Ron "Coach" Watters is a local legend in central Alabama! Today he does a deep dive on all things turkey calling with us. Ron has been calling up turkeys since the 1970s and has a family history of turkey hunting in Alabama that goes all the way back to the 1930s! In this video, Ron gives us a master class on his blend of old-school turkey-hunting wisdom. We cover:

- Ron's grandfather, who was tragically killed while turkey hunting in 1939
- Ron gives a demonstration of a scratch box call, which was made by his grandfather in the 1930s
- Hunting a turkey on his terms, and winning
- How to find where a gobbler calls "home" and hunt him there
- Ron's 3 p's of turkey hunting
- Ron's "covert calling" tactics that gives birds the ultimate confidence to come in
- The "death call"
- How Ron got into call-making
