We are joined by Blake Schnare this week on the Missouri Woods and Water Podcast for a Tales of the Chase episode built around a tough turkey season that turned into a memorable win. The conversation covers turkey hunting strategy, habitat work, poaching encounters, and how persistence paid off after a rough start.  Blake shares the full story, from scouting a northern Missouri farm to dealing with two poaching incidents in the same season and still finishing strong. It is equal parts wildlife management, turkey hunting pressure, and the mindset shift that came from sticking with it.  Thanks for listening!
