Summary: Welcome to The Rich Outdoors podcast. Spring hunting is here and I have seen a ton of gobblers hitting the ground already. Actually, as this podcast airs, I am going to be in Oregon chasing thunder chickens for my first nonresident Oregon hunt. I hear a lot of people talk about bear hunting vs turkey hunting. To me, it doesn’t really make sense, I’m all for both. In two months you can easily do plenty of both and throw in a pig hunt, couple shed hunting trips, maybe a bow fishing trip or 5. Yes to all of it. I love chasing true mountain birds, I have nothing against people shooting valley birds, but to me, I would rather comb the mountains all day trying to locate a bird and chase him just like I would a big bull elk. It is just what I like to do.<br> <br> In this episode, I am joined by world-renowned turkey caller and accomplished elk hunter, Chris Parrish. We talk about some of the similarities and differences between chasing turkeys and elk. We also go over many of the mistakes people make and how to go from being a good turkey caller to a great turkey caller.<br> <br> Huge thanks to today’s show sponsor, <a href="https://timetogowild.com/">goWild</a> App, <a href="https://timetogowild.com/">goWild</a> is the newest and coolest way to connect with your friends about the outdoors. <a href="https://timetogowild.com/">GoWild</a> has their own patented scoring system that allows you to log your hunts, your training, your scouting and compete with friends.

If you fancy yourself a turkey hunter or even a connoisseur of turkeys, an <a href="http://www.onxmaps.com">On X Maps</a> would be a huge tool in the turkey vest. With the <a href="http://www.onxmaps.com">On X Maps</a> on your phone, you could find those birds that are moving between public and private land or find access to public land that will hold remote birds that no one has messed with yet.<br> One of my favorite features of <a href="http://www.onxmaps.com">On X Maps</a> is the ability to see land and vegetation features. One of the ways I use this is to look at the maps and make an educated guess on where that bird is roosting as well as where that bird is going to fly down or head to in the morning. From there I can mark that location and be set up on a small meadow before daylight. I really love the ability to see openings and changes in vegetation in satellite view, right on my phone.<br> <br> Also, stay tuned after the show as I have an iTunes 5 star shout out and a TRO hoody to give away!<br> <br> Show Notes:<br> Start – Introduction to Chris Parrish<br> Chris’s Background – 9:23<br> What Drives You – 12:52<br> The Hunt: When & How – 18:55<br> Calling: Sequence & Tactics – 42:45<br> Dynamics – 52:17<br> Decoys & Setups – 1:07:54<br> Phelps Turkey Calls – 1:19:16<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>
