Alex Debord
Wednesday, 28 January, 2026
Paul Campbell sits down with Alex DeBord of Talk About It Outdoors for a deep dive into the world of turkey calling, competition culture, and the brotherhood that keeps the whole thing alive. Alex breaks down the unwritten rules of the calling world—why you don’t touch another man’s call bag, how “turkey-killing calls” differ from “race car” competition setups, and why presentation (cadence, pauses, and painting the picture) often matters more than raw sound. They talk about the mental game too: nerves on stage, learning to run the call instead of letting the call run you, and what it really takes to find “your yelp.” The conversation turns personal in the best way—Alex shares the story of what truly hooked him on turkey hunting, watching his son step into the calling world, and how mentors and friendships inside the turkey community can become family. From Grand Nationals qualifying to preseason practice routines, to honoring the legends that built the foundation of modern calling, this one is a masterclass in why turkey hunting and turkey calling mean so much to the people in it. Alex also shares what’s ahead for Talk About It Outdoors, the “The Caller” series covering the NWTF calling circuit, and the spirit behind their newly announced call team.
