When it comes to wild turkeys, the Eastern gobbler (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) is the ultimate boss of all five subspecies that canvas the country. He’s a triumphant icon of wild turkey restoration and one of the greatest conservation success stories in American history. The Eastern wild turkey is also greatly regarded as the most difficult turkey to hunt.
In this HuntStand Original Series presented by Mossberg and Aimpoint, host Brett Joy and a crew of hardcore turkey hunters will bring viewers along for an “Eastern Strut” throughout the Northeast—a region where Eastern wild turkeys dominate massive blocks of hardwood timber, private agricultural ground, and vast, mountainous tracts of public wilderness.
This series will be published weekly on Mondays, running from April 16 – June 4.
The Eastern Strut team will use the HuntStand app to plan their strategies, locate and scout for birds, and make crucial game-time decisions during their hunts. They’ll be carrying an arsenal of Mossberg turkey guns topped with Aimpoint optics to close the deal on tough toms. This series will take an adventure approach to turkey hunting. Viewers will be energized and motivated each week to grab their gear and join the thrilling pursuit of spring gobblers.
