Turkey Season Turkey Soup
This week, following a week off for a turkey trip, Cameron and Andy share a little turkey soup during turkey season.
Many states are starting to report their harvest and licensing statistics. So, Cameron and Andy share some stats for Ohio, Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Iowa. Overall, so far, many states are reporting excellent harvest statistics. Are these great harvest statistics due to higher turkey populations this year or due to higher hunter efforts and better weather? Well, it is really hard to tell in so many states because they do not know how many turkey hunters they have turkey hunting. So, these states have no clue as to whether there were more turkey hunters in the woods chasing turkeys or some other factor lead to the increase in harvest statistics.
In addition to the harvest stats, Cameron and Andy share the story of a hunter who was shot by his hunting partner, and how at some point he just realized and accepted the fact that he was going to be shot. This is a wild story with some pretty nasty looking pictures showing the wounds. Check them out online.
And, Andy shares two stories of "hunters" who let the dream of a fresh wild turkey in the freezer get the best of them in New York. Thanks to conservation officers enforcing the law, these two hunters were ticketed and had their turkeys confiscated.
This is a fun episode, so listen in!
