Summary

Stanley Wymbs has spent a lifetime chasing gobblers and building turkey calls. In this episode we sit down with Stanley to talk about the lessons he’s learned from decades in the turkey woods, from mastering woodsmanship to understanding how turkeys actually communicate.

In this episode we cover: • Why woodsmanship matters more than calling in turkey hunting • The biggest mistakes turkey hunters make in the woods • How to become a more effective weekend warrior hunter • Why patience is one of the most important skills in turkey hunting • When and why to use the Keekee call in the spring • How turkeys communicate and how hunters can use that to their advantage • Setup strategies that help you kill more gobblers Whether you’re new to turkey hunting or have been chasing gobblers for years, this conversation is packed with practical insights that will make you a better turkey hunter this spring.

We've all got that one shirt that we wear way too often because it just works for everything and it's comfortable. Well, that kind of shirt is what Poncho outdoors has nailed. I've got a flannel and a denim from poncho. And the first thing I noticed about both of them when I got them out of the package was how soft they were right out of the box, especially the denim. It is butter soft. It's very nice. And when I say it works for everything,

0:21.5

what I mean by that is it's got a little stretch to it,

0:23.8

but it's very nice. And when I say it works for everything, what I mean

0:21.8

by that is it's got a little stretch to it, but it's still tough. And I mean, I'm wearing the thing

0:26.2

if I'm at the house working, or if I'm out in the fields running my dogs like I was doing

0:30.2

earlier today. And the cool thing about poncho is that they really care about making their shirts your

0:35.1

new go-to. They offer free shipping, free returns, and even

0:38.8

exchanges any time. They stand by every shirt they make. And if you order a shirt and it's not

0:42.9

your favorite, they'll let you exchange it even months later. So check them out sometime. You're

0:47.2

really, really going to like them. You can go to poncho outdoors.com slash outdoorsman. Enter your

1:01.3

heard about them, let them know that the Southern Outdoorsmen sent you. White Tail Hill

1:05.1

Chestnuts sells the best types of mass producing trees for white tails. If you're looking for

1:09.9

a highly attractive, highly reliable food source to add to your property, you need to look at some of the trees they got. They've got all kinds of different species that produce quickly, most of them in just two to five years, that are highly attractive to deer like chestnuts, persimmons, crab apples, oaks, plums, pears, and more. The cool thing about planting trees on your

1:28.5

property for whitetails is that it's a permanent food source that's going to be there probably

1:32.7

long after you're gone. White Tail Hill makes the process easy. They'll ship the trees right to your

1:37.3

door and they even have a tree selection guide on their website where you just answer a couple

questions and it'll match you up with whatever tree fits your situation the best. So you can check out everything that they have to offer at whitetailchestnuts.com.
