Episode #1107: Lake Pickle

Jeff Stanfield and Andy Shaver are joined by Lake Pickle for a fun, wide-ranging conversation covering turkey hunting, waterfowl hunting, and big-game hunting in Africa.

The guys dive into the latest science surrounding wild turkey populations, the struggles facing turkey numbers across the country, what makes the turkey woods so special, and Lake lists his favorite state to chase gobblers.

The conversation then shifts to waterfowl hunting and the different phases every hunter goes through as they get older. From the early obsession with chasing birds and filling limits to eventually appreciating the people, places, traditions, and experiences that come with a lifetime of hunting, they break down how the pursuit changes over time.

Lake also takes the guys along on his recent African hunting trip, sharing stories from an incredible adventure on the other side of the world. He details some of the wild experiences that came with the trip and what made the hunt such a memorable journey.
