512 - Turkey Hunting in New Zealand with Dink Watson

Turkey Hunting in New Zealand with Dink Watson

This week, Dink Watson with New Zealand Turkey Adventures joins Cameron and Andy this week to talk about turkey hunting down under.

This is an eye opening and fascinating episode that kind of makes you wonder what turkey populations might be like in the US without hunter or predator harvests and diseases. According to Dink, the numbers of wild turkeys in parts of New Zealand is absolutely mind boggling.

Cameron and Andy will be traveling to New Zealand to hunt turkeys in early September, and they wanted to learn a little more about what they can expect when they get to the ranch to hunt.
