The Southern Outdoorsmen Hunting Podcast

In this episode we are joined by our friend Kyle Sides, who has been tagging along with us on some hunts after he tagged out in Alabama earlier this season! Kyle is younger than a lot of guys we interview on turkey hunting, but he is a true woodsman and is skilled at turkey hunting well beyond his years. We talk about Kyle's fast and aggressive hunting style, how to get in a bird's bubble to make him callable, and how these tactics paid off for Jacob with his 2nd public land longbeard of the season here in Alabama!

Give Kyle a call for any of your land buying and selling needs - https://www.mossyoakproperties.com/agent/kyle-sides/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=1554312916&gbraid=0AAAAADQuGUod6HkvCTxQS-1oAAAq6xRB2&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2MbPBhCSARIsAP3jP9zojt2IUdSFdJ-drqds5OEqZ9p4foakcu43x8d8Oq0vLcsXlAprFcYaAgMOEALw_wcB

In this episode, we break down the idea that every gobbler has a short window—sometimes just 3 days—where he can be called, worked, and tagged. If you don’t recognize it, you’ll hunt right through it and never know he was beatable.

We cover how to identify that window, what changes in a gobbler’s behavior, and the mistakes that keep hunters from capitalizing on it. From henned-up birds to late-season shifts, this episode is about understanding when the odds finally swing in your favor—and being ready when they do.

Topics discussed:

The “3-day window” when a gobbler is killable

How to recognize when a bird becomes vulnerable

Common mistakes that cause hunters to miss their opportunity

Calling strategies when gobblers are with hens

Why calling to the gobbler isn’t always the right move

Late-season behavior and how it changes your approach

Knowing when to stay, move, or back out

The mindset shift that leads to more consistent success

We have had a wild week of hunting in Alabama! In this episode we are joined by Kaiden Grey of Primal Frame Photography, who has been filming our hunts this week. In this episode we talk about where we have been finding gobblers this time of the season, what we have found works best for moving on midday gobblers, how to pinpoint gobbles in hill country where it echos, and more!

84 years old. 68 years chasing turkeys.

Crawford Bush grew up in a different era of hunting—before leases, before technology, before modern tactics. In this conversation, he shares what he’s learned from a lifetime in the woods, the mistakes that taught him the most, and why many hunters today are making things harder than they need to.

In this episode:

- How Crawford got started turkey hunting nearly 70 years ago
- What hunting was like before modern gear, decoys, and mapping apps
- The biggest mistakes he made early (and what they taught him)
- Why patience matters more than calling ability
- How often you should actually call to a gobbler
- What most hunters today get wrong about turkey hunting
- The difference between old-school and modern tactics
- Why knowing your woods is more important than anything else
- How turkeys behave differently than most hunters think
- Lessons from hunting public vs private land over the decades
- Stories from a lifetime of chasing gobblers

This week we are throwing it back to an episode from 2021 with Tim Knight, one of the most well known turkey bowhunters. Tim is a wealth of knowledge on turkey hunting, where you choose to hunt with a bow or a gun! In this episode we do a deep dive on how Tim scouts to KNOW where a gobbler will end up at some point in the day, how he conceals himself differently than 90% of turkey hunters, his calling style, when to move on a gobbler and a lot more.
