Elk with a bow. I’m completely addicted!

Thirty minutes. Nonstop gobbles. Wall‑to‑wall longbeards. 🦃🔥 It’s turkey hunt overload as Michael Waddell’s Bone Collector packs as many heart‑pounding hunts as possible into one can’t‑miss episode. Michael Waddell's @officialbonecollector — Episode 1 📺 Sunday at 9:30 PM ET

@goose0067 Dude!!! Congratulations that’s a giant

@BoogerBottom This is mine from Alberta this spring

Spring Black Bear in Alberta 2026! No skyscrapers, fancy restaurants, coffee shops or traffic jams! Deep bush & damn good people! Great arrows & epic stories from men who choose to live this life! #bonecollector

@BPow92 I’m always willing to learn more

@BoogerBottom I know more than you about deer

Would love to talk about things on the podcast that everyone might have questions about? Please leave comments here and we will get on it today during the show. Thanks!

@BPow92 Yes. We can discuss that too. 😎

@BillJoh5788 Not very familiar with WA but will look more. This can be a topic that should be discussed

@BoogerBottom Why doesn’t Washington state do more for hunters? They are ruining hunting in this state.

@Tinley256 Huge and great topic to discuss!!

@BoogerBottom Late on this & might be obscure, but strategies for those who don’t run feeders or bait. I have nothing against those who bait but I think a lot of hunters who don’t are feeling the pressure to do it. Point of reference: we’re in N Jackson Co AL in the hardwoods & don’t bait.

@txgolfercmcc Man you are so right. On the list brother

@BoogerBottom Has the hunting world priced the common man out of enjoying the opportunity to get outdoors? I live in Texas, not much public land near me that slows hunting and I can’t afford to get a lease or pay for a hunt. And the clothing, guns, ammo, feeders, cameras, etc… crazy!!!

@GrandpaFishes Man I love it too. Be awesome to discuss

@BoogerBottom Not sure I've ever heard your opinion on bowfishing. Personally, I'm addicted to it 🤣

@zippyillinifan Great thing to discuss. Be glad to go over this.

@BoogerBottom Honestly, how successful would most “celebrity” hunters be if they had to do all the work themselves??? Not saying you specifically but the entire group. You know the prep, scouting, planning, stand placement, habitat creation, etc., I truly feel most couldn’t hack it!!!

@derek_stoy Agreed! Great topic

@BoogerBottom Hey Waddy might be too late but came across you post about turkey hunting. I think we all need to take a serious look at youth involvement in our sport before its too late. We need to get creative and get our states to bend over backwards for our youth.

@HeroHuntInc Great point and yes… will love to talk more on this

@BoogerBottom Explaining how hunting is part of conservation, so that we can all get better understandings that hunting isn’t just “killing” to help educate the next guy.

@BuffaloFanTodd Will do my friend

@BoogerBottom I've been at it for 40+ years and have taken many big birds. One thing that is new to me is using decoys. Can you give some decoy tips or advice for old farts like me?

@duckiefresh2 Love it!!!! Thanks for this. Noted my friend

@BoogerBottom Thought a lot about this one, Waddy. In social media today, so many folks focused only on the outcome of the hunt. But the process, over-coming misses (gonna happen especially with a bow, nobody wants to admit it), and getting yourself back engaged for that next opportunity

Turkey Tip Tuesday with Matt Van Cise is back with week 3 of his pro tips. This week Matt goes over some great tips and techniques using a box call. Join for a quick listen, and see how to improve your calling game.

Hard to tell what’s more whooped! ⁦@RhettAkins5⁩ or two big TN longbeards after finally getting them to work at 12pm.💪😂🇺🇸

@docredduke I think it was. Had the top turkey researcher at NWTF said it was

@BoogerBottom Looks like Bumblefoot.

Old big foot? Not sure what’s the deal here? Comment please

@anthonyd4180 Meat seemed fine. Turkey was way passive though.

@BoogerBottom Would bumble foot make it so the turkey was inedible?
