Calling Technique with Scott Ellis of Woodhaven Custom Calls

Saison 2 · Épisode 2

mardi 3 mars 2026 • Durée 32:53

In this episode, we sit down with legendary turkey caller and hunter Scott C. Ellis for a deep dive into the art and science of turkey calling—covering everything from subtle hen talk to aggressive sequences and the smart use of locator calls. Whether you’re a beginner trying to sound more realistic or a seasoned hunter looking to fine-tune your approach, this conversation is packed with practical, field-tested insight.

Scott breaks down calling techniques that actually work in real hunting scenarios, not just on stage. He explains when less is more, how to read a gobbler’s mood through his response, and why cadence and timing matter just as much as volume.

The conversation then shifts to locator calls—owl hooters, crow calls, woodpeckers, and more. Scott shares when and how to use locators to strike gobbles without educating birds.

Throughout the episode, Scott mixes in real-world stories, hard lessons learned, and simple drills hunters can practice right now to improve their calling confidence. If you want to sound more natural, call with intention, and use locators strategically instead of randomly, this episode delivers a masterclass from one of the most respected voices in turkey hunting.

Spring Training: Have Your Best Season Yet

Saison 2 · Épisode 1

mardi 17 février 2026 • Durée 18:04

Turkey hunting has a way of humbling even the most confident hunters. One morning everything clicks—the next, the woods go silent and nothing makes sense. In this episode, we slow things down and walk through the fundamentals that create repeatable success in the spring woods.

This is a deep dive into the skills that matter most: preseason scouting, closing the distance, smart setups, disciplined calling, patience when birds go quiet, and making the right decision when the moment finally arrives. Along the way, you’ll hear hard-earned lessons from blown hunts, long silent sits, and gobblers that taught more by escaping than by ending up on the ground.

This episode isn’t about fancy calls or trendy tactics. It’s about woodsmanship, restraint, and confidence—knowing when to move, when to call, and when to do absolutely nothing. We’ll talk about why getting close beats calling loud, how terrain can be your greatest advantage, why most hunts are won or lost at the setup, and how patience often kills the bird you never hear coming.

Whether you’re new to turkey hunting or have chased gobblers for years, this episode will sharpen your instincts and help you hunt with intention instead of hope.

Settle in—this one’s meant to feel like a long conversation after a good morning in the woods.

When Life Gives You Turkeys!

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

jeudi 3 avril 2025 • Durée 18:14

Though most of the time turkey hunting can be frustrating—spending all morning in the woods, not seeing any birds, and hearing little or no gobbling—there are also moments when you can be overwhelmingly blessed with a multitude of birds present and sounding off in your hunting area. When life gives you turkeys it can be both a hardship and a delight. When options abound, it’s still anything but a slam dunk. Today, we’re going to talk about those days when you are gifted with multiple birds and how to choose the right approach so you could be heading out of the woods 20 pounds heavier.

I feel like this a topic that doesn’t get talked about too much, frankly, I think it is because most hunters hope just to actually hear a bird, let alone multiple turkeys. But when you’ve got multiple birds before you, which one do you choose? To help you make the most of your situation, let’s break it down into some different decisions.

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

mardi 4 mars 2025 • Durée 20:09

If there is anything there is anything that most hunters would agree upon about wild turkeys, it is that they can be stubborn and unpredictable creatures! Any hunter who’s got a few seasons under their vest knows this to be true. Just when you think you’ve got him coming in on a string, he’ll hold his ground—or he’ll go the other way—or he’ll completely vanish into thin air…or so it seems!

In this episode, we’re going to take a look at several scenarios you may encounter this spring and more importantly, we’ll talk about what you can do to give yourself the advantage. Let's breakdown of eight scenarios you might find yourself in while you’re out there trying to outsmart the King of Spring. We’ll also discuss eight things you can do to stack the odds in your favor.

Creating Lifelong Memories: Turkey Hunting with Kids

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

mardi 18 février 2025 • Durée 21:25

When was your first turkey hunting experience? I’ll likely never forget my first outing. It was 1993, I had just come home from 6th Grade Camp with my school and my dad let me skip the last two days of the school week to go with him and a buddy to West Virginia to turkey hunt for three days. First, I was thrilled that my mom even let me get away with missing school, but second, I had tagged along with my dad on a few bow hunts and my curiosity of hunting, woodsmanship, and animal behavior was really building.

Now that I am a father too, it's been a real joy for me to get to share similar experiences with each of my own children. I’m proud to say that each of my four kids—my two boys and my two girls have all shared the turkey woods with me and they all have successfully filled multiple tags over the years. While I certainly don’t claim to be an expert on hunting with kids, I’d like to think that I have gained a lot of wisdom and learned a lot of do’s-and-don’ts.

So let me share with you some advice for passing on the tradition of spring turkey hunting. In this podcast episode, I'll share with you five ways to capitalize on taking a child turkey hunting!

Double-Trouble: Turkey Hunting Success with a Partner

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

mardi 4 février 2025 • Durée 17:38

As I look back over the last 30 years of turkey hunting, I realized that more than 60% of the gobblers I saw get knocked down were on hunts shared with someone else. Double teaming gobblers is a deadly effective strategy in the spring woods, and I want to share with you why I think two hunters on a gobbler are better than one. Plus, I’ll give you two new tactics you may have never tried before with your hunting partner.

We’re talking about double teaming spring toms. In this episode, let’s take a look at all the advantages that double-teaming can bring to your hunt. Two hunters mean more eyes glassing a distant field for strutters or more eyes scanning the woods for the movement of an approaching gobbler. Likewise, two hunters mean twice as many ears listening for gobblers on the roost or picking out responses to your locator call. Having a hunting partner can keep you in the field longer.

When you’re wanting to quit, having someone else there with you can help you sit it out just a little while longer or to climb just one more ridgetop to call from. And as an added bonus, double teaming for turkeys gives you a chance to get back into the woods when you’ve already tagged out. You get to experience yet another day filled with a beautiful sunrise, another morning of hearing hearty gobbles floating through the air, and another front row seat to the greatest game of the spring.

Stay in the Game! Six Fast Shot Setups

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

mardi 21 janvier 2025 • Durée 18:10

So, tell me if this sounds familiar. Birds are gobbling from the roost in three different directions. The morning sunrise seems to have every tom on fire. All that gobbling holds the promise that it’s going to be a great day. But something doesn’t work out just right with your roost setup. The tom flies down. He answers your best fly down cackle and then a hen butts in. You haven’t heard a gobble in over an hour so you call it a day and head for the truck, figuring that you’ll just have to get set up on the roosted gobbler again tomorrow and hope that he doesn’t have that hen with him so you can kill him. By 9:00 your hunting woods are in the review mirror and you frustratingly wait for your chance to greet the woods at first light again in the morning.

It's true that a lot of hunters find themselves discouraged and giving up right before things can turn productive. A lot times it’s because they either don’t know the typical location preferences of turkeys all throughout the day or they don’t understand where to go to put themselves in the right calling spot after that exciting action that comes right at fly down.

In today’s episode, I’ll cover six sweet spot locations that will help you connect with that longbeard at any time of the day.

It’s something a lot of hunters know but very few practice—sticking it out and hunting all day for turkeys. Now I realize that some states have restricted hunting hours, and you can’t hunt all day. Regardless, the encouragement is so long as it is legal hunting time, hunt! The turkeys are out there, and you should be too. Yes, it does take a lot of initiative. It can take a lot of patience. But when you’re toting out that heavy gobbler with those sharp, pointed spurs it can make the extra effort all worth it.

So, let’s take a walk through the woods from sun-up to sun-down and talk about where you should be, where you can hope to find turkeys, and what you should do when you’re there.

Hunting Fails: Lessons for Every Turkey Hunter

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

mardi 21 janvier 2025 • Durée 18:36

Only 30% of hunters in my home state of Ohio were successful in the 2024 spring turkey season. That means that of the 51.5K hunters who purchased a tag, a whopping 36k hunters came up empty at the end of the season. There are 7 common mistakes that make the difference between tag soup or turkey nuggets for dinner. Let’s see if you are guilty of any of these mistakes.

On today’s podcast, we'll dive into 7 common mistakes turkey hunters make and how to avoid them so you can have a better hunting season. And I can really say I've made a few of these mistakes myself over the years. Let's figure out how to dodge these pitfalls next time you're out in the turkey woods.

When I think about all the blunders I’ve made in the turkey woods. I can’t help but think of all the mistakes I’ve made going through life too. One thing I am grateful for is that we have a God who loves us despite our mistakes. And that is a good thing, because I know that I am prone to make a lot of them.

I’m encouraged by a verse in 1 John 1:9. It says: “But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.” This verse gives me comfort to believe that all sins are forgiven in Christ. My mistakes aren’t held against me if I give them over to Jesus.

No matter how you're doing, whether you're at your best or worst, God's grace is there to cover up all your mistakes. It doesn't make sense, and you won't understand it. What a beautiful truth for those of us who struggle to do it right all the time! I hope you know the love of God and it encourages you too.

Welcome to the Wild About Turkey Hunting Podcast

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

lundi 6 janvier 2025 • Durée 09:08

You want to become a better turkey hunter, don’t you? I know I do. I think we all do. I haven’t met anybody who has this entire turkey hunting thing figured out and goes out into the woods and returns successful every. single. time. But I do know several turkey hunters who have boosted their success rate simply because they never stop learning. It’s true that the more knowledge and experience you acquire the more you can apply. When you’ve got a deeper toolbox to pull ideas and tactics from, the more successful you’ll be in the pursuit.

Welcome to the very first episode of the Wild About Turkey Hunting Podcast. My name is Josh Davis and I've spent more than 30 years chasing wild turkeys and I love it. I, in no way, consider myself an expert. But I do consider myself a never-ending learner.

My father and I have been diving headfirst into the world of spring turkey hunting since the early 90s. We've figured out what makes time in the field special, and we now enjoy sharing these experiences, passions, and skills with our growing generations of family and close friends. We're always ready to help share what we've learned from our pursuit, and we want to never stop learning. I believe my success has increased over the years because I was willing to learn more through reading, watching, and having in-the-woods experiences with turkeys. As a believer in Jesus, I’ve found that my faith journey is very similar. The more I learn the greater the pursuit gets.

Saison 2 · Épisode 3

mardi 17 mars 2026 • Durée 58:29

What does it really take to consistently find success on an out-of-state turkey hunt? In this episode, we sit down with West Virginia turkey hunter Zach Lucas of GGG Outdoors/Kingdom Connection to break down the strategy, preparation, and woodsmanship behind effective turkey hunting.

Zach walks us through his e-scouting process, explaining how he goes from studying digital maps to boots-on-the-ground verification. He shares how to identify key terrain features like water sources, ridges, and potential roosting areas, and why understanding the landscape is critical before ever stepping into the woods. As Zach puts it, “Look for water, roosting areas, and ridges.”

We also dive into the importance of reading the environment in real time, balancing patience with aggression, and knowing when to adapt your plan in the field. From setup and concealment techniques to maintaining the right mindset, Zach explains how preparation and awareness can make the difference between a quiet morning and a successful hunt.

Whether you’re planning an out-of-state turkey hunt or looking to sharpen your woodsmanship and hunting strategy, this episode is packed with practical insights you can apply this season. Remember: “Always be assessing and reading the environment.”

In this episode, we cover:

Zach’s step-by-step e-scouting process
How to analyze terrain and habitat before a hunt
The balance between patience and aggression in turkey hunting
Effective setup and concealment techniques
The role of preparation and mental readiness

Actionable takeaways:

Research maps and gather intel before your trip
Identify water sources and likely roosting areas during e-scouting
Stay patient but be ready to adapt in the field
Prioritize concealment and smart setup for better opportunities

If you're serious about improving your turkey hunting success, this conversation with Zach Lucas will help you think more strategically the next time you head into the woods.
