If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still not getting results, this conversation will reframe how you think about turkey hunting. It’s less about fancy tactics and more about patience, persistence, and learning how to read a bird in real time. From early mistakes and missed opportunities to unforgettable hunts that took hours (and miles) to come together, Moe walks through the evolution of a turkey hunter. He breaks down why slowing down often beats running and gunning, how turkeys can pinpoint your location with precision, and why some of the best opportunities happen when you least expect them—like on the walk back to the truck. It’s a mix of practical strategy and storytelling that reminds you: the longer you stay in the woods, the more the woods start to teach you.

From reading subtle sign to knowing when to stay put or make a move, this conversation is packed with the kind of hard-earned insight you only get from decades in the woods.

Moe Shepherd brings 50 years of Ozark turkey hunting experience (and over 200 birds) to the table, breaking down what actually works when birds get pressured, quiet, and unpredictable.

From reading subtle sign to knowing when to stay put or make a move, this conversation is packed with the kind of hard-earned insight you only get from decades in the woods.

Moe walks through how he finds birds without even hearing a gobble, why terrain matters more than most hunters think, and how small adjustments—like calling less, moving smarter, or setting up just a few yards differently—can make or break a hunt.

He also shares tactics for dealing with hung-up gobblers, hunting around hens, and why patience (sometimes hours of it) is often the difference between going home empty-handed or packing out a longbeard.

From horse logging with mules to running a modern timber operation, Roy brings a rare, ground-level perspective on the health of our woods. If you hunt, hike, or care about the future of the Ozarks, this conversation will challenge what you think a “healthy forest” actually looks like.

Roy breaks down the history of Ozark forests, from fire-shaped oak savannas to today’s closed-canopy woods, and introduces the concept of “mesophication,” where shade-tolerant species like maple and elm are quietly replacing oak and hickory.

The result? Darker, denser forests with less biodiversity, fewer game species, and long-term unknown consequences. It’s a thoughtful, eye-opening look at how removing fire (and stepping away from active management) has reshaped the landscape in ways most people never notice.

What is The Ozark Podcast?

In the Ozarks, people have always lived in rhythm with the natural world. Hunting, fishing, and living off the land, aren't just things we do, it's who we are. And though our lives are inextricably linked to the land we live on, we've never been more disconnected from it. So join us, as we travel across the region to bring you the voices of the Ozarks to deepen your connection with the land, sharpen your skills in the outdoors, and help you learn what it means to be an Ozarker.

What is The Ozark Podcast?

In the Ozarks, people have always lived in rhythm with the natural world. Hunting, fishing, and living off the land, aren't just things we do, it's who we are. And though our lives are inextricably linked to the land we live on, we've never been more disconnected from it. So join us, as we travel across the region to bring you the voices of the Ozarks to deepen your connection with the land, sharpen your skills in the outdoors, and help you learn what it means to be an Ozarker.

In Part 2 with Curtis Copeland (GIS manager, cartographer, and co-host of Ozark Folk Chronicles) we dive deep into the hidden power behind maps. From OnX hunting layers and lidar data to property boundaries and Google Earth, this episode unpacks how digital mapping influences how we hunt, fish, build, conserve, and even define the Ozarks themselves. If you use trail cams, depth finders, AllTrails, or drop pins before a public land hunt, this conversation will completely change how you see the world. Curtis explains why maps are interpretive, not neutral, how data is gathered (from aerial lidar to crowdsourcing), and why companies like OnX depend on massive public and private datasets. We talk about mental maps, the Age of Discovery, political boundaries, bathymetry from fishing electronics, and how GIS can either expose fragile swimming holes or protect entire watersheds. This episode is about stewardship as much as technology, how better data can lead to better conservation in the Ozarks, if we use it wisely.

Why do the Ozarks mean so much to the people here and who actually gets to decide where it begins and ends?


In Part 1 of our conversation with Curtis Copeland (GIS Manager for the City of Branson and co-host of Ozark Folk Chronicles) we unpack the story behind the massive Ozarks map hanging in our studio.

What started as a commission for the Smithsonian Folklife Festival turned into a cultural lightning rod, sparking debate across state lines and igniting thousands of passionate responses online.

This episode isn’t just about geography, it’s about identity, heritage, and why people feel so fiercely protective of this place.

Curtis walks us through how he was tasked with mapping the cultural Ozarks, the committee of historians and folklorists who helped define its boundaries, and why Southern Illinois ended up inside the hashed lines.

We dive into hillbilly stereotypes, gig-making traditions, music passed down through generations, and how a single map went viral after the Ozark Mountain Daredevils shared it from Washington, D.C.

So join us, as we travel across the region to bring you the voices of the Ozarks to deepen your connection with the land, sharpen your skills in the outdoors, and help you learn what it means to be an Ozarker.

In episode #5 of The Old Ozarks, Dr. Blevins blends frontier idioms, pioneer grit, and American history as he explores the story of Nathan Boone (son of the legendary Daniel Boone) and the legacy he and his wife Olive left behind in the hills of southwest Missouri. Summary: From the Revolutionary War to the Trail of Tears, the Boone family witnessed the raw expansion of the American frontier.

Dr. Blevins guides us from Kentucky to Missouri to Oklahoma and back again, showing how Nathan’s homestead near Ash Grove became a symbol of both wandering spirit and rooted legacy. You’ll learn the origin of the phrase “light a shuck,” discover the Ozarks’ role in the Trail of Tears, and maybe even plan your next road trip to the Nathan and Olive Boone Homestead State Historic Site.

]]> 3824 no Ep. 171 - The Old Ozarks - Long Knives and Native Lands (S1: E4) Did you know? Before Oklahoma became Indian Territory, there was nearly an Indigenous homeland carved into the heart of the Ozarks. In this episode, Dr. Brooks Blevins traces a forgotten chapter of Ozark & American history: when Native leaders tried to claim a permanent home in the White River Valley. Summary: From “Wade and Butchers” to “Arkansas Toothpicks,” Dr. Blevins opens with the colorful language of the hills and how it connects to a bigger story: how the Shawnee leader Qua-ta-wa-pea and Cherokee allies fought to establish an Indian territory in present day Missouri and Arkansas. As frontier tension mounted and white settlers (known by Native nations as “long knives") moved west, tribal leaders pushed for autonomy. Backed by William Clark and fueled by a vision for peace, Qua-ta-wa-pea's movement almost succeeded, but political resistance, broken promises, and tragic timing sealed a different fate.

Hosted by renowned historian Dr. Brooks Blevins, the leading authority on the region’s history, this podcast explores the lives, legends, and landscapes that have shaped this unique region.

In this third episode of The Old Ozarks, historian Dr. Brooks Blevins unearths a forgotten chapter of Ozarks history: how the rise of lead mining in southeastern Missouri shaped early America, laid the groundwork for industrial expansion, and gave rise to one of Texas’s founding fathers.

From the French and Spanish colonial roots of lead mining to the enslaved labor that powered it, Moses Austin's ambition (and eventual downfall) led his son, Stephen F.

It's a ride full of crooked roads, crooked terms, and crooked definitions. In true hill country fashion, nothing is ever quite straight… or simple. Summary: From “whomper-jawed” bookshelves to the karst-rich plateaus of Missouri and Arkansas, Dr. Blevins continues his weekly “long sweetening” by tracing both the physical and cultural boundaries of the Ozarks. Is it the steep hills, rocky soil, and spring-fed rivers that define the region? Or is it something more personal—ancestry, dialect, self-identification? This episode is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever wondered: “Am I in the Ozarks? And do I feel like it?” What is The Old Ozarks?

]]> 3543 no Ep. 162 - The Old Ozarks - What's in a Name? (S1: E1) In this debut episode of The Old Ozarks, historian Brooks Blevins dives deep into the origin of that peculiar word—“Ozark”—and charts its journey across maps, cultures, and centuries. If you've ever wondered where the name came from, how it got tied to Arkansas and Missouri, or why it doesn’t include parts of the land it once did, this episode is a storytelling masterclass in regional history. Summary: From 17th-century French explorers to 20th-century federal agencies, the Ozarks have worn many names—and claimed many shapes. In this inaugural "long sweetening," Dr. Blevins unpacks the etymology, evolution, and even political reshaping of the Ozark identity. Learn how rivers, ridges, steamboats, and even naval vessels played roles in shaping what we now call the Ozarks. And yes—he finally settles the score between the Ozark and the Washitaw Mountains.

A glade by definition is "an open space in a forest" and the Ozarks used to be covered in this habitat. Now, most of our glades are overgrown with cedars and mature forests and they're rare to find, but when you do find one, you're going to want to keep note of it. They are absolute hot spots for certain animals many of us pursue due to the biodiversity of habitat, plants, insects, etc. that you won't find elsewhere in the Ozarks. In this episode we talk with Dr. Casey Brewster about all the things he's involved in from glades to pack goats and even get into Dr. Brewster's part in current smallmouth research being conducted in the Ozarks. We cover: The importance of identifying glade habitat as an outdoorsman and how different animals benefit from having this rich habitat available to them the disappearance of glades in the Ozarks what can be done to restore them on your own property and public lands hunting with pack goats and Dr. Brewster's non-profit organization Snake Mountain Pack Goats The smallmouth research that Dr. Brewster is involved in on hybridization of Smallmouth and identifying unique subspecies of Smallmouth Bass in the Ozarks We hope you enjoy!

The first story is about a prominent man, one of the original settlers who called the Ozarks home, who went hand to hand with a panther to defend his own life and his 5 year old son's life while out gathering honey one day. The second story is about a man protecting his crop by battling a bruin, showing what life was like for our ancestors back in the time when defending your crop was defending your livelihood.

Former Marine, turned leader of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, Austin is as level-headed and well spoken and as a wild hog is ornery, and he is impressively available to the public to hear how he and the agency could be doing a better job. Heck this man already has our vote for governor if he ever decides to run one day. We talked about:-the biggest issues our region of the world is facing today-the exciting new proposal for a "conservation tax credit" where the state of Arkansas will pay you up to $10,000 to practice prescribed burns, feral hog trapping, timber stand improvement, flooding wetlands and more-how millions of bird species are disappearing from North America while one species in particular is increasing and why -what AGFC thinks about the mountain biking scene growing in popularity in the Ozarks-what "common man and common woman conservation" means in today's day and age You don't want to miss this episode!

Ray is an Ozark native, master turkey hunter and a titan in the turkey hunting world. Baseball has Babe Ruth, Football has Tom Brady, Basketball has Michael Jordan and turkey hunting has Ray Eye. I’m just saying, this guy is a big deal. Although he's chased gobblers all over the world from Massachusetts to Hawaii and more, Ray says nothing beats the "hand-to-hand combat" that turkey hunting is here in the Ozarks. In this episode you'll hear stories from Ray's hunts with legendary hunters, why he loves the Ozarks above all other turkey hunting havens, and even learn how to do a proper gobbler yelp, which Ray admits to using 90% of the time over a hen yelp.

We joined bear biologist, Myron Means of Arkansas Game & Fish Commission and his team of biologists and veterinarians on one of their den site visits where they monitor the reproduction rates of 60 female black bears in the state. In this episode, Myron explains what they're doing and why this work is important to do each year as we're about to approach the bear's den! He also explains how this particular day was the very 1st time in the history of the universe this sedative was used on a denned bear! Cool stuff.

"throwing foam". Steve takes it beyond the basics and breaks down in detail the 5 ways to make you more effective while hopper fishing. Then after recording, we put away the mics and jumped in the boat with Steve at the helm to put these tips to use. We can personally attest if you do everything he says you will be more efficient, have more fun, and put more big brown trout on the end of your line. The 5 tips. Your stance is your key.
