In 2015, a rookie racer became the first indigenous driver ever in the NASCAR Cup series.

A few months later though, he was arrested in the largest police operation in Canadian history.

Now he's fighting his case in court, and it may change the future of Native rights.

It's not only my fight, it's the whole nation's fight.

Today we are joined by my good friend, fellow meat eater, and a guy that just loves the hunt turkeys, the honest Patelus.

First we're going to dive into a few questions from the listeners, then we're going to dive into a conversation with Yannis,

going over decoying versus running gun, his picture perfect turkey hunting scenario, as well as his favorite seven days to be out in the field during the spring.

Alright, we're going to jump right into the Q&A from social email and past episodes.

The first question we have today is how far can a turkey hear your call?

Whether we look at the scientific research versus what our experience tells us out in the field, a lot of scientists say that they can hear at least a quarter mile, some say in perfect conditions they can hear up to a half a mile.

Yannis, what would you say just from your experience hunting, getting responses, how does terrain matter, calmness of the day, fog versus windy, give us your opinion and then I'll use some of my examples to decide how far they can hear.

I think the quick answer would be yeah, that quarter mile, half mile, bad conditions versus great conditions, that sounds about right.

But I do think that there's a lot of nuances that I am constantly thinking about when I'm calling to turkeys. If I don't know they're there, if I haven't heard them.

And certainly probably even more than terrain, I'd say it's foliage. Like the amount of foliage on the trees, the amount of trees in general that are between you and the turkey, you know, because out west, you know, we're mostly hunting coniferous forests, right.

It was just needles on the trees. A little more open temper. No real leaves. Now obviously thick evergreen could I think soak up some sound big time.
