Ed shares the story behind ET Custom Calls, how he taught himself to build handcrafted box calls over two decades ago, and why consistency, cadence, and realism matter far more than simply making noise in the woods. The conversation explores everything from tuning custom calls and soft calling techniques to the importance of confidence in your equipment and learning directly from real turkeys in the spring woods. As the episode unfolds, the discussion shifts toward the grind of Pennsylvania’s later turkey season — balancing work, family, coaching, and hunting while still finding ways to stay persistent when birds become pressured and unpredictable. Mitchell and Ed talk through scouting strategies, hunting limited morning windows before work, locating birds late in the year, and why the final weeks of the season often produce some of the most rewarding hunts. More than just tactics, this episode captures the obsession, discipline, and love for turkey hunting that keeps hunters waking up at 4 AM long after most people have already packed their gear away for the year.
