Summary

Early Season Tactics with Cameron and Andy This week, Cameron and Andy kick off episode number one of their first series of episodes on Early Season Tactics. We talk about the geographical differences between early seasons and subspecies of turkeys across the country and how that should affect your strategies. We also discuss how your pre-season scouting can make or break early season success for you. One of the several tactics we discuss is how challenging gobblers, depending on where the birds are in their breeding cycle, can be a very good strategy to use on early season toms. There are several great tips and strategies discussed in this episode, so listen in! Here is the link to this year's hunt raffle to benefit the NWTF and TFT. Buy early and buy often!
