The Rolling Thunder Podcast

Ep 51 - Chase the Thrill w/ Michael Goodrum and...Canada?

In this episode, Rob and Spence are joined by Michael Goodrum from Nashville, TN. Michael isn't your average turkey hunter and loves shaking it up during turkey season with his weekly raps which drop on, you guessed it... Fridays. 

For Michael, a successful turkey hunt, doesn't always end with pulling the trigger (even though you were staring down the barrel) right at him. It's about chasing the thrill...not the kill. 

 

Ep 50 - Pennsylvania Gobblers

In this episode, Spence and Tripp catch us up on their recent trip to Pennsylvania to hunt with Hunter Wallis, his father Jeff Wallis, and Kevin Taylor. It was a great hunt with plenty of lessons learned...

Ep 43 - Round II: David Hawley of Wild Turkey Report

In this episode, we are joined by our good buddy, David Hawley, on the back porch of Feathers Chapel to catch up on the season so far and to talk about hunting educated birds, managing your property for healthier, more sustainable turkey populations, the resurgence of the turkey trumpet, the mission of the Wild Turkey Report, and about why you should never lock Black Betty without asking...

If you don't follow the Wild Turkey Report, you do yourself a disservice. It is a wealth of knowledge and an all around great resource. David is passionate about turkeys now, but he's even more passionate about turkeys in the future. A legacy matters. Passing down skills and a love of the wild turkey to future generations is the only thing that will ensure that we'll still be in the woods in early spring waiting on a gobble.

Ep 42 - Dr. Mike Chamberlain a.k.a The Wild Turkey Doc

Alright - you're going to want to take out a pencil and a piece of paper for this one. We were fortunate enough to get on the line with one of the most interesting and influential people in the turkey world. Dr. Mike Chamberlain a.k.a the Wild Turkey Doc. Dr. Chamberlain is a Terrell Professor in the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources at the University of Georgia. His research and the insights we gather from the data are significantly influencing the way that we think about turkey movement, behavior, and population. We discuss various topics including turkey behavior, trapping and transponder research efforts, nest predators and predator control, predation on turkeys by the great horned owl, and about turkey hunting in general. 

We hope to get the Wild Turkey Doc on the podcast for an episode in the future. If we didn't touch on a particular topic you'd like to hear us discuss, please let us know and we'll try to get it in in a subsequent episode!
