In this episode of Turkey Season, host Paul Campbell sits down with legendary turkey hunter and author Doc Weddle for a wide-ranging, heartfelt, and hilarious conversation about life in the turkey woods. From tube calls and smoky gray gobblers to van life, funky old camps in Florida, and 40+ years of hard-earned wisdom, Doc opens up about his journey from the Hoosier National Forest to a five-time U.S. Super Slam. You’ll hear about:
His favorite turkey calls and the art of calling
The magic (and heartbreak) of hunting Florida’s Osceolas
Why sunrise gobbles still stir the soul
Lessons learned from failure, missed shots, and humble beginnings
The deeper meaning behind his book dedication and a lifelong friendship
This is one of those conversations where time stands still—two passionate hunters swapping stories, laughing, and reflecting on what it really means to chase wild turkeys. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or new to the game, this episode will remind you why we love the hunt.
