Hunter and Chase Farrior dive into week two of the 2025 turkey season with stories from the Mississippi woods, discussing strategies for hunting "henned-up" gobblers that are challenging to call in.

• Gobblers are particularly challenging this season, often going silent once they fly down from the roost
• Both hosts notice there seem to be more hens and gobblers than in previous seasons
• Chase shares a successful hunt where being in the perfect spot was more important than calling
• Hunter recounts a missed opportunity when overthinking a shot through potential obstructions
• The challenges of hunting thick cover where turkeys sound farther away than they actually are
• Discussion of red dot sights versus traditional beads and challenges when shooting in thick cover
• Brief mention of Breck's successful turkey hunt with their father
• Interactions with vocal hens can be almost as rewarding as working a gobbler
