    Chris Lawrence marks the show's 32nd anniversary and welcomes Brent Null of Null Custom Calls from Red House in Putnam County for a full hour focused on spring gobbler season. Null shares how a late-in-life passion for turkey hunting — rekindled by taking his grandson out — led him to start crafting his own calls just over a year ago, beginning with a wingbone call made from a bird he harvested. Lawrence and Null work through an array of pot calls in the studio, covering materials including frosted glass, ceramic, slate, copper, titanium, and stoned aluminum, discussing how each affects pitch, rasp, and performance in wet conditions. Null also explains his unconventional use of AI to analyze his calls against real turkey vocalizations, and demonstrates a bamboo tube call and bamboo trumpet he built himself. The two close with turkey hunting strategy, scouting tips for Putnam County, and Null's goal of getting his 13-year-old grandson his first gobbler behind one of his handmade calls.

    Chris Lawrence kicks off the show by celebrating 33 years of Hunting and Fishing Talk on the Radio, then welcomes Jason Stewart to discuss the upcoming Appalachian Bow Hunter Challenge — a two-day fitness-meets-archery event set for May 1st and 2nd at Winterplace Ski Resort. The event features a 5K mountain challenge with weighted packs, a conventional 3D shoot, and a head-to-head speed course that puts competitors through conditions designed to simulate real-world bow hunting scenarios. Chris and Jason also discuss how events like Train to Hunt and Beast Mode Archery have inspired this first-of-its-kind West Virginia competition, which is already drawing participants from six states. Later, Dave Wellman, Assistant Chief for Fisheries at the West Virginia DNR, joins the program to preview the ninth annual West Virginia Gold Rush — a two-week trout stocking event designed to get kids and new anglers on the water. Dave also covers the hatchery system behind the program, including upgrades at the Bowden facility, ongoing walleye and muskie broodstock collections, and the DNR's approach to managing West Virginia's growing muskie fishery. Chris wraps up with a conversation about lock-and-dam tailwater fishing and what anglers can expect throughout spring and into early summer.
