EP 108 Chris Skates

Chris Skates is a freelance writer, former chemist, outdoor writer, political commentator, speechwriter and advisor. Most importantly, though, he is an NWTF member and a long-time turkey hunter.

The NWTF's Pete Muller is joined by Skates to chat about the 2025 turkey season, reminisce on Skates' journey as an outdoor writer, past hunting stories  — "The Gobbler of Panther Creek" where Skates bagged a bird in the first turkey season in his Georgia County — his time working in government and some of his other novels currently available on Amazon. 

Make sure to tune in!
