Summary
Jeff Stanfield and Andy Shaver are joined by Stacey Coker, fresh off a once-in-a-lifetime Gould’s turkey hunt in Chihuahua.
Stacey walks the guys through the entire adventure, from the long journey from the airport to a remote hunting camp deep in the mountains, to striking up his first Gould’s turkey and spending a week off the grid in old Mexico. He also shares stories about camp life, the local culture, and the unforgettable cuisine.
The conversation then turns to the decline of upland bird hunting in Stacey’s part of the country and how the collapse of the fur market has impacted predator control and upland bird populations. They also discuss Stacey’s upcoming tripletail fishing trip to Venice, one of the premier saltwater fishing destinations on the Gulf Coast.
To wrap things up, Stacey shares a hair-raising story about encountering an unexpected hitchhiker in the middle of a remote holler.
