Summary

Beau Martonik sits down with Jason Redd of Timber Ninja Outdoors, recorded off the tailgate on the last day of a turkey camp trip in West Virginia. They recap three days of hunting — birds that gobbled all day on day one, a tom that put on a show for 90 minutes and never committed, roosted birds that got crashed by trespassers on day two, and a quiet final morning that just didn't come together. Good conversation on when to stay on a bird vs. move on, and what makes mountain turkey hunting so hard to predict. Jason also breaks down how he's been running the MTN Runner vest this season — what's working, what he'd change, and how he's setting it up differently for turkey vs. deer. Plus a first look at the Ronin, Timber Ninja's new single panel saddle coming out this summer.
