Had a stubborn gobbler on opening day, came home and watched this video, went out the next day and harvested my first bird. Your videos a definitely a major asset.

Man I’m dealing with one right now. Saw him walk near my spot when I left to take a break came back heard 1 gobble and had to leave (12pm hunting cutoff).

I have been doing that for years. I call it talking to him. I was taught by dad to soft call and set still. I feel the setup very important. I am 80 now and time has passed me by. Younger hunters watch the videos that sell products and they are smarter than me. I just laugh inside. I enjoy watching real stuff. I enjoyed your video.

Absolutely! I am 32 and the first thing I was taught was when birds arent gobbling.. find a spot, sit quiet and call every 15 minutes. I have had loads of toms come in completely silent. When a bird is hung up I stop calling completely and it may be 20 minutes.. but he will hit again without any call. I call that a panic call. In his mind he thinks he is or has lost that hen. Thats when I am working the bird and not the bird working me. :) Turkey hunting is a tradition that hasnt changed, but boy do I learn something new every spring. Ive been hunting them or going out with my dad since I was 7 years old and I still have loads to learn lol

My biggest tom to date was from putting this very tip from Dale to practice. My 3rd time out trying to get this same savvy bird that lived on a neighbor's property all henned up, but I remembered to try this reverse psychology idea. Well, among all my previous hunts and 23 birds successfully taken, this was the 1st time I felt like I was truly "reading and feeling" a tom out and controlling the conversation and ably manipulating him. As soon as his hens went to lay late morn, he and I got to talking (as we'd done before), but then I "flipped the conversation" playing hard to get and he couldn't stand it. Well his pride cost him! Thanks Dale! I'm giving you the credit!

​@@davidwaters9125 23? Ur still a rookie

you are the TURKEY TEACHER love the way you explain things down to earth.

I hunt in Kentucky in a field that backs up to Greene river, by using this method I got a gobbler so worked up he flew across the river to me. Thank you for the knowledge you provide us.

Yes sir! I call this teasing them. Works very well, but patience and sitting still is paramount because they now are hunting you!!! Great videos!

I really enjoyed your Gobbler Yelping video. plan to watch more of them.

I'm a brand new turkey bow hunter and I gotta tell ya, your vids have helped me understand so much!! Still haven't bagged my tom but I'm loving practicing my calls! The wife....not so much 🤣🤣

calling away and softly from the gobbler works often, especially if you don't have that buddy behind you calling. its like closing time in a bar, everything looks better before last call. great lesson Matt.

I've used this method for a long time now an it has failed me rarely...I just did the same exact thing today and got me a Tom!.. this works! Listen to this guy he knows alot. Great vid Dale.👍

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE ADVICES BROTHER! IT IS REALLY APPRECIATED

That absolutely works! I had one hang up, so I quit calling. After what seemed like forever. Probably about 20 minutes, I called. He was really close! He had came in to investigate. It was the last thing he ever investigated.

Hi I just want to let you know. I used your advice today from this video . Today May 1 2018 in NY. The hole process took about an hour and I got my first long beard. It was really awesome. I haven't really done a lot of turkey hunting. When the bird started to gobble he was a couple hundred yards away I guess. I keep thinking of this video and followed your advice worked great. Thanks for all the great videos

Thanks for the tips. Used this idea to get a gobbler this year. It's only the second one I ever got. It worked. Thanks for the help.

Yes sir it works, my partner wanted give up and start running and gunning, it took over an hour but he came on in!!! Awesome video

Another great tip and video. Would love to hear some more hands on scenarios calling techniques like this. Hopefully I can use this tip in the woods.

Good advice. I've got some more. Walk away. I once had a Tom on public land that wouldn't come in but to about 50, 60 yards, and when he did he stayed in thick cover with no shots. I got glimpses of him, but then he would move off still gobbling as I called. I'd get up, get a bit closer, call, he'd gobble, and move off, but still would gobble. Well, I started thinking he'd played this game once or twice on this heavy hunted area. So I snuck as close as I dared, called, he gobbled, and I started walking dead away from him while I called. Next time, he was a bit closer. I kept moving away, and he moved in pretty quick. Now keep in mind, I'd wandered into some thick stuff with about zero shot opportunities and this bird was closing fast gobbling hard, I started almost running, and this bird picked up the pace. Wish I could have seen it, this bird chasing me as I ran through the woods calling, desperately looking for an opening. Must have been hilarious. Finally found a little hole in the thicket, and put him down at eight yards as he almost walked into my lap!

I love your videos. Real info for real turkey hunters in the real world. Our youth day comes in this weekend in SC, so hopefully I will have my second video up next week...DON'T LAUGH! I am looking forward to all your content this season as it has really helped me in my turkey hunting.

Great video and advice. I have used these tactics several times and they work.

This has help me tremendously. Listen please people.

Great video. I Love all of your videos !

I came back to this video to say that I used this tactic for my Osceola last year. I was successful because I watched this very video. He drug 4 hens with him to his demise. Thanks for the info and keep up the good work!

Awesome video can't wait to go try this. Thankyou for your time and education

When they hang up, I go to them. I put the call away, take off my vest, and start moving as quickly as I can to get as close as possible. Once I am within gun range, but still out of sight, I'll yelp softly a few times. Gobblers are usually willing to finish off the last few yards, or will at least gobble so you can get to where you can shoot.

Thank you I'm have to give this a try I had one hung up on me the other morning about 70 yards going back in the morning.

I just got into Turkey hunting and was having some trouble getting those stubborn PA public land birds. I used this technique on a weary gobbler and within an hour of his first gobble, I killed him at 8 yards. Thanks for the videos great info

Very interesting video. I am as new as anyone could be to hunting. So new in fact that i do not have a shotgun, proper clothing, and I’ve NEVER been. I just recently decided that i would like to try my hand at it. I still have not gone through the safety class but am planning it soon. Right now I’m trying to learn as much as possible before going out with a buddy of mine for the first time. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Matt, I tried this reversal on a Tom on Sat. I had worked a Tom starting at 11:30 AM and finally had him come in after 2:30 hours. I had Tom gobble every 4-7 times before I answered with soft call. We did this dance and I finally shot him at 26 yards

Great video I've had this happen at least 4-5 times.

Kool shot!!! info thanks!!! 🦃

Enjoyed the video keep up the good work great great trick gonna use this method Friday morning my Turkey's have been hanging up about 100 yards out then turning for the other hens crazy hens

Great share! Has worked for me as well!

Haha this dude is the shit. I think he was toying with us in the beginning of the video like he does the gobblers.

Awesome 👍 I'm going to try that this season !

just subbed! great videos for new turkey hunters appreciate the info

I've had this work with great success over the years

It works sometimes, sometimes best to just not call at all. He knows your there , he'll come looking if you sit long enough

Good tactic. I’ve sometimes stopped calling and just used scratching in the leaves. He knows the hen supposed to be there and curiosity will get the best of him.

I Agree 100% . Great info

Great info I dont care what anyone else says. Slow play them and you'll have them in your lap. Maybe that's why they all want you to "get to the point". Shows how many are actually paying attention! I think that everyone can actually learn something if they slow it down.

Love that idea! Thanks jmiller

Agree...I move back 20 yards make a few putts and purrs....then move back another 20 an yelp and moth call with a raspy call....then stay quiet for 15 minutes.

Awesome advice brother used it before and it works

Great advice thanks

Good advice I have them like that all the time

Very good tip i really like your methods alot like i do

Great advice!

Used this technique last year and it paid off

Great tips!!

I agree with you sir that tactic will land a turkey hanging on your shoulder on the road walking Out of the Woods Sorry boss. I don't have Facebook but I do really appreciate the KZread that you do. and taking the time sir

Great advice. I’ve hunted and killed a bunch of turkeys and learn something every time I hit the woods.

Yes that trick does work !!!

Glad I subscribed. Alot of different stuff then what I talked about on my Utube Seminar.

"It's human nature, we enjoy when someone talks to us." Lemme just stop you right the... 🤣 great video nonetheless. Always has helpful hints and tricks and tips. I used this very tip on the bird I killed this morning. Granted, he was pretty fired up. So I probably could've yelled at him and he would've gobbled. Nonetheless, I called to him, he responded, and I just shut up immediately. About 3 minutes later, he gobbled. Then he started gobbling every minute, and I didn't respond to him. He actually flew across there creek to find me, walked right to me, and he was done.

Great advice.

It drives them nuts when they gobble looking for you and you shut up. Great tactic.

That was exactly my last season's scenario. He gobbled for 1 hour back and forth, inside heavy wood only 60 yards but didn't show himself. So i went quite, put shotgun on my laps cuz i got tired holding it, 10 minutes later all the sudden i saw a fan through the blind holes just 10 yards away. I had to wait until he looked away gave me the time to shoulder the gun and smoked him. Yes it worked for me. 👍

Thanks for the trick, I had a conflict with my boss and this reverse psychology game worked perfectly in my favor.

Soft purrs and scratching will drag them in. I called in a 24 lb tom for my son's first bird last year. He was at least a 3 year old.

The Turkey hunting 🐐

70 - 80 yards is no longer out of range these days with the choke tubes and shells out today I’ve killed them right at 90 I checked it with a range finder the next day so after seeing that I went to the range to see the pattern and it’s still tight enough with my set up for a kill

In the human world this is known as ghosting.

just harvested a big tom yesterday I went in woods with no decoys and waited to hear the roost then got within 80 yards and used this technique He came in on a rope thanks for the tip Jens

Your giving my tricks away!

Wish I would have had this one. I'm new and finally located a woods turkey had ne answer must have been 75 yards behind me through brush couldn't see him. Thought for sure he come down this grass walkway. 30 mins of me shut up after response and I checked him he gobbled same spot. And that was it either he shut up henned up but I ran out of hunt time and he never responded.

I learned this long ago.

Thank you.

Called two in like that before but they came in on the other side of the hollow

yes it does work .

you speak good turkey hunting

Works had a group of 3 gobblers that would not come to calling they would stay out there 80-100 yrds gobble a few times and not commit. Finally the 4th day I roosted the birds slipped in 100 yrds from the roost tree. Watched them fly down did not call till they gobbled a few times just answered back with a soft yelp let them gobble 2-3 more times soft yelp gobble 2-3 more times I just shut up and they started working towards me finally they still kinda hung up but at 55yrds instead of 80. Squeezed the trigger on the boom stick and killed the lead tom

One more month can’t come fast enough here in WV

Understanding human psychology to better understand turkeys.

This morning I went out in the rain for turkeys. I got some gobblers to respond. But they were mainly talking to other gobblers. I think a gobble call in this situation could have changed my luck.

thank you

Also don't be scared to crawl. Use the terrain

Ya’ll, this does work. Tried this on a 4 year old gobbler last year that was hung up at about 80 yards behind a 4 foot hog wire fence. After a few times of cutting him off with “cut cut Yelp” “he’d gobble”.....”he’d gobble” Then “cut cut Yelp” , he eventually jumped the fence and came in for a #5 to the noggin.

Got a buddy who started me off he sat me down did some calls and Tom went the other way sobhe walked away from the tom and called and he came back but never offered a shot so the other day I had a tom just wouldn't come in so I get up walked back down the hill maybe 30 yards he gobbled a few times I hit the call with my back to him and did the call muh softer and he came right in on top of me

Don’t know if he was actually hung up but I was hunting a spot where nobody hunts and there’s quite a few turkeys but the only way you can get to this plot of public land is through private property there’s a good bit of rocks but I was calling he was gobbling I was calling back but then they just shut up I watched your myth video and you said “call shy” is a myth I believe you but I’m just wondering what you think was going on I’m 17 and I was using a box call today was my first day going alone

Also he had a delayed response to me so I had about a 30sec to a minute delay to him

Had one hung up yesterday morning

This works on almost every bird. The only time I need to call more is if I have a hen fighting with me. Sometimes I can’t make a wrong call they waltz in. 99% of the time it’s exactly what you said. Just sit and wait.

I call it the frustration gobble. I will call just enough to let me know that he knows that I’m still out here and then shut up.

I'm hunting pubic land. they r gobbling on the roost but once they hit the ground they stop gobbling. what should I do.
