The Turkey Hunter Podcast With Andy Gagliano | Turkey Hunting Tips, Strategies, And Stories

This is the story of the Whiskey Turkey, who was a turkey that absolutely haunted my good friend Eric for an entire season.  This turkey was a wise old bird, and always seemed to out maneuver and out think Eric.  Eric was possessed by this bird to the point where he was skipping work to go after him.  Finally, one day, Eric devised a plan to kill the Whiskey Turkey.  The plan was executed on a weekend when I happened to be hunting with Eric, and the plan was executed perfectly... well, almost perfectly.   There was one kink in the plan that neither Eric, or I, accounted for prior to venturing out into the woods that morning.  That was a kink in our armor, not the Whiskey Turkey's armor.   Listen in and laugh along as Eric tells the story of the Whiskey Turkey.

This is the funniest turkey hunting story I've ever had the pleasure to be a part of. The story begins with two friends attempting to play a practical joke on a third friend.  These two friends devised a plan to guarantee the third friend his first turkey on an early morning Spring hunt in west Alabama. The practical joke turned out to be even more of a practical joke when an unsuspecting 4th person enters the story and steals the show.  The main characters of the story are: 1. Tom "Old Man" Haney, Sr. - The father of the president of the hunting club where the story takes place. An older gentleman at the time, who was just one of the greatest people you would have ever met. A long time turkey hunter, and a good one at that. 2. George Boohaker -  A brand new turkey hunter who had not killed a turkey at the time this story took place. George was to be the butt of an elaborate practical joke where he was guaranteed to kill a turkey. 3. Chip Hughes - George's best friend and roommate of Brian Pearson. One of
