Inside 21 South: Cameras, Travel, and Turkey Hunting Passion

We sit down with Toby Dean Smith and Taylor Boland from Mississippi's 21 South crew at this week's NWTF Convention and Sports Show to talk filming turkeys with discipline, long road trips, and building a vest that fits the most active of turkey hunters. We trade hard-won lessons on gear, scouting, food on the road, and why community beats competition.

• filming tips for clean turkey hunts
• mirrorless vs handycam trade-offs in the field
• building an athletic, run and gun style turkey vest
• big-lens stories and first filming mistakes
• long-haul travel, truck sleep, and cheap hotels
• fast food vs local diners on the road
• 2026 spring plans across multiple states
• adapting scouting when maps and acorns lie
• deer and turkey behavior in a heavy acorn year
• community over competition across brands
