Join in on our first LIVE podcast experience from Rick's Cafe in Starkville, Mississippi. It's hard to put into words how awesome it felt to see that entire venue fill-up with Mossy Oak bottomland camo and like-minded turkey enthusiasts. The conversation started with a deep dive into the history of the wild turkey in Mississippi, and then went to swapping several old stories from the college years. We also dabbled lightly in topics concerning turkey hunting etiquette, pre-season scouting, and then ended on an ultra high-note when we opened the floor up to an audience Q&A. One thing is for sure; this episode doesn't have a dull moment.    Do you want us to hold a LIVE event podcast in your town?? let us know! email us at primoshuntingpodcast@gmail.com or message us on social media   Instagram Primos Hunting- @primos_hunting Lake Pickle- @lakepickle Jordan Blissett- @jordanblissett_primoshunting Facebook & YouTube Primos Hunting

Tales from the turkey woods may get older in years, but from our experience, they never get old to listen to. Reach way back into the archives with us as we discuss the days of turkey hunting being written about in news paper articles, taking a roll of film the local drug store to get developed, and sending printed out pictures and letters in to the sporting goods magazines in hopes of making it onto one of those glossy, colored pages. It's a wonder to see how far it has come.    -We will be in Starkville THIS WEDNESDAY!!
