In this episode of The High Ground Podcast, the crew recaps an opening day spring turkey hunt in Utah, breaking down the experience from start to finish. Skeeter walks through the early morning grind — from a late night and little sleep to getting into the unit before sunrise — and the strategy behind locating birds using calls and prior scouting.

They discuss the importance of preseason scouting, understanding pressure, and getting into areas with good potential, especially on limited entry hunts where tag numbers are low and opportunities can be higher. The conversation highlights the realities of hunting — adapting when birds aren’t responding, covering ground, and staying persistent even when things don’t go as planned.

The episode also touches on the mindset behind hunting, including preparation, discipline, and making the most of opportunities when they come. They wrap up with thoughts on stewardship, emphasizing respect for the land, wildlife, and the responsibility hunters have to take care of the places they spend time in.

Overall, this episode is a mix of real hunt experience, practical strategy, and mindset — giving listeners a look at what goes into a successful day in the field.
