Summary

Turkey Talk with Walter Parrott This week, Cameron and Andy have a first for you guys. Walter Parrott joins the show to talk turkey. Walter shares his introduction to turkey hunting and competitive calling as well. He shares how he got hooked up with Knight and Hale to be on their pro staff and do some filming for them in their early years of business. Walter eagerly joined in on the rapid fire Q&A, which led to some great follow up questions and answers. He also talks about his observations of the turkey population in his home state of Missouri. Walter also shares how important it is to sit in one spot in the woods long enough for a turkey to approach rather than "run and gun". He also shares how important it is for us hunters to just slow down while we are in the turkey woods. This episode is part one of a 2 part episode, and one you do now want to miss. Listen in!
