I’m not much of a turkey hunter myself, either. However, when you watch these guys struggle at times it makes me feel not so bad about my own struggles with turkeys. Lol.
Spring gobbler hunting is the kind of hunting where if youre going to call (and you essentially have to at least a little) you HAVE to actually sound good, otherwise while they may answer you, theyre not coming in And pressured birds are even harder
@@chuck8586 this will be the first year I try a mouth call and what a learning curve that is but I practice hours at a time while I’m working and there’s a lot of pressure in the places I have available to hunt.
Real question: I watch a lot of different turkey hunting videos. My question is: How well do turkeys hear? It messes with me because a gobbler can be in a limb 100 yards away, and seems he hears the smallest of hen noises, but then sometimes I feel like the hunters theirselves are talking way to loud when turkeys are in the area. Is it a frequency thing, or what? I don’t talk above a whisper ever even when the wind blows. This has always worried me. Any help Warb?
My apologies to you, Zach. I passed you in the hallway in the Opryland Hotel. I blurted out loud "You cut your hair!" I think it sounded like "cut your hair". You can wear your hair anyway you want. I hope you didn't take offense. Sorry.
Turkeys aren’t smart but they learn quickly. Couple years ago I killed a typical 2 year old about 10 days into the season. Standing 8 feet away from him was an identical 2 year old that I hunted the rest of the season and man was he tough. I changed angles, I broke my own rule and used a decoy, I hunted him at sunrise, at 11, and the last 2 hours of the day. He never came to the call I used on the first tom and would give me a gobble and a 45 minute stop and scan to other calls but he would never come within 80 yards in the bush or in the fields. I loved this bird because he was so educational to me. I had him at 40 yards the last day of the season in the bush in ambush and time ran out. I think the toughest birds are the most fun cuz I’ve killed lots of easy gobblers. Love the video boys.
Finding pressured turkeys is easy: go find where all the hunters are parked. They'll all have excuses (e.g. "they're henned up" or "they're not gobbling") when they go for breakfast at 9am. Finding un-pressured turkeys is more difficult and requires boot leather.
That was me filming ! Great job guys!! Glad you are using it!
“I don’t know him personally” 😂😂. I thought the same exact thing when he flew toward the house, definitely his usual escape route for safety
I was unable to make-it-to the show this year. Awesome seminar!!! Thanks!
Great content and delivery gentlemen.
I learn from you “ young bucks” often although this old dog has CRS!
Thanks
Dan Infalt says this all the time: if you hunt like everyone else, you can expect the results that everyone else gets too.
I’ve never had any luck turkey hunting granted I’ve only gone a handful of times I’m really excited to go this year because of y’all
Probably a long shot, but where do you live. Maybe I can take you.

The hardest part of hunting pressured turkeys…. Finding them
Finding pressured turkeys is easy: go find where all the hunters are parked. They'll all have excuses (e.g. "they're henned up" or "they're not gobbling") when they go for breakfast at 9am. Finding un-pressured turkeys is more difficult and requires boot leather.
