Paul Butski Reveals Elite Turkey Hunting Tactics | 100% Wild Podcast Ep. 470 In this episode of the 100% WILD Podcast, Matt Drury and Tim Kjellesvik are joined by Paul Butski, a 3-time Grand National Champion and Turkey Hunting Hall of Famer. Paul, who is the mastermind behind many HS Strut products, dives into the development of the Elite Six series, which is a collaborative effort with Mark Drury, Fred Zinke, and Tad Brown designed to bring professional-grade realism to every hunter's vest. We discuss the technical nuances of diaphragm calls, from mastering air pressure to selecting the right cuts, like the DOD Ghost Tongue, to ensure you own the "moment of truth" in the timber. The conversation moves beyond calling into the "lost art" of woodsmanship, exploring how to use extra-dimensional sounds like wing beats and leaf scratching to paint a realistic picture for wary gobblers. Paul shares high-stakes tactics for midday birds, the proper orientation of Jake and Hen decoys, and the critical transition of teaching the next generation to hunt outside of a blind. Whether you are looking for tips to reset on a silent bird or want to hear legendary stories from the "Rat Pack" at Turkey Camp, this episode is a definitive guide to field success. 00:00:00 – Introduction to Ep 470 with Hall of Famer Paul Butski 00:02:46 – The evolution of competition calling from then to now 00:04:00 – Inside the HS Strut Elite Six series development 00:05:48 – Mastering air pressure and diaphragm call basics 00:10:56 – Moving beyond basic yelping to advanced turkey sounds 00:13:30 – Woodsmanship: Using scratching and wing beats in the timber 00:15:27 – Tactics for hunting farms without roosting birds 00:23:33 – Decoy Strategy: When to use a Jake vs. Hen setup 00:34:41 – The "Lost Art" of hunting outside of a ground blind 00:43:52 – Midday Play: How to approach silent afternoon gobblers 00:48:14 – Turkey Camp Traditions: From the Beacon to camp breakfast 00:54:35 – Game: Two Gobblers and a Jake with Paul Butski Join the Rack Pack Facebook Group :/ n73gskjt7bfb2ngc Get ahead of your Game with DeerCast available on iOS and Android devices App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/deerc...
