Download this episodeDave Milton: Well, Jonathan, it was another great show, man. I tell ya, it was... We started off with a bang, we had Mr. Chuck Sykes, our Game and Fish Chief for Alabama. Gave us a great update on the turkey season, and we talked about the hogs, we talked about baiting, and really interesting, and moved into your friend.
Jonathan Goode: Yeah, always appreciate Chuck coming on, and then we had Barry Estes with Alabama Hog Control coming on, and talked about trapping hogs and then also doing those thermal night hunts that are fun, man. That's an awesome thing. Go to
alabamahogcontrol.com or check out their
Facebook page to see all of that info. And then we went back to West Alabama.
Dave Milton: Yeah, man. It was. I tell you, Cooper Holmes is a new agent with Southeastern Land Group. His family's been farming over there in southern Parrott County for years and years and years. Beautiful farm there in Folsom. And we talked about the pine straw business and the Long Leaf Pine Program and farming pine straw. It was very, very, very interesting. And then we had the ol' big man stumble in the studio. I think he got lost somewhere coming from Grainville. And Rick, you brought some great information about the dove field. Give us a quick tip.
Rick Bourne: Yeah, you know. Quick tip is, the time is now. You know, like I said, we're just over 3 months away from dove season, so, you know, if you're thinking about a field, it's the time to be out there working and getting things ready.
Jonathan Goode: And I think you made a great point with the long season, we need to do things to keep food there all the way into January.
Rick Bourne: Right.
