There’s more than one way to kill a gobbler.
 
Dylan is joined by Nate Hosie to break down proven turkey hunting tactics for chasing long-beards in every scenario. From aggressive run-and-gun setups to slowing down on pressured birds, we dive into the strategies that consistently get it done.
 
If you’ve ever wondered how and when to implement different tactics for chasing those spring gobblers and becoming more consistent this turkey season, this episode is packed with practical, real-world insight. If you’re obsessed with chasing gobblers… this one’s for you.

Why Are Turkeys Where They Are? 
If you understand habitat, you stop chasing turkeys and start predicting them. 
Dylan is joined by Dr. Michael Chamberlain, who has spent more than three decades studying the iconic game bird, balancing his role as a leading academic with his passion as a hunter. He was named the NWTF Distinguished Professor at the University of Georgia—the nation’s first endowed position devoted solely to wild turkey research.
There aren’t many people on the planet who understand a turkey’s habitat as well as Dr. Chamberlain, and he’s here lay it all out! 

To kick off TURKEY WEEK, Dylan is joined by Michael Waddell to share his passion for turkey hunting, and help fire the listener up to get out this spring and chase those gobblers!
 
The passion for turkey hunting is something that runs DEEP in many, but none as deep The Bone Collector!

Dylan is joined by Bryan Burkhardt to relive one incredible hunt, paying tribute to Fred Bear and Glenn St. Charles: The Little Delta Tribute Hunt. 
 
Bryan is FULL of incredible bowhunting stories, but none as great as setting out to pay tribute to bowhunting legends and slipping an arrow into an incredible bull moose! 

What would it be like to WIN a SHEEP HUNT!?
Dylan is joined by Bucky Ihlenfeldt, who was drawn for the <1% drawing at Sheep Show and he put EVERYTHING he had into getting ready for this hunt of a lifetime!
Less than ONE percent of hunters will ever have the chance to kill a wild sheep, and here’s Bucky’s chance. But can he close the deal? With so many obstacles standing in his way, it seems impossible. But he never quit. 

Hunting with…FALCONS!? 
Dylan is joined by falconer, Tyler Sladen, along with one of his good friends, John Gardner, to take a deep dive into the world of falconry. 
Falconry is the OLDEST form of hunting, and it’s not really something you can just START. It’s a long, hard process, taking THOUSANDS of hours to train a bird. 
Dylan has a ton of questions for Tyler as he tries to understand this incredible lifestyle of hunting with falcons! 

Dylan is joined by Wyoming big game outfitter Cade Cole to talk about why people insist on being defined as a bowhunter, rather than simply a hunter. Is it pride? Is it ego? Does being a bowhunter make you better than someone who uses a different weapon? 
At the end of the day, we are HUNTERS, and we should all support ALL hunters! 

Dylan is joined by Ethan Stubbs in the Tuo booth at ATA.
Ethan is someone who pours everything he has into building better habitat for the deer. He shares some advice on how you can do the same: what to look for, what to do, things to add/takeaway, and what to be doing this time of year to better the deer on your property.
You also get to hear about Ethan’s roller coaster of a deer season with all of the highs, and the lows!

Dylan is joined by Justin Zarr, from Bowhunt or Die, in the ScentLok booth at ATA 2026.
 
The two discuss Justin’s journey and the beginnings of Bowhunt or Die. They also talk about Justin’s season and punching a tag on an absolutely incredible public land buck in Kansas!
 
You get a sneak peak of some of the new pieces from ScentLok, and a rundown of some of Justin and Dylan’s favorite pieces.
