Episodes
This week’s episode is all about fathers. With Father’s Day upon us, we asked our listeners to share stories about the men who shaped their lives, and y’all delivered.
Some of these stories are about great dads. Others are about grandfathers, mentors & coaches who stepped in when they were needed most. Some take place in deer camps and dove fields.. others have nothing to do with hunting a...
Last week’s conversation about Alpha-Gal syndrome generated a lot of interest.. so we’re back with Part 2. Once again, I’m joined by Dr. David Allen, a healthcare professional who has personally lived with Alpha-Gal for more than two decades.
In this episode, we dive deeper into the realities of living with Alpha-Gal, including common misconceptions, hidden triggers, long-term outlook, prevention st...
We’ve been hearing more and more about Alpha-gal syndrome and because so many of us spend our lives outdoors, I wanted to spend some time digging into this important topic. So this week I’m joined by Dr. David Allen, a healthcare professional who has personally lived with Alpha-gal syndrome for more than two decades. That unique perspective gives him insight not only as a medical expert, but as someone w...
This week I’m sitting down with Scott Branca from Branca Boys Spurs. Most turkey hunters know Scott from his incredible replica spur creations and custom knives but there’s a whole lot more to the man than craftsmanship.
We talked turkeys .. how a hunt back in 1994 changed his life forever and why turkey hunting gets so deep in a man’s soul. Scott is one of those humble, steady people you’re t...
This week I’m sitting down with the guys from Great Plains Ag to talk summer food plots. Folks tend to overthink it sometimes, but the truth is it doesn’t have to be complicated. Heck… I did it.
We’re talking timing, planting tips, mistakes to avoid, and ways to make your property better without turning it into a full time job. If you’ve been thinking about putting in a summer plot but ...
This week’s episode is a little different and it’s one that means a whole lot to me. A few weeks ago I got a message from a family down in Georgia about a man named Jeff Daniel who was going through one of the hardest seasons of his life after losing his wife earlier this year. They thought maybe a short phone call from me might lift his spirits a little.
Instead, I loaded up and drove to Georgia. What fo...
This week I’m in the middle of the spring turkey run, and it’s been a good one. I’m sharing two hunts that couldn’t have been more different… but both meant a lot.
First, a road trip out to Nebraska with two of my grandsons where Cranky wrapped up his Grand Slam. There’s nothing like watching that happen and being there for it. Then, back closer to home, an unexpected hunt with my...
This week we’re back with Part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Marcus Lashley, better known as Dr. Disturbance. Last week we got into plenty of turkey talk and this week we’re picking right back up where we left off.
Marcus has spent a lifetime studying wild turkeys but what I enjoy most is talking to him as a hunter. There’s a difference between knowing about turkeys and knowing how to hunt them.. an...
This week I’m sitting down with Dr. Marcus Lashley, better known to many of y’all as Dr. Disturbance. Most folks want to talk science, biology and research when they sit down with Marcus. That’s all good and well, but I wanted to talk TURKEY HUNTING.
And let me tell you something… this man knows his way around the woods. We swapped stories, talked hunting strategy and what years in the woods ...
God bless Texas. In this episode, I’m recapping a special trip down to the Lone Star State, starting with a hunt alongside the winner of the Foxhole Shootout Auction and then heading to Heart of Texas with my three grandsons.
The highlight? My youngest grandson Ben (better known as “Cranky”) joining the brotherhood. He was able to harvest his 2nd Rio, but this time he called all the shots. Thi...
After sharing the first five, it’s time to finish the list. In Part 2 of the “10 Commandments of Turkey Hunting,” I’m covering commandments six through ten… the rest of the tongue-in-cheek lessons the spring woods have taught me over the years. If you’ve spent any time chasing turkeys, you’ll probably recognize yourself in more than one of these. And if you’re n...
After the overwhelming response to my NWTF Convention talk, I figured I’d bring the “10 Commandments of Turkey Hunting” straight to the podcast. These aren’t hardcore how to rules… they’re the tongue-in-cheek lessons and humorous truths you only learn in the turkey woods. In Part 1, I’m sharing the first five commandments. They’ll hopefully make you laugh, nod your he...
This week I’m sharing my account of the Mossy Oak 2026 Veterans Hunt down in south Florida. These hunts are always special. It’s time spent with men who’ve given more than most of us ever will. I’ve got a lot of admiration for these warriors and what they represent. Grateful for everyone who helps make it happen and for all of you who continue to support it.

We’re wrapping up the Secret Sauce series with a man I’ve known a long time and respected even longer, Bo Prestidge.
Bo is a longtime friend, a Mossy Oak brother, a farmer, outfitter and a true student of the land. From his early days in Tyronza, Arkansas, to building a farming operation in Mississippi and growing Wildlife, Inc. into one of the most respected hunting destinations in the country, Bo has sp...
The Secret Sauce series rolls on and this week I’m sitting down with one of my favorite turkey hunters on the planet, Fred Law. Fred has spent a lifetime in the turkey woods and decades guiding deer and turkey hunters in south Alabama. When you’ve guided that many hunters (year after year) you learn things you can’t get from a book or a highlight reel. Fred has seen just about every mistake, every ...
This week we pause our Secret Sauce series to remember a man who meant a great deal to us.. Mr. Fox Haas.
In the days since his passing, I’ve heard from people across the country who felt connected to him through stories, photos and the adventures his family so generously shared. That connection speaks to the kind of man he was.
At the recent NWTF Convention, the long lines of people wanting something conn...
The Secret Sauce series keeps rolling and in this one I’m visiting with Dean “Redbeard” Mundhenke of Mad Hatter Calls. Dean is a call maker, turkey hunter and one of the most thoughtful minds I’ve ever been around in the turkey woods. You may recognize him from The Disease, a documentary that perfectly captures the obsession, sacrifice and pull that turkey hunting has on those of us who...
This week we’re bringing back one of my favorite things we do on Fist Full of Dirt .. The Secret Sauce. I ask the same 20 questions to four of the best turkey hunters on the planet. Different regions. Different styles. Different backgrounds. Same questions.
We’re kicking this series off with a legend. Ernie Calandrelli has spent more than 40 years in the turkey woods. He’s a Hall of Fame turke...
Every year before a single gobbler sounds off, I like to visit with someone who truly understands turkeys and the people who chase them. For me, that’s Dave Owens of The Pinhoti Project. Dave is a champion turkey caller, a teacher at heart and one of the most respected voices in turkey hunting today. Through his videos, storytelling and honesty.. he’s helped countless hunters become better in the woods. ...
Hard to believe it’s been 50 years, because I remember when this all started.
This week I’m visiting with Chris Kirby of Quaker Boy, a turkey calling champion, Hall of Famer and the man now carrying the torch for a company built by his father Dick Kirby. We talk about honoring his dad and what it means to follow something you were truly *called* to do. From competition stages to call-making benches to spr...
