Posted on April 10, 2016 by shamanApril 23, 2021

I was back at the New Honey Hole today, erecting a blind. This spot differs in one main way from the original Honey Hole, about 10 yards to the north: it is considerably more exposed. I took a 5X12′ piece of burlap and split it lengthwise, and surrounded it with … Continue reading →

This is a question that is asked more out of ignorance than anything else. I don’t want to be confused with the Old Schoolers that think you have to limit your kit to what your grandfather used. I also do not want to suggest there is an ethical issue here. … Continue reading →

PODCAST: Wake-up Call 5 (11)

Posted on January 6, 2015 by shamanFebruary 5, 2026 2

etter late than never, here is the best of about 40 hours of recording. This is not like my other podcasts, because it is just raw turkey sounds with no commentary, no banjo music. The original recordings were from mid-April on a morning where all heck broke loose at the Honey Hole. I had several gobblers come in on me, but I could never get the cross-hairs on them. I selected the source tracks, because they were particularly clean and mixed it so it would be perfect wake-up music.

PODCAST: Angus Rolls the Gob 0 (0)

We’re just in from Turkey Camp– end of Week #1 of KY Spring Gobbler Season.

In between doing battle with the gobblers, I’ve been trying to edit down the podcast of Angus’ last hunt as a yute. It was a challenge– a lot of wind noise in the original sound. Some of it may sound a little funky, and there were three setups before we finally got a shot at a gobbler.
