Turkeys aren't hard to bag because they're smart. They're hard to bag because they're scared

@michaelshuey1614 Месяц назад

Amen brother, preach it. A little wisdom changes everything for those who apply it.

@acornfed6484 20 дней назад

Uh, they will pitch in a tree when they hear a bad crow call.. if you don't think they are smart, you aren't hunting em on national forest lol

@brianc6739 Месяц назад

Little turkey chairs are priceless. You don't need a tree just the right clump of bushes.

@americanagothic7851 Месяц назад

I don’t use a vest or pad. Only time I use a chair is in a blind and it has to be quiet. I only use a hunting fanny pack which is quiet from Red Head that only cost me 30 bucks and it works very well! I also found that no matter what camo you have to break up your pattern, sitting very still and quiet always works even if your wearing a neon colored tuxedo. I get turkeys running across me and right next to me in my work clothes smelling like oil and gas!

@jameslalley3787 Месяц назад

Lol ! Had a bird cross the street and come in quiet behind me but I had given up on him and decided to turn around and he was standing there looking at me then the decoy then back at me ! He ducked behind a log and when I brought the gun up I saw him hauling down the hillside like a running back lol ! Skunked again lol !

@tnmantn8938 21 день назад

Setup is very very important…try to position yourself where he is in range when he becomes visible…patience is extremely important…I carry a small folding stool to sit on…I can’t sit on the ground at my age and stage…I have had many come in silent only to be busted when I decide to move…got a nice one 4 days ago, classic we texted back and forth…I laid down my box call when he was about 100 yards out…I was behind a huge poplar from him…he started skirting to the right and when he cleared the edge of the poplar 💥 awesome hunt!

I never make a call,without being set up and ready to shoot. I've lost a few birds early in my career, because the bird flew down or ran in ,seen me and was gone.

I just ended my first season. I was on a couple different gobblers but wish I would have educated myself on calling techniques because I didn’t know to stop calling. Unfortunately wasn’t ever able to pull one in close enough to fill the tag but gained a great deal of learning experience in the process.

@Eastwood34871 Месяц назад

Filling a tag is never what it’s about no matter what your told , it’s about enjoying the outdoors , challenging yourself , making mistakes and learning from them , please watch , The Colonel and the Fox , mossy oak documentary, trust me

@millatime62401 Месяц назад

@@Eastwood34871 didn’t think I made it sound like I was there just to fill a tag. I really don’t care I didn’t fill a tag. I enjoyed every minute of it. Im not new to hunting just for Turkey. I’ve been hunting for 30 years.

@gregbeck906 Месяц назад

Just started my first Turkey season also and this past Sunday I had a massive Tom about 15’ away, without decoys or calls, I just knew turkeys pass through this area from the previous December Whitetail hunt. I drew on him but my Sig H4 Red dot was dead. It died not even 20min after checking the brightness setting and of course I forgot to pack a spare. With all the commotion and frantically trying to see if I just needed to turn it on because shake awake failed or the battery cap was loose, the massive Tom disappeared into the thick woods at 11pm, hunt over. All in all it was an absolute blast and I learned a lot. Haha Good luck out there brother!

@realrussclarke Месяц назад

I’ve been hunting turkeys 40 years. You made some good points but after many vests I found the kickstand a hindrance, same with the thick pad. My latest vest have both, the stand came off after one hunt and I sit without the pad because it just gets in the wa due to how thick it is.

@InformedOutdoors Месяц назад

That’s a good point. If you don’t take the time to clip the seat up when you’re going to move it becomes annoying.

@thej-raychannel7393 29 дней назад

This is great advice, earlier this week, I started off the morning bad spooking a gobbler, spent some time walking and thinking about my next set up. I set up in an area where the turkey usually travel through in the afternoon and I was about to give up after not hearing anything. I could see hens off to themselves about 150 yards away, and then I started hearing gobbling coming from across the ridge in front of me. The gobbler had separated from the hens it was around that morning and after an hour of careful calling, it came on in and met its fate. What was really neat was listening to the other hens yelping. They didn't sit there and yelp and call for 10 or 15 seconds like we tend to do. I might have heard three or four subtle yelps and that's it. A few short yelps, then they walked past me and on down the field, kinda like a live decoy. My decoys stopped the gobbler long enough for a shot at least

I gave up vests, i bought a ground level chair and use a small back pack or fanny pack. I can sit in that chair without moving for at least an hour . Everyone is different. Im a little now to. Lol . Great stuff cheers

@Sam-mu5xh Месяц назад

I used a fanny pack for years, turned it offset to go over my hip as to not empeed upon walking. I barely knew it was there and it held just about what I put in a vest. I might start that again..

@danielsimpson9650 Месяц назад

I like to use a folding ground seat and my frogg toggs fleece lined hand tube. Can maintain thinner gloves and the tube is waterproof and has a decent size zipper pocket. Holds phone, slate call and 2 mouth calls comfortably

@howrightiam Месяц назад

@@danielsimpson9650 Going to look into one, like to pare stuff down to be mobile, always for get something though, any suggestions.

@danielsimpson9650 Месяц назад

I would just suggest loading up everything the night before the hunt. Anything you're gonna need goes in a bag or at least in the car. I fill my hand tube up the night before also besides my phone. But we all forget stuff here and there even if we think we had everything. With turkeys though. Even if I forget a thing or two it's not hard. All you need is a call a seat and your gun/bow. Sometimes we bring a lot more than we are gonna need because we get into our head a bunch of scenarios instead of just keeping it simple and using woodsman skills

@Lakings0102 20 дней назад

Still on the hunt for my first turkey. I was calling with no responses for about an hour and suddenly a tom showed up about 30 yard ahead of me. But i couldnt get my gun on target because I spooked him trying to get it off my lap. I didnt see him again after that 😂

Happens to all of us! Keep after them!

My 1st turkey couldn't be turned with a call i stalked this bird for a week trying to fig out his path ended up just deer hunting basically i knew his roost tree so i setup close by and just waited for him to head to the roost got 2 like that so far

@meghan7547 29 дней назад

Turkeys are not very bright animals but.... they have arguably the best eyesight and hearing in the woods.

@Nickrioblanco1 Месяц назад

Turkey are not stupid. They just think differently than humans. Yes they are compared to us very bad at deduction ( figuring things out) but their memory is amazing.

@bpgator Месяц назад

I took the kickstand off. Legs will not stay extended.

@timhatfield6367 Месяц назад

I have trouble telling how near or far they are when they're gobbling. Terrain has big affect sometimes.

@Ivan_Igor19 Месяц назад

Most of the time they are closer than you think

@InformedOutdoors Месяц назад

Yes definitely! I always assume they’re close

@MrAvidOutdoorsman Месяц назад

@ronbrown8559 Месяц назад

You think 10 acres is a big field?

@InformedOutdoors Месяц назад

It is if you’re blindly setting up on one end. Probably tiny in big ag areas.

@ronbrown8559 Месяц назад

I’m just thinking that calling a turkey across 10 acres is just what we like to have! Not that big a piece!

@americanagothic7851 Месяц назад

All the fields around here seem to be 20 acres or less a piece. Some stretches are split up by roads or rivers or ditches but nothing large around here, it’s just all split up over time.

@danorris5235 18 дней назад

Many hunters I've interacted with are about as smart as their target species. I kid you not I've had deer, squirrels, turkey, and raccoons follow me around within forty yards when I'm just walking around checking cameras. Why? Because I'm obviously not failing at sneaking through the woods like a predator trying to score a meal. I'm relaxed, slow, and not acting funny. They're clearly curious about what I am and up to and don't present a threat. And the guys who always crawl around like they're a jaguar getting ready to pounce snapping their heads around like they're short on a fix every two seconds always tell me I'm lying because everything in the woods sees and hears them trying to woodland ninja as they helicopter their equipment around like they're trying take off during crunch time😂 Sit still, shut your yap, use your ears before your eyes, and exercise basic patience. If deer aren't walking right past you, squirrels aren't running across you, and turkeys aren't walking up to you you're moving too much and being too noisy. I swear, if you're doing it right you barely need to move and your biggest enemy is fighting the oncoming nap lurking around you.

@slypouliot Месяц назад

I managed to get a Tom close to me on my first hunting season. (Luck, probably) But I messed up because of an urge to piss myself to death. I shot to quickly with my 20 gauge and lost. Y This year, I found my spot with the turkeys, got the owner's permission and will be heading towards my hiding with a DIAPER….😂. 🤫
