    764 - Why Most Turkey Hunters Are Doing Too Much | Dean "Redbeard" Mundhenke

    Today we are joined by Dean "Redbeard" Mundhenke of Georgia. Redbeard is a well known custom call maker and a dyed in the wool old school turkey hunter - and in this episode we cover: How Redbeard was introduced to turkey hunting and why it took years to truly understand it Why woodsmanship matters more than calling when it comes to taking gobblers Common mistakes turkey hunters make by calling too much and moving too fast Learning to read turkeys through terrain, travel routes, and other wildlife How squirrel hunting, crows, and woodpeckers help reveal gobblers The evolution from aggressive calling to quiet, minimal calling Why many turkeys are taken with little—or no—calling at all Early vs late season turkey hunting strategies and why late season is often overlooked The value of staying on one property long-term instead of constantly traveling Memorable hunts, hard lessons, and the turkeys that he never got How turkey hunting culture has changed with media and social platforms The origin story of Mad Hatter Calls and the philosophy behind handmade friction calls Why the gobble still creates a primal adrenaline rush after decades in the woods Check out Redbeard's call company, Madhatter Calls - https://linkly.link/2ZuKS Check out the Hunt Regs App - https://linkly.link/2ZuKR Got a question for the show?

    762 - 45 Years of Turkey Hunting Wisdom | Claude Strother
    Feb 2 2026
    Today we have a special interview for you guys. We were able to sit down with 82 year old Claude Strother of Gastonburg, Alabama for an in depth discussion on his life & turkey hunting. At the time we recorded this interview Mr. Claude was battling cancer, and unfortunatley he passed away just a few weeks before the release of this episode. In this episode, Claude shares stories from the early days of turkey hunting, how the sport has changed over the years, and what he believes most hunters get wrong today. We talk old-school turkey hunting tactics, calling styles, patience, woodsmanship, and why getting close still matters more than gear or gimmicks. Along the way, Claude reflects on a lifetime spent in the woods, the lessons turkey hunting has taught him, and the importance of preserving hunting stories, southern heritage, and the culture that comes with it. This episode isn’t just about killing turkeys...it’s about wisdom earned, mistakes made, and a way of life that’s slowly fading. Got a question for the show?
