S3.E64. Phillip Culpepper and Drake Lamb head to Michael Waddell's farm. They're taking on the challenge of helping Michael's wife Christie get one of the elusive "yard birds" that lives in their pecan grove.
0:15 Michael tries to roost the turkeys in his grove, but Christie interrupts things. Phillip Culpepper and Drake Lamb show up the next morning to help "slay the dragons," as Culpepper puts it.
2:00 They meet at the Waddell household and strategize for the morning hunt. It's raining, but that'll soon subside.
5:00 They're in the field, and the turkeys start filtering out of the timber into the open. The two stubborn longbeards are with them.
7:00 The turkeys drift off and the boss, Christie, decides it's time for breakfast.
9:00 Later that afternoon, turkeys come back out, and Culpepper has a game plan for them, but the hunter is fast asleep.
11:00 They're back in the field and see a tom. They make a plan and execute it.
18:00 With the bird down, the crew comes to check out the tagged longbeard, and it's a good one.
