DISCOVERING | Heroes' Harvests Turkey Hunt


Subscribe:


Episode 133 - Another successful year at the Heroes' Harvests Shawn Runkle Great Lakes Turkey Hunt in Delta County. I sat with a local veteran who got his first gobbler, plus I talked to the founder of Heroes' Harvests about the mission of the organization and why he started it.

Plus a little more Turkey 101 with Ryan McGillviray of the Michigan DNR, about how to distinguish a Jake vs. a Tom by their tailfeathers, and how a short beard doesn't always mean it's a Jake.

And I show off my Dad's first turkey!
