Ep 109 Owen Hutchinson Custom Turkey Mouth Calls, NWTF Grand National Comp & Epic PA Turkey Hunts
Description
Join hosts Ron Mentzer and Justin Barrick as we sit down with Owen Hutchinson, a passionate Pennsylvania turkey hunter and craftsman behind Triple Beard Custom Calls.
Owen makes his own high-quality mouth calls (like his signature bat wing designs) and recently competed in the NWTF Grand National Turkey Calling Championships at the national convention—delivering a strong top-tier finish!
We dive deep into his love for turkey hunting, the art of custom call making, advanced calling techniques, competition nerves and highlights, and a couple of his favorite gobbler stories from the Keystone State woods.
Highlights include:
- How Owen got hooked on turkey hunting and why it's his ultimate passion
- The journey into making custom mouth calls—materials, tuning tips, and what makes a great call
- Favorite calls and sequences that bring toms running (yelps, cuts, clucks, and more)
- Behind-the-scenes of competing at NWTF Grand Nationals: Prep, on-stage experience, and lessons learned
- Memorable turkey hunts—tough public-land birds, close encounters, and hunts where his custom calls sealed the deal
- Advice for turkey hunters and aspiring call makers in PA and beyond
If you're into spring gobblers, realistic turkey calling, custom mouth calls, or just love real PA hunting stories, this episode is for you. Nature is our Playground—get ready for turkey season!
