Ever wonder what it takes to keep hunting traditions alive while running a successful business? Meet Michael and Dan from Nature's Voice Game Calls, who join us to share their passion for the outdoors. Michael fondly recalls his early hunting days with a .410 shotgun, a legacy passed down to his children. Dan, who discovered his love for hunting a bit later, finds peace in bow hunting. Together, they emphasize the importance of family traditions and deer camps in nurturing a passion for hunting that spans generations. Their stories reflect a deep-seated love for nature and a commitment to preserving it for the future.
Join us as we uncover the heartfelt origins of Nature's Voice Game Calls, born in memory of a beloved brother and fellow turkey hunter. Michael and Dan dive into the technical side of their craft, explaining the nuances of single, double, and multi-reed turkey mouth calls while sharing their joy in teaching these skills to the next generation. Their dedication extends beyond just crafting quality game calls; they're deeply connected to the hunting community and actively support organizations like Ducks Unlimited and the NRA. This chapter is a testament to their mission to inspire youth and foster a lifelong love of the outdoors.
We also explore the fascinating world of turkey call materials and techniques. Michael and Dan discuss how different wood types, like wild cherry and walnut, affect the sound quality of calls, revealing their strategic approach to effective turkey calling. As our conversation expands to include their journey of balancing work, family, and podcasting, we touch on the cultural significance of deer camps in West Virginia. We also honor veterans and discuss legislative matters impacting the hunting community, ensuring our listeners are informed and engaged. This episode is packed with insights, heartfelt stories, and a deep appreciation for the hunting heritage that connects us all.
