I have Jeff Foxworthy and welcome to Gamekeeper Podcast.

If you want to learn more about farming for wildlife and habitat management, then buddy,

you are in the right place.

Join the gamekeeper crew direct from Mosey Oakland Enhancement Studio as they discuss the

latest wildlife and habitat management practices, news, and of course, hunting.

There's no telling what you'll learn, but I'm going to tell you, I bet it's interesting.

Enjoy it.

We're live in three, two, one.

All right, welcome everybody, West Point, Mississippi.

It feels like spring, landing.

The turkey tailgates going on.

Youth season opens tomorrow. You know, these mornings, no jacket required. The natives are restless. Yeah. I bet we're going to have a lot of mosquitoes by the time of the season. We've already got a lot of mosquitoes in my house. I think they're predicting a cold snap. It seems like every, yeah, right, when it opens. The real thing. We got a big rain coming in the next year.

A lot of rain, yeah. Forecasts from three to maybe five inches in the next week. Oh, whew. That's a lot. That's more when we got to haul in. Maybe it'll watch the pollen away. It'll certainly help. It's definitely, you're sure, greening up, that's for sure. There's a lot of people burning. there's a lot going on in the Gamekeeper world.

It's really exciting to see more and more folks burning. So you know you've had a good week burning. There's the new judge of that I found. So I get home and Diane's like, whew. That's right. Gasoline or something. something. What does that smell? Smoke. I go scrub and I come back out to get some suppers. She's made. She'd go back and bathe again. So you know you've had a good week burning. You have to take two hours. The inside of my car smells like a drip torch. Yeah. The smoke is not so bad. It's the smell of the diesel. The diesel, mostly diesel, actually. Are you using a, what's your ratio of diesel and gasoline? One third, two thirds. One third. I put a couple gloves and gas of one and a couple gloves and the other. Two diesel, one gas. Two diesel one gas. Correct. Yes. I used to do more gas. They say that these tanks we have. If it's cold, you add more gas. Sorry for interrupting. No, that's, yeah. But, I mean, the drip torch, I think, from what I hear, 40, 60-40 is still good. But you definitely don't want too much gas. It doesn't work as well either, you know. Unless you're Tim Brooks. Oh, no. You know that John Stivers, that four-day course he puts on? I'd love to go sit through that. I think we were talking about having him here and hosting a one-day course. And we've actually had a lot of people that have come. And, hey, I want to sign up and do that if y'all do it.

So we should definitely consider it.

We could do it in my place and get a burn out of it. That's right. No, look at you. Yeah. How about that? That deggum, Dudley, is strategic. He is smart. but we would have to blindfold them to get them there so

well nobody would want to do that

let's talk about hiding from things

well we are turkey blindfold them to get them there. Well, nobody would want to do that.

Let's talk about hiding from things.

That's right. Well, we are. Turkey season. Yeah, let's turn over here. Well, look at on the guest couch sitting here. He's driven all the way from somewhere in North Carolina. Yeah, we're just talking about that. We've got Mr. Pat Newcomb. And his company, so his name is Newcomb, N-E-W-C-O-M-B. Okay. The B is silent, Lanny. Then we've got, his company is called Newcombe blind. Yeah. We've been giving them away for a couple of years. It's kind of a play on words that really confused Lanny a few days ago, Pat. Well, I just found out

that your name was actually Newcomb, and I was like, because I mean, I always thought, you know. I was like, what a coincidence. He got named after his own word. Yeah, yeah. I was like, all his name's actually Newcomb, but misspelled. So that's, I mean, excuse me, I guess you're not misspelled, but spelled a different way.
