The Okayest Hunter Podcast Okayest Podcast Network

In this podcast episode, co-founder of Weathered Oaks Game Calls, Matt Streim returns to share insights about their specialized turkey calls. Despite an Okayest start with some chair adjustments, the conversation quickly turns to the craftsmanship behind Weathered Oaks' products. Matt explains that their calls, which are handcrafted and lathe-spun using various types of wood, include features like being double-sided and waterproof. These attributes make them unique in the market, especially as they can function perfectly even when wet, a claim tested thoroughly by Matt himself.
As the episode unfolds, it's clear that the creation of these calls is not just a business but a passion for Matt, who started making his own turkey calls in 2019. The conversation also touches on some technical aspects of turkey calling, like how different woods affect the sound quality of the calls. This technical dive is interspersed with anecdotes from other guests and calls from listeners, adding levity and practical hunting advice to the mix. The overarching theme is the blend of entrepreneurship, craftsmanship, and genuine enthusiasm for turkey hunting that defines Matt's work with Weathered Oaks.
