on some land here in Mississippi.
Speaker 7: The one a couple of seasons ago when the turkey
Speaker 7: got spooked and flew into the tree.
Speaker 2: Tell us that whole story.
Speaker 8: So I had a drawhunt and Lake went with me,
Speaker 8: and I had been hunting the private land next to it,
Speaker 8: so we kind of knew where some turkeys were on
Speaker 8: the public area. And uh, we go in there and
Speaker 8: they pitch black dog. I may get in there early
Speaker 8: because we want to do the first one to the gate, right.
Speaker 8: You don't want to I don't want to be late
Speaker 8: when it comes to the puplic land hunting.
Speaker 4: We waited through a sea of briars too.
Speaker 8: And uh, I actually got access to come in kind
Speaker 8: of from the back door of this place. There's some
Speaker 8: private and if you can do that, you got to
Speaker 8: do due diligence and ask permission and trade hamburgers and
Speaker 8: hot dogs and everything can else to get it. But uh,
Speaker 8: we got in there at like four forty five in
Speaker 8: the morning and doesn't get gabbling tome soil six and
Speaker 8: uh Lake and I were sitting there just waiting on
Speaker 8: that turkey to gobble, and he finally gobbles one time.
Speaker 8: We start be lying in towards him and and uh
Speaker 8: we what a couple of hundred yards? We hoot again,
Speaker 8: he gobbles again. We'll get a better bead on where
Speaker 8: he's at. And uh, where he's at. It's on the
Speaker 8: other side of like this big savannah type cut, like
Speaker 8: big open pines. Like you can see five six hundred
Speaker 8: yards there when it's daylight. So you want to get
Speaker 8: across there in the dark, because if you don't, there
Speaker 8: ain't getting across there without Turkey seeing you. So we
Speaker 8: get across there and pitch black dark gets set down
Speaker 8: and Turkey gobs a few more times, start yeping at him.
Speaker 8: If I remember correctly, Uh, hen flies down first, and
Speaker 8: then he soon followed and gobbled on the ground. And
Speaker 8: a few minutes goes by, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 8: the woods rupped cackling. Turkey's flying and turkeys fly to
Speaker 8: our left and one flies right over.
Speaker 6: Type of me and lake and like something spooked him.
Speaker 6: Though something spooked it wasn't that.
Speaker 2: It wasn't.
Speaker 6: Now they're they're flushed.
Speaker 2: They got flushed animals or.
Speaker 8: Something who knows what, We don't know. It could have
Speaker 8: been a Bobcat. It could have been somebody coming in
Speaker 8: her hunting.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 4: It was a putt and fly fest.
Speaker 6: Turkey is fine.
Speaker 7: It looked like a covey flush of quill. But they're
Speaker 7: all going different directtions.
Speaker 2: Y'all think the hunt's over?
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, just like pretty much done. And we just
Speaker 8: sit there because for one turkeys, we don't know where
Speaker 8: they're all at. And too, like I explained, we stand up,
Speaker 8: we're exposed to everything. So if we stand up, whatever
Speaker 8: turkeys are still around us are going to be spooped
Speaker 8: even again. So we just a lect just to sit
Speaker 8: there a few minutes and to see how it plays out.
Speaker 8: And uh, maybe ten minutes goes by, and I yelled,
Speaker 8: and Hen starts yelping, and I yelped back at her,
Speaker 8: and we get into a conversation, and I remember, right
Speaker 8: Lakes yelping too. We're just all carrying on, you know,
Speaker 8: back and forth. She seems to be calm down, she
Speaker 8: actually coming towards us. And keep in mind, we had
Speaker 8: a turkey that flew in a tree behind us, and
Speaker 8: so we're being as still as possible. I just assumed
Speaker 8: it was a hen foreshadowing.
Speaker 4: We both did yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And.
Speaker 8: Anyway, that hen's coming at us. She's probably seventy yards
Speaker 8: out there in front of us.
Speaker 6: And uh, this.
Speaker 8: Turkey over to our right is in a tree forty
Speaker 8: ish yards thirty forty yards over there. I'm scared to
Speaker 8: move my head, so I had never looked at it.
Speaker 8: I just know it's up there. Well, I started hearing
Speaker 8: it shuffle around, and I see it pitch out of
Speaker 8: my peripheral vision and I turned my head.
Speaker 6: When it's flying, I'm like.
Speaker 4: It's the gobbler.
Speaker 8: See a white head coming out of the tree, like
Speaker 8: just helicoptering down pretty much, just going straight down to
Speaker 8: the ground. It hits the ground, if I remember right,
Speaker 8: it either gobbled right when it hit.
Speaker 6: The ground or went in the strut the started strutting.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it started strutting, then it gobbled, And it's like
Speaker 8: forty yards from us, strutting, gobling while we're yelping back
Speaker 8: and forth.
Speaker 6: His head out in front of us. I'm like, Lake,
Speaker 6: it's the gobbler.
Speaker 4: Here's the gobblin.
Speaker 8: It's men have both right handed, so it's our weak side.
Speaker 8: And I'm have this blow down tree out in front
Speaker 8: of me. My legs are kind of up under it.
Speaker 8: So I start using that as kind of a pushing
Speaker 8: pull type pivot point, and I'm easing as slow as
Speaker 8: I can around trying to get my gun pointed that direction.
Speaker 8: I made this inch by inch because he's in a
Speaker 8: pretty much wide open within gun range and he's strutting
Speaker 8: and then he starts gobbling and he got him five
Speaker 8: or six times, and uh. I finally get eased turned
Speaker 8: to that direction, and I'm like, like.
Speaker 6: Are you own him? And he's like yeah, I'm moaning.
Speaker 8: And I pull up and gun and yelp at him
Speaker 8: and shoot him like the craziest thing ever, Like who'd
Speaker 8: ever thought that would happen?
Speaker 6: Mm hmm.
Speaker 8: But turkeys get flushed, one flies and tree right below
Speaker 8: us ends up flying down and get shot like never
Speaker 8: happens to anybody except Jordan.
Speaker 4: Happens to him. Happens to him.
Speaker 1: And what you said was that, Yeah, there's a component
Speaker 1: of luck to that, but there was also a high
Speaker 1: component of.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I mean.
Speaker 7: It's like he's it's not I mean, I have we thought,
Speaker 7: probably all had. I've got buddies. That's like every story
Speaker 7: they come back with them like, how are you this lucky?
Speaker 4: All the time. You just like dumb into success.
Speaker 7: But yeah, it's like to say what I said was
Speaker 7: like just to say that Jordan got lucky would be
Speaker 7: dishonest because he is good.
Speaker 1: Well and in that story to know where that bird was,
Speaker 1: to have the access through the through the other place,
Speaker 1: which takes a lot of work, a lot of hustle,
Speaker 1: a lot of energy, a lot of desire.
Speaker 7: I mean we waited through so many briers that morning
Speaker 7: going out.
Speaker 8: I did take a wrong turn and went off in
Speaker 8: a rabbit ticket hawk.
Speaker 4: I mean, like you know, like cuts on your forearms,
Speaker 4: kind of thicky.
Speaker 8: Man have both wearing leafy suits and they were not
Speaker 8: leafy as much.
Speaker 2: I came out and tripped them down.
Speaker 4: Got the turkey though, Got the turkey.
Speaker 6: Big turkey too.
Speaker 4: It was big, long spurred thing.
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of being lucky too, I've got this nice
Speaker 1: in seat of matching sheds that we picked up yesterday
Speaker 1: while we were listening to a turkey.
Speaker 4: Gobbles wide out on the dark.
Speaker 1: On a nice little kicker on that four point side,
Speaker 1: right next to each other.
Speaker 6: It's very pretty colored sheds.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of got that Mississippi River muddy brow
Speaker 1: color like that almost.
Speaker 2: That wouldn't and ozark deer wouldn't look like that.
Speaker 1: There'd be a lot more chocolate up on the horn,
Speaker 1: but that's probably been sun bleached.
Speaker 6: A little bit nice here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes it will, Lacy if you had.
Speaker 2: It this year.
Speaker 9: Yeah, we've been out on our property a few times and.
Speaker 7: Yeah, mm hmmm, that's a pickle pond Rosa.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 7: We we bought six acres that we plany on building
Speaker 7: a house on and there's one long beard that tends
Speaker 7: to hang around there and we've been we've been going
Speaker 7: around and around with him.
Speaker 4: When Lacy can get off work.
Speaker 1: Yeah, would would you be comfortable telling some version of
Speaker 1: the story you told me the other day about what happened?
Speaker 4: No, okay, never mind, No, I would not.
Speaker 2: Okay not.
Speaker 8: His place is called pickle like Actually, yeah, I surprised
Speaker 8: him with that.
Speaker 6: We registered indeed with the county.
Speaker 3: Oh that's funny.
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 4: I like it. I love it.
Speaker 1: Well, we've so we had some great stories. On the
Speaker 1: last episode of Bear Grease. We had a Turkey stories
Speaker 1: episode and uh not everybody got to listen to it.
Speaker 1: My favorite story on the episode was Codyvilines. Cody the
Speaker 1: lines he was on the American Loggers episodes.
Speaker 2: So he's he's on bear Grease been.
Speaker 4: On bears before.
Speaker 1: And Jordan he told the story of basically calling up
Speaker 1: a black bear and it was it was just a
Speaker 1: good story though when he was a kid. And I
Speaker 1: like the way he told the story. He said he
Speaker 1: it roosted three gobblers the night before. Now the tree
Speaker 1: they were in, he gets in there, calling at the
Speaker 1: Turkey's there, goblin. They pitched down, and all of a
Speaker 1: sudden he sees three black blobs coming over the hill
Speaker 1: and I mean, he's got his safety off, about to
Speaker 1: kill this gobbler.
Speaker 2: And it was old soal bear and it was it
Speaker 2: was a great story.
Speaker 1: And then Jonas Poultellus told a good story just from Texas.
Speaker 1: And then I told the story of Lake and I
Speaker 1: on in Arkansas last year with a big gobbler in
Speaker 1: front of us that should have been killable, should have
Speaker 1: been coming in. Yeah, and we're on the field edge
Speaker 1: and and if you hadn't listened to it, a big
Speaker 1: time spoilert cut the cut the podcast if you hadn't
Speaker 1: listened to it yet, And uh, Justin Houise has a
Speaker 1: pot belly pig that lives on his farm, and I
Speaker 1: believe that pot belly pig winded us and came in
Speaker 1: to find us. And this pot belly pig was walking
Speaker 1: down the fence line while we got a gobbler out here,
Speaker 1: and I out of.
Speaker 2: The peripheral vision, I mean, we're like on this turkey.
Speaker 2: Lake's the shooter.
Speaker 1: So I'm back a little bit and I see a
Speaker 1: big black, round like side of a turkey.
Speaker 7: Kind of well that and like it's one of those
Speaker 7: things when you're turkey hunting, everything begins to look like
Speaker 7: a turkey. Ye, like the other day of me and
Speaker 7: Jordan thought the back end of a black angus cow
Speaker 7: was a shrutter.
Speaker 4: We were right there.
Speaker 6: Oh and she was forty yards away.
Speaker 2: Oh really that close I can see I look like
Speaker 2: a fan.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean just so, I mean you're just so
Speaker 7: keyed up and you're like struttered.
Speaker 8: No, we were sneaking up trying to peek into this field. Yeah,
Speaker 8: she popped out from behind a tree.
Speaker 4: Yeah, strutter.
Speaker 2: Well that's exactly what that.
Speaker 1: That pig was moving at the pace of like a
Speaker 1: strutting turkey, and it was a pig. And but then
Speaker 1: Lake circles around and kills the turkey. Like probably an
Speaker 1: hour later.
Speaker 7: Well, I was telling like, like I was saying, Jordan,
Speaker 7: is this combination of good and lucky?
Speaker 4: I've said this before and Jordan would agree.
Speaker 7: It doesn't happen every time, but sometimes I'll I'll be
Speaker 7: talking to Jordan because something he just gets to hear
Speaker 7: me vent a lot about hunting situations, and I'm like, like,
Speaker 7: why can't I just ever have a normal home?
Speaker 4: Very rarely? Is it? Just like? Uh?
Speaker 7: I set up I called a god wor come in
Speaker 7: and I shot him like something wonky always has to happen,
Speaker 7: like the pot belly pig. And so then we had
Speaker 7: to make this big loop like the the deer I
Speaker 7: shot earlier this year where I'm like got frustrated and
Speaker 7: let my bow down and saw him coming in.
Speaker 4: I was like, woo, and.
Speaker 7: I'm having to untie my bow from the string when
Speaker 7: the deer's thirty yards and walking in. It's just like
Speaker 7: something always wonky happens to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of wonky things happening to you. Okay, here
Speaker 1: it is about the hunt. Tell us about the hunt
Speaker 1: this morning?
Speaker 4: Do you like that segue? Yeah?
Speaker 6: That was a good.
Speaker 7: Okay, So we roosted Clay Josh myself roosted turkey last night,
Speaker 7: and I'm talking, I'm not naive enough to think that
Speaker 7: we've got to roost it.
Speaker 4: He's we're gonna kill him.
Speaker 7: But I think what I told you last night is like,
Speaker 7: there's no such thing as a one hundred percent turkey
Speaker 7: on because there's not. But that's about as good of
Speaker 7: a chance as you could ask for. And I said,
Speaker 7: I would say that to I mean, he gobbled enough
Speaker 7: of us that we were able to get too fifty
Speaker 7: two hundred from him and be like he is right there, yeah,
Speaker 7: and great spot to be able to get in get
Speaker 7: in there tight to him. We snuck in in the dark,
Speaker 7: in the pitch dark set up one hundred. According to
Speaker 7: on X, he was one hundred and forty one yards
Speaker 7: away and.
Speaker 2: He had his he had his back to a slough.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we pretty you know, he could have pitched
Speaker 1: across that slough, but most likely he was going to
Speaker 1: pitch down on our side. So we had a natural
Speaker 1: terrain feature.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was helping us. I mean it was perfect.
Speaker 7: And we get set up, we get still, we get quiet,
Speaker 7: we get bathed in mosquito spray because sitting't that close
Speaker 7: to that slew. They were thick, and uh, I just
Speaker 7: sat there all morning waiting for the damn to bust
Speaker 7: and that it never did.
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean I was sitting there, going anytime now,
Speaker 4: anytime now.
Speaker 8: The first crow, I said, are we sure we went
Speaker 8: to the right on x pen?
Speaker 1: It's got so many Yeah, you know, the tweety birds
Speaker 1: start tweeting. The sun starts to get light, and he's
Speaker 1: not gobbling, and sometimes they do gobble before, but there's
Speaker 1: no crows. And I go, when that first crow goes,
Speaker 1: he's gonna gobble, And about two minutes later, Yeah, nothing
Speaker 1: in lake goes.
Speaker 4: That's not good. I don't know. I don't know what happened.
Speaker 7: The only thing is he something bumped him in the
Speaker 7: night or he just didn't gobble, because we didn't hear
Speaker 7: any other turkeys until way late. I'm talking like as
Speaker 7: far as like like fly down time.
Speaker 4: And one gobbled to the north of us one time.
Speaker 8: Based on the way my morning went on three hours
Speaker 8: from here, I alwauld say he was there, Yeah, because
Speaker 8: I was where turkeys. I was within shot earshot of
Speaker 8: turkeys this morning too, and they do not gobble.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 7: It was it was so anyway that didn't work, and
Speaker 7: trying to keep your spirits up, you know. But because
Speaker 7: we had a close call the day before, and you know,
Speaker 7: we're you know, you just want to get you just
Speaker 7: want to hunt to go right, And I'm like, well,
Speaker 7: you know, so you could feel at least me, we
Speaker 7: were all a little bit bummed. We were like god, like,
Speaker 7: you know, like that just felt so good. And we're like, well,
Speaker 7: let's go back towards where we parked, the side by
Speaker 7: side because that night when we roosed him, we thought
Speaker 7: we may have heard a turkey on the other side
Speaker 7: of the road to the west. So we get over
Speaker 7: there and I owl in the turkey gobbles and we
Speaker 7: did a little bit of like.
Speaker 4: The was he that way? Was he that way? I
Speaker 4: thought he was this way? Anyway, we give him a
Speaker 4: goble again.
Speaker 7: We're like okay, here we move up hit a road.
Speaker 7: There's the nice thing about this place is there's a
Speaker 7: really good road system on it, so you can pretty
Speaker 7: you can cut a lot of ground pretty easy. And
Speaker 7: we start moving to this turkey and we cut a
Speaker 7: big chunk of distance because he was deep. And I
Speaker 7: get to where we think he should be around three
Speaker 7: hundred ish yards away.
Speaker 4: I owl again, he gobbles.
Speaker 7: Sweet, move up and something about that last gobble. He
Speaker 7: may have been doing this all morning and we couldn't
Speaker 7: hear him. But it was like once he pulled the
Speaker 7: cork out of him, you couldn't stop him.
Speaker 4: I mean, he was just gobling and he was coming. No.
Speaker 6: Oh, no, not that yet.
Speaker 4: I was like, what, but he was moving, Yeah, he
Speaker 4: was definitely moving in our direction. He was. He was
Speaker 4: just gobling.
Speaker 7: And so we get to this spot where the road
Speaker 7: tees into this food plot and then takes a ninety
Speaker 7: and juts down, and he's just in this block of
Speaker 7: woods and he's gobling so much, and we've got three people.
Speaker 4: We set up probably.
Speaker 7: One seventy two hundred somewhere in there, and I was like,
Speaker 7: let's just play it safe and try it from here first,
Speaker 7: you know, like knight risk pushing any further. See what
Speaker 7: he does. He's gobling so much, you know. So we
Speaker 7: set up right there. And another thing, havn't hunted on
Speaker 7: this place for a long time. You yelping a turkey
Speaker 7: into the road and getting him to come down, it
Speaker 7: is typically how it goes down, you know. So we
Speaker 7: start calling this turkey and he jumps all over it,
Speaker 7: I mean, just.
Speaker 4: And cuts this.
Speaker 7: Since I thought for a second, and I'm like, maybe
Speaker 7: he's gonna stay in the woods. Maybe one time he
Speaker 7: moved a little left towards the road. One time he
Speaker 7: got I must say around one twenty I could hear
Speaker 7: him drum and then the goblin just ceased for how long?
Speaker 7: Thirty minutes And I'm sitting there, going where'd he go?
Speaker 6: Hey? Taking a smoke break?
Speaker 7: So I mean like, I'm like, we didn't spook him,
Speaker 7: where did he go? And we sat there for probably
Speaker 7: longer than we needed to, just because I'm like, man,
Speaker 7: I don't want to bull rush into it, and then
Speaker 7: the sucker's coming the whole time, or he steps out
Speaker 7: in the road or whatever. But we finally decided let's
Speaker 7: push in, and I'm like, I guess we need to
Speaker 7: try to get in those woods.
Speaker 4: And you kind of had it.
Speaker 7: And it could be kind of tricky because along these
Speaker 7: roads there's like these buffer strips of thicket, so it's
Speaker 7: hard to find a path in there. But it's not
Speaker 7: just like making a whole ruckus. And so we ease
Speaker 7: up there, find a way in, pick our way through,
Speaker 7: find what looks to be the beginning of some more
Speaker 7: open hardwood timber.
Speaker 4: And we sit down.
Speaker 7: And uh, I think it was the second or third
Speaker 7: time I yelped he hit, and he was he had
Speaker 7: drifted north. We waited there a little bit longer and
Speaker 7: Clay was like, do you want to close some distance?
Speaker 7: I said, if he gobbles again, he's the same spot,
Speaker 7: we will He yelped, same spot. I said, yeah, let's
Speaker 7: cut some distance, and we elected to go back to
Speaker 7: the road. This is where the story kind of gets
Speaker 7: a little bit funny, because there was some serious ring
Speaker 7: around the rosie happening, and we.
Speaker 4: Get just skipped.
Speaker 2: We can just you know, skip some of that the
Speaker 2: ring around the rosy.
Speaker 4: Well, is it getting too long?
Speaker 2: Well, I was just wanting to get to the good part.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 7: So we get to the road and we start cutting distance,
Speaker 7: and all of a sudden that turkey gobbles again and
Speaker 7: we're like he's coming to us, Like we're about to
Speaker 7: mess this up. So we run back, hop back in
Speaker 7: the woods, get to a tree. Feel good. He gobbles again, like, okay,
Speaker 7: we can cut some distance down. So we move a
Speaker 7: little bit further north and all of a sudden we
Speaker 7: hit this spot in these hardwoods that you just kind
Speaker 7: of go this visit it, like this is this is
Speaker 7: the spot, big open hardwoods, pretty small flat found out
Speaker 7: later looking around there was some scratching in there, and
Speaker 7: he was just content in there. And I remember when
Speaker 7: we all got sat down, I said, the thing we
Speaker 7: got going for us is we already know he's plenty
Speaker 7: fine coming right here. And so we get sat down
Speaker 7: and I just waited for him to gobble again, and
Speaker 7: when he gobbled again, I answered him and he crawled
Speaker 7: all over it.
Speaker 4: And it probably took from that set up. How long
Speaker 4: did it take? Ten minutes? Minutes? It wasn't long.
Speaker 7: He he finicked a little bit with the like, hey,
Speaker 7: well you come this way, but he didn't do that
Speaker 7: very long, and he started cutting distance and got to
Speaker 7: about one hundred gobbled a few times.
Speaker 4: Wasn't much longer.
Speaker 7: I thought I heard a drum, and about that time
Speaker 7: Clay said, I hear him drum.
Speaker 4: I'm like, okay, that is what it is.
Speaker 7: And I'm just, you know, at that point, like safety
Speaker 7: is knocked off and I'm just scanning with my eyes
Speaker 7: trying to catch him, like where is he going to
Speaker 7: show up? Clays on first and here comes he's right
Speaker 7: down in your gun barrel. About that time, I can
Speaker 7: see the top of that white head just coming. I'm like,
Speaker 7: cool boy, here we go.
Speaker 4: And uh oh, heart gets thumping. It had been thumping, brother,
Speaker 4: had they he was breathing hard? Yeah, I was. I
Speaker 4: was very excited.
Speaker 6: I had both fever.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: And the rut it's the Turkey rut is why wouldn't.
Speaker 7: And uh, he's coming And he gets to about there
Speaker 7: was a tree.
Speaker 4: I carry a range finder with me. There was a tree.
Speaker 7: There was like a little double tree that I had
Speaker 7: ranged and it was forty three yards and he was
Speaker 7: the other side of it, not by much, so he
Speaker 7: was somewhere between forty five and fifty, which my gun
Speaker 7: will do every day and twice on Sunday. And he
Speaker 7: comes in and he's pre confident. It's the gun works.
Speaker 7: The gun works. At no point, will you hear me
Speaker 7: throw this at the gun? The gun is sound, and
Speaker 7: he's moving and I'm trying to get on.
Speaker 1: Him and he's not coming to us. We've got our
Speaker 1: decoy set out and he could have seen it. I
Speaker 1: mean like it's in big open woods. Decoy is like
Speaker 1: probably twelve yards right in front of us. When he's
Speaker 1: first coming, it looks like he's just coming straight to us.
Speaker 4: But he veers.
Speaker 1: He he just veers and and doesn't look like you know.
Speaker 2: Sometimes they'll they'll be looking and strutting. He's just moved.
Speaker 7: He did he did blood one time, but he was
Speaker 7: behind that tree. He never did full strut. He just
Speaker 7: kind of puffed and that's when he gobbled.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then he.
Speaker 8: Just just yelped at him at any more since you've
Speaker 8: seen him.
Speaker 2: No, we didn't yelp when after we saw.
Speaker 6: It sounds like the turkey's miscourse, y'all.
Speaker 4: He might have.
Speaker 6: That's what it sounds.
Speaker 7: But I was gotten so close, man, And that's what
Speaker 7: I told. Well, let me tell the story. He gets in,
Speaker 7: he gets gets in one lane that's like my best
Speaker 7: lane to shoot, and I said, can I kill him?
Speaker 7: We're filming, Yeah, And that's what I heard when I said,
Speaker 7: can I kill him? That's what I heard slid and uh.
Speaker 7: When I finally hear I think I hear the word yes.
Speaker 2: We thought it was more like a like a spiritual
Speaker 2: question or like a first.
Speaker 6: Question rhetorical himself.
Speaker 7: Can I do this philosophical?
Speaker 2: I kind of look at Josh and go.
Speaker 6: I don't know if you can.
Speaker 4: I don't know if he's got it in it.
Speaker 7: Uh So, by the time I hear yes, the turkey
Speaker 7: is behind a tree, and uh he pops out and
Speaker 7: there was a gap between that tree and a and
Speaker 7: a smaller tree, probably about eight inches in diameter. And
Speaker 7: in my head, I like, he was moving at such
Speaker 7: a rate. I'm like, if I don't try to poke
Speaker 7: it through right now, I'm about to lose him entirely.
Speaker 7: And uh so I tried to force it through that
Speaker 7: gap and it did not work.
Speaker 4: And that turkey he's somewhere, he's out there.
Speaker 6: Did he fly run?
Speaker 4: He flew yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, flew, flapped and sailed.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's fine. He's just scared a lot. And the
Speaker 7: tell you who was hurt the most, and that ordeals me.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I can't imagine it happens to the best of us.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's what I told Clays. Like hindsight, I maybe
Speaker 7: should have tried to yelp at him to see if
Speaker 7: he'd slow up. I just was like, if I don't
Speaker 7: get him right here, he's gone. But the bottom line
Speaker 7: is when he made it through that gap, like my
Speaker 7: big lane that I had, I should have just not
Speaker 7: shot that.
Speaker 4: I shouldn't have shot.
Speaker 8: But all right, you probably should have just put the
Speaker 8: red dot on the turkey anyway.
Speaker 1: Well, it was uh, it was exciting. It was it
Speaker 1: was exciting. It was hard. It was hard to watch
Speaker 1: old Lake miss because I knew how bad it wo
Speaker 1: tear him up.
Speaker 4: It did, but boys had a rough.
Speaker 8: Yeah, we've been through this before, Lake, And sometimes you
Speaker 8: have to just do a confession of whatever you've done
Speaker 8: wrong to the Turkey Man.
Speaker 4: That's a Turkey superstition. You might as well enlightened, Clay.
Speaker 8: You have to do some type of confession of anything
Speaker 8: you have wronged in the Turkey Woods.
Speaker 2: Now who we the Turkey Man is God?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, I thought that part was evident.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I was making sure they so, man,
Speaker 1: that's right, I'm with you.
Speaker 2: I'm tracking now. Okay.
Speaker 1: So we've been through this before though, Oh yeah, you
Speaker 1: got outside of the Turkey Woods.
Speaker 4: Though.
Speaker 1: This doesn't cover your actions out just your actions in
Speaker 1: the Turkey Woods.
Speaker 8: You're hunting something something he's done something wrong hunting. I
Speaker 8: don't know what it would be, just just my speculations speculations.
Speaker 1: Interesting, Do you have any insight that you'd like to show?
Speaker 1: Maybe this is where Lacey comes in. Lacey, do you
Speaker 1: have anything to tell us about Lake that maybe he
Speaker 1: didn't even see himself sometimes? Uh, you know, self evaluation
Speaker 1: is really hard because you're.
Speaker 2: Blind to yourself.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't really see your problems. It's true all
Speaker 2: of us.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Well, I mean, the only wrong that I know.
Speaker 5: Of was a few years ago.
Speaker 10: I don't think it would have affected.
Speaker 6: You want to tell us about that?
Speaker 4: I shot a turkey out from under her?
Speaker 5: Sure did time he took me Yep.
Speaker 2: He didn't think you were going to get it?
Speaker 4: Did he?
Speaker 5: I guess not? But I mean we have talked about
Speaker 5: this over over.
Speaker 4: Counselor finally, I didn't miss that one.
Speaker 9: So look, but listen, we were we weren't even engaged yet.
Speaker 5: That was the biggest fight we ever had.
Speaker 2: Oh for real. This wasn't like a joke.
Speaker 4: Was big enough? Really? Oh? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 2: But did you shoot the turkey because you didn't think
Speaker 2: she was going to get on it?
Speaker 7: We had one gun between the two of us because
Speaker 7: the the intent was for Laci to shoot the turkey.
Speaker 2: Maybe this is good, good job Jordan's We're.
Speaker 6: Gonna be a great day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got to kill.
Speaker 4: The intent was the intent was for Laty to shoot
Speaker 4: a turkey.
Speaker 7: We were on uh what we refer to as a
Speaker 7: traveling preacher, and that's turkey that he's moving in Goblin
Speaker 7: and uh and spread word. He's taking it somewhere. He's
Speaker 7: just a traveling preacher. You couldn't catch I mean he
Speaker 7: was on it. I mean he was moving, like all morning,
Speaker 7: he was moving.
Speaker 2: You want to come back to this. Different names turkeys,
Speaker 2: but we.
Speaker 7: Were on a traveling preacher, and I mean we had
Speaker 7: been chasing that rascal all morning and finally he got
Speaker 7: to this creek bottom and that was I told Lacy
Speaker 7: something along the lines of like that is the most
Speaker 7: stationary that turkey has.
Speaker 4: Been all morning.
Speaker 7: He got to that creek bottom and kind of just
Speaker 7: started drifting back and forth Goblin. And this was the
Speaker 7: second to last day in Mississippi season, so there is
Speaker 7: a ton of vegetation, so he got a lot of
Speaker 7: cover to work with. And so whenever he would drift
Speaker 7: down that creek, I would just inch us up and
Speaker 7: I would inch us up, and I finally got to
Speaker 7: where he gobbled one time he's down the creek and
Speaker 7: I sat us down and we were within shooting distance
Speaker 7: of that creek, like thirty yards and and I'm like,
Speaker 7: I feel like this is a good spot if you know,
Speaker 7: if he'd come back in here. The other thing is
Speaker 7: this turkey hadn't answer to yelp all morning.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 7: We we'd hear him, we'd try to set up on
Speaker 7: him again. He just kept moving. But we sat there
Speaker 7: and he kind of stayed where he was and I yelped.
Speaker 4: And it wasn't like a call yelp, yep, yep, yeap.
Speaker 7: It was kind of delayed, but it was the it
Speaker 7: was like the most oh my gosh, that turkey actually
Speaker 7: answered like and I said, hey, I know he's like
Speaker 7: one hundred and thirty yards away, but go ahead and
Speaker 7: get your gun up point of this direction.
Speaker 4: He may come. You know.
Speaker 2: She got the gun.
Speaker 4: She has a gun. And we're sitting there.
Speaker 7: I mean it's maybe been twenty seconds and Lacy goes,
Speaker 7: I see him, and.
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, she saw him first.
Speaker 7: Yeah, she goes, she goes, I see him, And I'm like,
Speaker 7: do what like the turkey that we just heard a
Speaker 7: hunt like, it just didn't make sense how this turkey
Speaker 7: would be here that quickly. Well, then I glanced over
Speaker 7: and the turkey we heard is this way. She's looking
Speaker 7: that way, and I'm like, huh, and I have this
Speaker 7: giant water oak tree in my line of you, and
Speaker 7: she's like, he's walking this way, and I'm like, I
Speaker 7: guess she's looking at a turkey.
Speaker 4: Sure enough. I mean it's a great big water oak tree.
Speaker 7: So when I finally see him, there's a long beard
Speaker 7: turkey just walking at us like suck no, I mean,
Speaker 7: just chilled out where you know where you're at, girl,
Speaker 7: and walks in and just in these big open hardwoods.
Speaker 7: And he's standing there at twenty five thirty yards like
Speaker 7: he's living around. And I gave the green light whenever.
Speaker 7: If I say any incorrections, feel free, and I said, shoot.
Speaker 4: Him, shoot him, shoot him.
Speaker 7: I mean, you know it's you're like, I'm whispering because
Speaker 7: the turkey's right there, but I mean I don't know him.
Speaker 4: Like shoot, you know.
Speaker 7: And Lacey's shoulder to shoulder with me, and I can
Speaker 7: hear some sort of struggle going on over there, and
Speaker 7: the gun's not going off, and I'm like something has
Speaker 7: gone awry, and the Turkey didn't booger.
Speaker 4: But you know how it is.
Speaker 7: When Turkey's standing there at twenty five yards, he ain't
Speaker 7: gonna stand there forever until he's like something's not right here.
Speaker 7: And he didn't freak out. He just kind of turned
Speaker 7: around and started walking back. And he started walking away
Speaker 7: and have much time, and I'm thinking, is the gun
Speaker 7: not loaded? What did I screw up? And he when
Speaker 7: he goes behind that I did that right.
Speaker 1: There where he's like taking some of the blame, which
Speaker 1: I probably didn't on that day.
Speaker 4: Go ahead.
Speaker 7: So he goes behind the big water oak tree. I
Speaker 7: mean it, thing's massive. So he goes behind it, and
Speaker 7: I know I've got a little bit of time and
Speaker 7: I look over. I said, will the gunnight shoot? She
Speaker 7: goes no, I said, hand it to me. So I
Speaker 7: grabbed the gun and I pulled the chamber back, and
Speaker 7: I'm serious thing, I'm like, I'm about to see an
Speaker 7: empty chamber and be like, you idiot. But I pulled
Speaker 7: the chamber back, the shells in there, and I bring
Speaker 7: it back shut and when I look up, he's now
Speaker 7: off my right shoulder at about fifty yards, and I
Speaker 7: just I didn't think about it.
Speaker 4: I just reacted. I just went and shot him. Okay.
Speaker 10: See I thought the plan was give the gun back
Speaker 10: to me, and we did.
Speaker 5: Not do that.
Speaker 7: So we were not aligned. No, we did not do that.
Speaker 7: Is that was that inaccurate representation of story?
Speaker 5: I would say?
Speaker 4: So?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Lacy, so you were upset with him about
Speaker 2: this though?
Speaker 9: Oh yeah no, Like he got up and ran and
Speaker 9: was just so exciting. Yeah, the most excited. And he
Speaker 9: turns around.
Speaker 5: I'm just like, yeah, I mean yeah, I mean and.
Speaker 10: He's like, oh no, Like it registers like she's upset.
Speaker 9: She's really upset, you know, And I just couldn't believe.
Speaker 8: It's probably a lot of my fault why he's like that,
Speaker 8: because we've always been like, I don't care who hadn't
Speaker 8: killed a turkey. If he wone, gets some gun range,
Speaker 8: don't let him get out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and just a Jordan thing.
Speaker 7: That's like we did that primos for years unless it
Speaker 7: was like bad video, like the turkey doesn't leave.
Speaker 9: And that's what we did talk about that. But like,
Speaker 9: that was my first time you've taken me.
Speaker 5: I think that was my first turkey hunt ever.
Speaker 4: That was her first turkey hunt ever ever?
Speaker 2: Did this were there red flags about this man.
Speaker 5: After that, things got better eventually blow out, But I.
Speaker 9: Mean like I was still so mad and he made
Speaker 9: me go out there with him and take a photo
Speaker 9: like nothing ever happened.
Speaker 4: In our house.
Speaker 5: He got it framed.
Speaker 1: I mean, it is defense. This is a pretty monumental
Speaker 1: moment here, I know.
Speaker 10: But like my eyes were still puffy and I was
Speaker 10: crying mad.
Speaker 5: I was wow, I was seriously upset.
Speaker 4: You're not understanding the severity of the situation.
Speaker 1: Now, Lake, did you have any red flags when you
Speaker 1: saw this kind of response?
Speaker 7: I didn't just how I was saying, Now, you didn't
Speaker 7: see the severity of the situation. I didn't understand the
Speaker 7: severity of the situation because again I was like, who.
Speaker 5: Got the most excited?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I even said when you turned around and saw me,
Speaker 10: you were like.
Speaker 4: Oh no, yeah, I do something was wrong.
Speaker 5: You knew what was wrong.
Speaker 10: Yeah, but obviously, look I won't get wrong.
Speaker 3: This is still a little sensitive.
Speaker 5: You can tell we're better.
Speaker 2: After I hear the story.
Speaker 1: Well, maybe the panel could speak. When I hear the story.
Speaker 1: I think your boy did what he was trained to do. Sure,
Speaker 1: I mean it'd be like if a marine was in
Speaker 1: this situation, this is what he should do, and so
Speaker 1: that day he was.
Speaker 2: A marine and he did his job.
Speaker 3: Or like or like the frog and the scorpion when
Speaker 3: the scorpions stings a frog and just doing what do yeah?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 1: So And also in Lake's defense, even though he missed
Speaker 1: a turkey today right out from under me while while
Speaker 1: I had my gun laid across my lap like I
Speaker 1: was his eddy.
Speaker 5: Sure, I'm not a fan.
Speaker 4: His youth.
Speaker 1: Youth, So in his defense, you had yet y'all were
Speaker 1: just dating. You weren't even engaged. No, So I'm saying
Speaker 1: there's something there, like if you had done this after
Speaker 1: you were married, I can see a bigger problem. So
Speaker 1: I'm kind of coming to the lakes, I guess.
Speaker 9: But like we had already decided we were getting married, like.
Speaker 5: It been talked about. You probably had you gotten the.
Speaker 4: Ring yet, I don't know. That was like four years ago.
Speaker 5: It's the whole thing, is that, Blair.
Speaker 9: We were engaged for a month, so everything was planned
Speaker 9: before the ring.
Speaker 4: That's what did you say?
Speaker 6: I said I would do it to my wife. Oh
Speaker 6: he would.
Speaker 9: But like the issue was, like I get that's what
Speaker 9: he was like trained to do or whatever. The issue
Speaker 9: was it took like two years to get an apology.
Speaker 6: Oh it sounds like it wasn't genuine.
Speaker 5: No, I feel okay.
Speaker 3: Confession has happened, and you've pulled pulled us into this
Speaker 3: problem that you've created with with Turkey Man.
Speaker 4: Turkey Man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you'd have just told us about this situation
Speaker 3: before we started hunting yesterday, we could have fixed ahead.
Speaker 2: We should have had this story out on the table
Speaker 2: last night.
Speaker 4: Hang on and hang on.
Speaker 7: If you're going to start throwing blows, Josh.
Speaker 4: Are we going to talk about yesterday morning? No, we're not.
Speaker 6: I was like, we're.
Speaker 4: Gonna start throwing we're not going to talk about yesterday.
Speaker 3: I got to hear this when I spooked a turkey
Speaker 3: setting up my camera.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, that's twice turkey. Yeah that's kind
Speaker 1: of for a cameraman like a miss Yeah.
Speaker 5: Sure, basically that's an equivalent.
Speaker 3: Sure yeah, yep, Well thanks, because that's going to be
Speaker 3: out to everybody that pays me for doing this job.
Speaker 2: Oh, they don't listen.
Speaker 8: One time I was feeling wheel primos and left my
Speaker 8: turkey vest about one hundred yards behind us, and we
Speaker 8: got finally got these turkeys coming in and they're strutting
Speaker 8: like fifty yards. My camera better DAEs Oh no, yeah,
Speaker 8: And they come up there like twenty strutting. God, and
Speaker 8: I ain't got no camera rolling. So I've been there.
Speaker 7: We'll go back to the We went back to the
Speaker 7: camp that night, me and Brad did and Wilver's just
Speaker 7: standing in the driveway of the house, just like stoically looking,
Speaker 7: and I.
Speaker 11: Said, walked up to him, I said, Will. He said, hey,
Speaker 11: you good? He said, George camera Dad. I went, huh,
Speaker 11: he said, George camera Dad? Like what did E couldn't
Speaker 11: kill the turkey?
Speaker 7: I'm like, I'm going to need some elaboration on this
Speaker 7: tail Like he was just standing out there, just standing
Speaker 7: looking like.
Speaker 4: A lost child.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was not a good day. Did he did he?
Speaker 4: I had to say, what did he do? This?
Speaker 6: Said there Washington?
Speaker 2: I tried to I mean, did did did Will?
Speaker 1: I know Will somehow communicated to you his displeasure?
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, no very much.
Speaker 2: I mean did he just straight up go like what
Speaker 2: are you doing?
Speaker 4: What's wrong with you?
Speaker 2: Or did he just kind of like he walk off?
Speaker 8: I had started when the camera died, the turkeys were
Speaker 8: still coming in, so I was crawling back to my
Speaker 8: vest while the turkeys were coming at sixty or fifty
Speaker 8: yards whatever they were, And I was at my vest
Speaker 8: when they showed up. So I was just kind of
Speaker 8: laid back there behind the camera, said if I wasn't
Speaker 8: with him when it happened, Oh I got you, I
Speaker 8: have my camera.
Speaker 6: Had already died, and I went to go get batteries.
Speaker 4: Wild.
Speaker 8: I mean, we were looking at the turkeys and I
Speaker 8: was barely crawling back, like, yeah, I'm finna get fired.
Speaker 6: It wasn't a good day.
Speaker 1: Maybe this is good for the team because we got
Speaker 1: one day left. All this it's maybe it's turkey It's
Speaker 1: confession day.
Speaker 3: What Lake said, though filming turkey hunts is the hardest
Speaker 3: kind of filming here, it is.
Speaker 4: He says that it's not easy. It's not easy.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of components.
Speaker 8: And for whatever reason, not just Mississippi but the South
Speaker 8: in general, I mean, very rarely do they actually do
Speaker 8: what they're supposed to do.
Speaker 6: I usually tie you around, you have to get.
Speaker 8: Turned and awkward and holding onto a tree one hand,
Speaker 8: filming on the other hand, and all kinds of crazy stuff.
Speaker 7: It's like you're saying, like you were thinking he was
Speaker 7: going to come right at us. I'm like, I'm not
Speaker 7: surprised at all that turkey skirted us. Cagy things.
Speaker 4: Mmmm, well it's all out now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you sure that's the only thing you've done.
Speaker 7: Let me think on it, let me simmer, and nothing
Speaker 7: comes to mind.
Speaker 4: No, So tomorrow we'll kind of.
Speaker 3: The day we got it all out on the table.
Speaker 4: Now, yeah, yeah, right, yeah.
Speaker 1: Let me tell one thing I did one time that
Speaker 1: I kind of feel bad about. So one time I
Speaker 1: was hunting on public land and there's there's this long
Speaker 1: ridge that's like a mile long, okay, just a finger
Speaker 1: ridge and th ozarks And there's one road that goes
Speaker 1: this finger ridge to a gate, and so if your
Speaker 1: truck is parked at that gate, you basically have access
Speaker 1: to this entire finger ridge. Me and you hunted there lot, Josh.
Speaker 1: And the canyons on either side of the ridge are
Speaker 1: so deep and steep that there's basically no access to
Speaker 1: get on this ridge if if you're not walking right
Speaker 1: down it. And so during the season, one day I
Speaker 1: pull I usual, I usually get in there so early
Speaker 1: that I would be the first one at the gate,
Speaker 1: you know, But this morning I got in there and
Speaker 1: that somebody beat me to the gate, and somehow I
Speaker 1: told myself and I don't know, I think I probably
Speaker 1: actually had information about this. I knew that this guy
Speaker 1: wasn't going to go very far on this ridge, and
Speaker 1: I knew there was like a mile and a quarter
Speaker 1: of hunting, and I knew there were turkeys there because
Speaker 1: I'd been hunting there. And I felt like that this
Speaker 1: guy was never going to get past much more than
Speaker 1: a half a mile down the ridge.
Speaker 6: I already don't like where this is going.
Speaker 2: Well, I did the work, though.
Speaker 1: I knew where to park my truck like a mile away,
Speaker 1: I mean like three miles from him, and I crossed
Speaker 1: that deep canyon. In fact, I remember I found a
Speaker 1: bunch of bear sign down in the bottom of that
Speaker 1: canyon and came up on the finger ridge and hunting
Speaker 1: the last tip of it.
Speaker 2: Huh, what do you think?
Speaker 6: Yep?
Speaker 2: Bad, yep.
Speaker 7: Okay, I mean you definitely put some effort in. But yeah,
Speaker 7: I wouldn't do that.
Speaker 4: Mm hm hm Okay would you do it?
Speaker 6: Jordan?
Speaker 8: No, not if I in that situation, if it was
Speaker 8: like ten thousand acres back there.
Speaker 6: Possibly, But.
Speaker 2: Okay, well I got that off my chest.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm glad you said that, buddy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got that off.
Speaker 6: We got on ethical clay.
Speaker 3: Ye.
Speaker 7: I have a friend that I just feel the need
Speaker 7: to tell this story. I'm not going to say who
Speaker 7: it is because he wouldn't want me to. But I
Speaker 7: have a friend that we were driving to go turkey
Speaker 7: on and this was late in the season. I think
Speaker 7: we were heading somewhere north and he's telling me about
Speaker 7: his like current escapade that he had. He'd gone somewhere
Speaker 7: and killed a turkey, and and he's saying, he said, yeah,
Speaker 7: on the walkout, he said, there's a good many people
Speaker 7: hunting around. There's selling the walkout, he was plucking feathers
Speaker 7: from the turkey and putting turkey feathers under all their
Speaker 7: windshield wipers, like not messing there, not do it. I mean,
Speaker 7: just like he'd walk by a truck and he'd pluck
Speaker 7: a feather and just stick it under the wind show
Speaker 7: wiper and keep going. And I looked over at him,
Speaker 7: I was driving, and I said, did they do anything
Speaker 7: to you?
Speaker 4: And he's like, what do you mean?
Speaker 7: I was like, did they come in on you, they
Speaker 7: harassed you, they part close to you. He's like, no,
Speaker 7: I was like, bruh.
Speaker 6: He was just letting them know who the dad he was.
Speaker 7: I was like, bruh, you need to get that's some
Speaker 7: bad ju jus, Like you need to get that off you.
Speaker 4: And he was like no, And then he missed two
Speaker 4: turkeys in two days.
Speaker 2: Oh really, mm hmm.
Speaker 4: Hmm.
Speaker 6: There's something to it.
Speaker 4: M hmm.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I'm glad we had this discussion.
Speaker 4: I feel lighter, lighter, You feel lighter.
Speaker 8: Two minute story. The other morning, So my wife killed
Speaker 8: a turkey. She had we had childcare for Monday when
Speaker 8: we were playing on hunting. Okay, she ended up eating
Speaker 8: something didn't agree with her. She didn't feel good that
Speaker 8: night before, didn't feel good. It was good time to
Speaker 8: go turkey hunting next morning. So the night before, Lake
Speaker 8: tells me he's gonna go this spot. Thanks morning. Well,
Speaker 8: I text him. When I get on the road, I'm like, hey,
Speaker 8: Jesse is sick, can't go. I'm coming to meet you.
Speaker 8: I'll be there six o'clock. That's about thirty minutes goes
Speaker 8: by before I hear anything from him, and he sends
Speaker 8: me a text and says, hey, I'm going, my buddy,
Speaker 8: he said. He text me late last night said we're going,
Speaker 8: so I decided to go with him.
Speaker 6: I'm like, what am I going to do? Now?
Speaker 8: I'm on thirty minutes down the road because you're on
Speaker 8: his spot heading towards Lake spot.
Speaker 2: Ooh, that's a good one.
Speaker 8: And I go to his spot. I park at his
Speaker 8: spot at daylight at Gallan Tine. I walk into his
Speaker 8: spot and guess what's going on back there? A turkey
Speaker 8: is ripping it. I mean every thirty seconds, gatheroling. I
Speaker 8: go towards a turkey and my conscience goes eating at me.
Speaker 8: I get two hundred or so yards from the turkey
Speaker 8: gabling every thirty four or five seconds and turn around,
Speaker 8: walk back to my truck. And I'm not saying that.
Speaker 8: Praise myself, and that's why this guy is good. And
Speaker 8: like it started eating at me. I was like, Lake
Speaker 8: has not killed a turkey. I cannot go.
Speaker 2: Do this right, Wow, you've waited this whole podcast to tell.
Speaker 4: Us the sact.
Speaker 6: Jordan, Well, I'm not saying it. It's just like there's
Speaker 6: certain things.
Speaker 1: Okay, but what did but what did Lake tell you?
Speaker 1: Did Lake say just go in there? I did tell Okay,
Speaker 1: I mean that's important.
Speaker 7: Tell them there's some important context. One, I told them
Speaker 7: to go in there and hunt. Two, I've been burning
Speaker 7: to get to that spot for a while.
Speaker 4: It wasn't just a random buddy that texts me. It
Speaker 4: was Keith Pope.
Speaker 7: Yes, Keith polp got me my first turkey ever when
Speaker 7: I was twelve years old, and I have just so
Speaker 7: the stars have aligned. Have filmed both of his sons
