451 - Just Around the Corner - A Recap of Our Merriam Turkey Hunt in the Northwest

In Today's show, I brought together John Weik of Northwest Spur Chasers, and Pastor Chris Taylor on Immanual Baptist Church in Glasglow, Kentucky to relive our incredible hunt for Merriam turkeys in Idaho and Washington.

A few weeks ago, John invited myself and Chris to join him in Northern Idaho and Washington to hunt Merriam turkeys. This was our first time to the Northwest to hunt turkey's and the trip was incredible. I have been fortunate to hunt all across this country for many species, but as you know, turkey's are my passion. Joining John and Chris, and Tom Watson of Promise Peak podcast was arguably one of the best hunts I have ever taken.

In short we bagged six birds in three days. But the hunt iteslf was amazing and incredible. We walked and walked, and called and called. Day one found us in Idaho, hearing birds gobbling at the top of a ridge. John led us on a trek that took hours to reach the top where the birds were. Winding around one corner and then the next for miles and miles. At every corner, we stopped, called and moved on. John kept saying, "they are just around the corner" we didn't know it would be 75 corners before we finally got to the birds. Chris and I doubled on the first group to show itself, and merely 100 yards later, we called in 3 more strutters and just sat and watched them for 15 minutes put on a show like I have never seen. The day ended with me taking my second Idaho bird. (All of this can be seen on John's YouTube channel - Northwest Spur Chasers) the next morning Chris got his second Idaho bird. Day three saw, us walking 13+ miles chasing birds.

Listen as we relive the excitement, fatigue and laughter of turkeys, misses, and worshiping God in the great Northwest.
