574 - Hunt like an OLD PRO! with Ron "Coach" Watters

This week we are bringing you an interview from the home of Ron "Coach" Watters, a man who has tagged more birds than we have probably ever seen! Ron is a true old-school turkey pro and a custom call maker. He began hunting turkeys in the 1970s and has a family history of turkey hunting in Alabama going back to the 1930's and earlier. We discuss:

Ron's grandfather, who was killed while turkey hunting in 1939

Ron's scratch box call made by his grandfather in the 1930's

The "3 p's" of being a good turkey hunter (or any kind of hunter)

Covert calling tactics

Find where a bird calls "home" and hunt him there

Hunting a bird on his terms, and winning

The "Death Call"

Learning from good hunters while still charting your own path

and TONS more! This episode is a real treat and we are very excited for you guys to hear it! If you enjoy the show, please share it with a buddy!
