It's been over a year since we have checked in on Justin Door and his quest for harvesting a turkey in 49 states that hold huntable populations of Turkey. While this is a tale of the travels to accomplish this goal, the conversation is more than just notching Tags. We dive into a look at what great people you might run into in this country if you just turn off the news. So check it out and I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did.
