Turkey Tactics with Big Country: Eastern vs Osceola

The Southern Game & Tackle Podcast

No stranger to the Southern Game and Tackle podcast, Rick is joined by William "Big Country Rozier. Big Country is well known through hunting circles in the southeast and his reach stretches even farther than that. He's been a staple in SG+T tradition, being the reason that the February Eglin trip is on the annual schedule. Rick and Dex were fortunate enough to meet Country on the first trip to the panhandle, and the boys have been friends since. He's been on the show before, talking deer and gators, but in this episode he finally gets his chance to talk turkey!
In this episode, William gives us a recap on his groups' Eglin trip. They definitely have that place figured out and this past season was no different with him and several others from his group connecting on solid Florida whitetails with their muzzleloaders - Rick, leave the bow at home next year! As Rick prepares for his first true hunt for an Osceola turkey, Country shares some of the differences he can expect from the Eastern birds Rick grew up hunting. They cover several tactics and traits of the wild turkey, and share plans for the upcoming opener in central Florida, both hunting new places.
It's also been a big week for Big Country. Not only is he hunting new ground, but he also will be taking along a new prototype box call from well known call maker Tim Fralick. It doesn't stop there though...he also scored on one of the hottest, limited edition items in the turkey hunting world as well, a Fox Haas Turkey Vest from Mossy Oak.
You don't want to miss this one. It's always a good time when William joins and this one is no exception!
