A recent video circulated around social media platforms illustrates exactly what a lot of traditional turkey hunters have felt for a long time — reaping or fanning turkeys isn’t fair-chase hunting. Listen to the full podcast episode: open.spotify.com/episode/3MWTZ0…

Back before he was our hunting and conservation editor, and before he moved out west, @amckean was a kid growing up on a rural farm in North Missouri. And like a lot of us, Andrew spent a lot of time hunting with his dad, or hoping to at any rate. On this episode of the Outdoor Life podcast, we're trying something a little different. In honor of Father's Day, we asked Andrew to read a story he wrote a few years back about returning to that family farm for one last hunt. His father had died suddenly the previous summer, and he would carry his dad’s old rifle. We originally published this piece titled The Homecoming Buck in the November 2010 print issue. Our editors consider it to be one of the best stories to ever appear in the pages of OL.

@jehobu Great! I’m jealous. I don’t know any outlets offhand but lemme check with sources in PR and get back to you.

@amckean I enjoyed your article about iguana hunting in Puerto Rico. I’ll be there in a couple days myself and it’s February, breeding season. Can you recommend any air rifle outlets? I’m staying in Palmas Del Mar.
