Lesson One
Each course begins with an overview so you know what to expect. We also introduce you to the focus of the course which is the Eastern Wild Turkey.
Lesson Two
In lesson two we start out with the basics of turkey hunting so you've got a starting frame of reference. We then jump right into one of the most enjoyable parts of the hunt and that's calling.
Lesson Three
The Eastern Wild Turkey is the most widely distributed turkey and is our main focus in this course. We'll cover key characteristics and how to identify a legal bird.
Lesson Four
What are the things you need to have prepared before your hunt? This and more is what we'll cover, including scouting, locations, gear and more.
Lesson Five
What are the considerations when you actually go on your first hunt? Follow along as we take you on a first hunt and you get to learn from what the new hunters did right, and what they would have done differently.
Lesson Six
You worked hard to harvest your bird. Now comes the rewarding part of the process. Jamie Carlson will show you how to cook wild turkey and impress your friends and family.
