  • How to find a “free” turkey property
  • Once you have a new property, how do you go about e-scouting it with HuntStand?
  • How do turkey use a property differently than deer?
  • What’s in their crop?
  • How to sweet talk that hung up gobbler into shotgun range
  • Late vs Early season – what’s better?
  • Which turkey sub species is the easiest to kill?
  • What about reaping?
