Exactly 12 years later and this was on my suggested for me page
13 now
Now 13 years and now it’s recommended for me
Raising my hand for 14 years. 🖐️
13 years for me, it's a timeless message. Don't get in your head and give up. Good luck out there boys!
14 years for me. I needed to hear this too. 🤙🏼
I had a bad morning today. Thanks for the encouragement. Unfortunately work called me away at 9.
Been a deerhunter all my life but started hunting turkey a few years ago. Just wanted to say thanks for some of the tips.Hooked for life!
I can agree with this 100%. Last spring hunt I was calling with no returns and decided to leave my spot after 2 hours. Pushed bush in a different spot and had no success so I went back to my truck, looked at my first spot on the way back and there was 3 toms/jakes that were 50 feet from my spot. They seen me and high tailed it into the sticks.
Stay where you are and be patient.
Good tips from him, Talks like a true hunter, someone ill keep watching for sure.
I want out at 5 this morning, no gobbling. I sat for 3 1/2 hrs, still nothing. I moved to another location deep in the public land. 15 minutes later had a Tom come into my set up. By 9:30 I was hauling my bird out - about a mile hike!
I wish I would have seen this a week ago. 😂 I was calling to a gobbler that was a ridge away and a ninja came in probably a minute later. Yeah, he got away.
Going tomorrow for 4th time ever. Of course I've had one strata that neck my first day so now I'm HOOKED and a freak about it. We forget these are wild animals. You made more sense in 5 mins than 299 other videoes I've watched.
MrJrodtidefan because everything else is brands of crap that doesn't work unless you know what you're doing.. its the simple knowledge like this that really helps 👍
Dad was out today. Heard "yelp yelp yelp" hears branch snap...6 birds walking. No hens. All right behind him.
Thanks for your mentorship bro!!! This was exactly what I needed to hear. Been overseas too many times and lost my touch and these Easterns have started to get smarter, adaptive and silent. Thanks for the clutch advice. 🇺🇸🇺🇸💯🦃🔥🔥🔥
Trigger Reed thanks for your service
What you do when turkeys don't gobble. Is Keep huntin and keep your eyes open, and yes your right. Have patience. After 40 years of chasing these magnificent birds, I finally got it. Patience!! Hunt as late as you can, and watch out for Sneaky Petes!! You can get them if you believe in what you are doing!!
Dale I heard you say something a while back, and i still laugh. You said people ask you from time to time (why do you hunt turkey) and you said you don't even try to explain ot to them. Because people that love the outdoors understand the passion.
They ain't gobbling in that wind cheeeetah. Great video though! Always great to hear people echo common sense.
mddale thanks for the reminder. I been guilty of leaving to early. Thinking back on those easy hunts I guess. i should know better. Thanks for great videos. Good huntin,shoot straight and be safe
I just discovered you this spring and very much enjoy your helpful tips. On this video, too bad about the wind in the microphone but regardless the content came through loud and clear, I am one of the most guilty when it comes to packing it in when they’re not gobbling. Thanks for the reminder.
I killed my first turkey opening day this season and a good many of your tips helped so ty
You're right on point Brother!!!
Heck yeah! That’s the best advice I’ve heard.. so true......
I hunt all over Idaho and i can tell you right now your words hold true if they turkey are silent in the morning you wait it out all day and they become vocal
very good advice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this really helped me, thanks.
I have had experience with this as well. We were sitting for hours and hours without and gobbles. We waited until 11:00 when we had a bird come In. Just so happened to be that bird was 27 pounds. I wish I would have known how big the state record was but I bet it would have been close.
Patients is a virtue
good vid thanks excited for first hunt
This helps a lot thank you 🙂
I have learned my lesson, more times than not birds will sneak in, especially late in the season they become call shy. Keep your hands and head still, gloves on and eyes moving. They will come in but will not make a peep.
they don't get call shy. they get human shy. no such thing of call shy. I have been hunting for 45 years. u need to learn something
@@maryclouser3748 turkey expert over here
a been looking for this tip thanks
Love being in the deer n turkey woods. Definitely put my time in
thanks for the help
Good lookin out brother!
Great advice
thank you on this video
Here in Mo. i killed many birds, in late season gobblers tend to get call shy and the rut is winding down, gobblers may gobble 1 time. I have often left the timber when after 1to 2 hours and no show, but at high-noon sneak back in and get within 100yds. of where he had roosted, a lot of longbeards tend to make a big 1/2 mile circle and end up close to their regular roosting site at high-noon, the call to use then is a couple of clucks, you are now the hunted, cluck only twice about every 20 minutes, use no decoy and no blind, because, stay hid and don't move, remember you are the hunted, a lot of times he will come from behind you, sometimes you win sometimes you don't.... good luck i like this video.
2nd year turkey hunting. Opening day, I sat in 18mph wind. 10:30-12:30nothing. Went to lunch and saw a male in road at 12:30. 2-4pm saw a Tom coming down ridge after hen...but I didn't shoot because of so many trees and angle, she flew away. Moved down the creek a couple hundred yards. At 6:30pm 5 beards ran behind my tree, jumped creek and zigzagged SO FAST after they saw me. I had to turn 120 degrees to see them and I got busted but they were moving fast already. Not one gobble that entire day but I had two encounters. They're there moving on a windy day
Great information the biggest gobbler I shot was in the afternoon
Good nugget man. Thanks
The Ice Man.
Well, Ive killed my share of birds in my lifetime and I will back you up on your advice. I would like to add that if it is windy, go to lower terrain and try to minimize its impact on your hunt. Also, switch up your calls. Some turkeys like a diaphragm sound vs.box...
Remember that even if you do everything right that bird dictates your end result. Be persistant. Stay out there til 1:00. Even experienced hunters can be duped! Good luck!
Love your videos. I'm a seasoned turkey hunter whos always still learning. But I've got one question for ya that no one wants to really touch on . And that is , besides the safty aspect part of it which I know is a big one , but when should you or can you other than using as a locator , use a gobble call to tricking that old tom to come in?
Many times turkeys didn't seem to be in the area because they were silent. Many hunters are fooled by this. I took me trial and error to figure this out over the years.
It was a silent warm morning April 22nd... All the sudden a big gobbler came running down the field at my hen and Jake. Never came out of full strut. Killed him 18 steps from my blind. 22 lbs 11 in beard 1.5 in spurs.
Whatever I'm trying to harvest I love to spend all day in the woods. I find it a hassle to leave and come back. Plan for a day out. If you fill your tag early great.
i've only had 2 or 3 turkey hunts where they don't talk in a time span of 9-10 years. but now i know. we can only hunt til noon here in new hampshire.
I learn so much from u I rlly appreciate it
I got a silent gobbler April 22nd. 818am.... came running down hill full strut to my jake and hen decoys. Never came out of full strutt. Shot him 18 steps from blind. 22 lbs 11 in beard 1.5 in spurs.
I try to hunt all day. One thing I've noticed is that turkeys feed at least 3 times a day, usually between daylight and about 8 or so, mid morning, and early afternoon, every now and then I'll see a few late in the afternoon but it's normally when they're going to roost.
I just started turkey hunting. first day
That's an excellent way to teach patience... Talk for over a minute in the beginning of the video without saying anything!
i hunt in ny and i have killed several big toms without hearing a gobble at all. i have made the mistake of over calling to birds just trying to get a response. this is very well said that alot of hunters leave the woods early i usually stay as long as i can.
when a gobbler is in full strut, his neck and head drop down into his chest cavity. always get them to break strut before you shoot.
Been turkey hunting for over forty years what do is what Dick Kirby told me a long time ago.go to were you know they have rorst before set up and don't give up
I think your advice is excellent and true.
thanks
on quiet days i try different calls and just wait 30 minutes or so. also had luck with a hawk scream call to shock them into quick gobble.
Thank you for the advice Dale......would it be then better to start hunting at lets say around 10 Am rather than early morning ?
Ive killed most of my birds between 10 and 3
No luck for me today storm system last night shut them up this morning
My problem this season is this. I only have permission on the North side of a busy gravel road. They're roosting on the South side, and moving south after fly down. I've gotten one Jake to cross the road, and passed on him. A nice Tom came to the side of the road, and a %#@)&*&@ car came and he ran south. Great exercise in patience this year.
Do you call the whole time when you’re sitting there waiting for them?
Back again, I messed up on the comment below, the reason i don't like using a decoy or blind in this situation is because the gobblers are wary of both by this time of the season they are well educated by novice hunters in blinds with decoys, usually by this time the under brush is really greened up so you may need to change to a different camo pattern
What barrel length do you have on your Turkey gun
Amen
True story!!!
I shot at a turkey in the afternoon I must have been next to his Roost and needless to say I missed him will he come back?
patience is the key 70% of the turkeys ive killed came in dead silent and was after 1:00 pm many of them were after 4:00 pm
If you’re waiting them out like that and they’re silent how often and loud should you call??
this last turkey i killed the birds were gobbling on the roost but when they flew down they shut up but i stayed put and waited and finally one gobbled and i managed to call him in
I have broke the silence once in a while with a gobble call.
Around here sometimes they wont gobble much if the coyotes are rambling
Here in North Carolina its 1 per day 2 per season i dont know why they dont let us get 2 a day, but i think its to keep the turkeys safe lol
Next time interview the wind.
Make a couple calls, then sit still and be silent.
When you've done that for an hour, do it for another hour...and maybe another.
Calling turkeys is fun, but that's not what kills them.
What do you do when theirs hens but not gobblers but you know gobblers are around
gettin ready for opening day here in S.c. opens up Sunday. They are hot and fired up, and so am i. I have killed bigger birds between 12:00-3. when the hens are on roost. if you are callin to a gobbler and he doesn't come your way, he is henned up. but he won't forget where he heard you earlier. stay put. he will visit. may be a silent one, but he's still on the prowl.
You even heard of gobbling out especially in late season..
I had one gobbling his head off but was hung up in the swamp with a damn hen and he never came to me I’m going out tomorrow again any tips?
i shot most of my gobbler 730 8 oclock in the morning and these gobblers are 22 23 pound gobbler with 1 3/4 inch spers and 11 1/2 to 12 inch beards and i shot my thriple beard last year and i had another tag and went out and shot his twin but it only had double beard and i never stay out that late unless i take a buddy out and he doesnt know what hes doing but every year we get two gobblers each year
Wow you must be a great hunter
what advice on shooting a turkey in full strut? My grandson and i went out...for his first hunt. I calle din a huge bird. Beard almost ont he ground. 18 yards..facing us....full strut wide open. BOOM...flipped it over and away he ran. WTF????? 12 ga. with 3 inch mags number 5 shot
where you at?
What about in the late season? Here in SW Ontario I took the last four days of the season off. I had scouted and saw two strutters in the back, inside corner of a freshly planted corn field. I got permission and I sat there all afternoon. Didn't hear a thing. The next morning I tried moving around more and stumbled upon a couple of jakes. The next day I walked some public land and saw only hens. Frustrated, I drove around the last afternoon of the season here (May 31st, season closes at 7pm) and saw only hens in the fields for 50km!
Is there a point in the late season when toms will stop gobbling, stop coming out of the bush, and stop being interested in breeding completely? What then?
Stephen Palmateer those hens you seen probably were done being receptive. stay out and call you'll get a Tom to come in.may take a bit but stay put and call sparingly. like one series every hour .
always let the decide how much to call.if they aren't calling much then you don't call much ECT.. one exception, if you're not getting any responses try lost calling
I went turkey hunting 2 years ago with a buddy and we never seen a bird but on the last day we hunted the whole day at 12 we yelped in a box call and boom a gobbler we called him in to a easy 10 yard shot and killed him he had 1 in spurs and a 9 in beard. Last year i hunted with my grandpa and as soon as we got out of the truck gobblers were gobbling everywhere they flew down and Quit gobbling later I heard the leaves moving behind me and it was a gobbler i shot him he was 26 lbs,11 1/2 in.beard
This morning was good but that big ole sucker didn’t gobble but I called up his hens and he was with them
The only gobbler I killed last year came in silent. He had two other gobblers with him.
I set there for two hours and cold called. I killed him at 12:30 p.m. Dave from Alabama
when we went to all day hunting that's exactly the time that birds started shutting up. We're our own worst enemy.Of course I will have plenty of ppl hating and disagreeing with me but in wisconsin it's a fact. and I've called in plenty of silent toms. it's good advice, but it's advice to something we the hunters have created
If they're are not answering to any of your calls, how often do you call or you just quite down and wait there like if we're deer hunting that's how you do it?
Frank Rodriguez if a gobbler doesn't answer to any calls. I will usually go to wines clucks purs with an occasional Yelp. I like to do about a two minute series of this about every hour. sometimes you can get a wary 2 year old to come into a lost call.
I like to call every thirty minutes when they are like that.
If you were any more correct on what you said, it would have been me saying it. good job.
I been out all day and no gobble or nothing
How often do you call will your waiting, do you use decoys? I hope some one can help me with my question. Thanks
Frank Rodriguez Here in GA, it's been about a month into turkey season and I've noticed the best action between 7 and 9 a.m. as far as them answering back. When you call, do a couple clucks/pits and then a yelp or three and then bring it back down to some clucks and purrs. Wait for 10 to 20 minutes and try again. When you hear one gobble back to you then break your calling up to longer time increments (like 20 to 25 minutes apart) and make it a lot softer. If you have decoys out, and they're hens, try to make it so that they are facing AWAY from where you think the big boy will be coming from..
When you're calling and you hear rustling in the leaves, a lot of the time it's not squirrels. It's turkeys that are curious about your call. So if you hear anything, then call a lot less often and call a little softer. Hope this helps. [=
Thank you so much I appreciate your help.
+Tenshi B Great advice.
Thank you! I'm really REALLY tempted to go and buy that "funky chicken" decoy, which is one of a scrawny-lookin' upright Jake. Supposedly it will piss off any male turkey and some hens, but I've got just two weeks (I can't hunt during the work week) left and they keep holding up around 40 yards from my mini flock! So I'll either just go into the thick woods and try to call strategically to get one to walk past me, or stick that goofy-lookin' Jake decoy out there and call a little.. I think the price on it has been reduced at Wally World.
Any luck with either of you so far this turkey season?
Went twice. Called in a good Tom both times but he kept hanging up at 100 yards both times. He would come to the tree line and investigate, but not commit. Smart old bird with awesome color.
I'm going hunting in 2hours it's 9:00 right now
Problem is you cant hunt em after noon in ny....
In Mo. we can't hunt after noon either, thats why we have good hunting, Toms have time to relax and are not apt to get so call-shy and wary, 1 tip , most hunters call way too much, when the timber is quite call softly and sparingly..........
Craziness!
I’m sure it was good advice but I couldn’t hear it through the wind. Had to shut it off halfway through to keep from losing my mind.
I killed two sunday had 8in beards
Thank you for the help I killed 3
i was told never shoot at a strutting tom.
Thank you, this video helped me kill my first turkey
what are you talking about???
Well i know here you cant kill but one per day if you can kill more than that where your at then you must have alot of turkeys
I sat up a fake turkey that you shoot at and the next day i woke up and went out and a real turkey was trying to fight it
I had one come in silent today to my decoys shot him at 30 yards
You cant kill but 1 per day
I set call every 20 minutes yelp and I kill a bird first day every year last year they hammered gobbled and this year not a sound we doubled up they came in silent to 10 yards!!!
killed lots of turkey after the hens leave @10:00 AM, most hunters give up after 9, that leaves the real turkey hunters with better chances., also have killed lots before they roost at night.
