Stop hunting turkeys in the spring? In episode 250 of the HuntStand Podcast, Tony Hudak joins the show. He’s completed the turkey hunting “Super Slam” across 49 states—and he’s doing it all over again. One of the biggest reasons he’s been able to pull that off comes down to a mindset shift most hunters overlook: not just hunting turkeys in the spring, but targeting them in the fall.
Tony breaks down how chasing birds outside of the traditional spring window opens up more opportunity, less pressure, and a completely different style of hunting. From locating flocks and breaking them up to calling them back in, fall turkey hunting requires a different playbook than the run-and-gun tactics most hunters rely on in the spring.
If you’re stuck doing the same thing every April and wondering why it’s not clicking, this episode will challenge how you think about turkey season and give you a new approach to stay in the game longer and tag more birds.
