In this episode of The Maggie Williams Podcast, I’m joined by one of my best friends and favorite adventure partners, Sydney Cole—and this one is full of laughs, wild stories, and a whole lot of firsts.We kick things off by talking about my newfound love for riding horses. Thanks to Sydney (our resident barrel racer), I’ve officially stepped into the cowgirl era. The real question is—will I be making my barrel racing debut this summer? Jury’s still out… but she’s working on me.Somewhere along the way, we realized we’ve got a pretty fair trade going:I’m turning Sydney into a turkey hunter… and she’s turning me into a cowgirl.From there, we dive into the NWTF Convention, which brought in a record-breaking 94,426 attendees this year—an incredible testament to how strong and passionate the hunting community really is. And that’s where this story really begins.At NWTF, we met Diego Olaguibel, owner and operator of Yukkutz Hunting—and what started as a conversation quickly turned into an invitation we couldn’t pass up. Not long after, we found ourselves in Mexico experiencing the blue-winged teal hunt of a lifetime—the kind of hunt you dream about but can’t fully put into words until you live it. And just when we thought it couldn’t get any better… plans shifted, doors opened, and we had the opportunity to pursue one of the most beautiful and unique birds in the world—the ocellated turkey.It’s hard to even describe how special that experience was. The landscape, the culture, the people—it all came together in a way that reminded us just how big this lifestyle really is, and how grateful we are to be a part of it.We cannot recommend Yukkutz Hunting enough. From the professionalism to the lodging, the food, the guides, and the overall experience—it was truly top tier in every way.
