Ep 42 - Illinois, Maine, Florida, and Mississippi Turkey Hunting Adventures with Nicole Taylor

When Maggie Williams met Nicole Taylor at the 2024 NWTF convention, they couldn’t have known one invite to Illinois would kickstart a year full of unforgettable hunts — and an even better friendship. In this episode, Maggie takes Nicole to Florida for her very first Osceola turkey hunt. As they navigate the Old Florida landscape under the live oak canopies and palmettos, the two reminisce about their whirlwind year together. From that first Illinois hunt to the 22-hour road trip to Maine — where they celebrated a successful turkey hunt by diving straight into the icy Atlantic — and wrapping it all up in the Mississippi hardwood bottoms, it’s been a journey filled with laughs, long drives, and hard-earned longbeards. This one’s for the turkey hunters who know it’s not just about filling tags — it’s about the stories and the friendships that come along with every mile.
