There is a young man who killed his first gobbler because of you Dale! I took him hunting here in northern VA closing saturday and because of your info he scored....he is hooked on turkey hunting! His father (my friend) died sept1st of last year in a peterbilt 379 in Elkins WV from hydroplaning and going over the guardrail on Talbot Hill, Corridor H. That hunt was the most successful hunt of all my entire hunting experiences! Thanx so much Dale!

I want to thank you for your videos. I’ve watched and learn from your advice. Today I finally got my first long beard!!

Great hunt Matt!

Dale hey

3 yards! That's enough to fray your nerves!

good advise as the ones u get after they see u are few and far between

i had one walk about where your gun is in the vid. he got away lol

Lets go

This is the last weekend of season in Indiana. Matt, you're absolutely right. This has been the most frustrating turkey season I can remember! I'm about to head out now. Tomorrow at dark,its over.

Matt, thanks for the great video, as always. I’ve been turkey hunting for over 35 years, but I still learn something every time I watch one of your videos. Never to old to learn something new.

Thanks Mr. Dale..!! I’m having a heck of a time this year!! I’m in Southern Ohio along the river and I’m having a tough time… good luck when you come up.. can’t wait to see the video of your Ohio hunt if you make one.👍🏻 Thanks again!

This is the first season on my farm where the turkey season was more than 5 days so it's the first time I've gotten to hunt it. Gobbling all over the place. Killed 5 birds this year off our 220 acres

Give them a break next year. Trust. Have two farms wiped out not a thing there. Usually 10-12 toms on 1,000 acres. Nothing this year. And we’re in a huge uptick population wise.

Killed a nice gobbler 2nd week of the season and came close to tagging out on several occasions.. was fortunate enough to be in the game all season but gobblers did seem henned up later in the season than normal for Georgia

Congratulations on a great Bird Dale !!!

Liked your video, I only had one goal for this season- shoot a gobbler. Which I did and it happened to be a loud morning but I was at a gorgeous place full of birds… all the other times they were indeed quiet as you guys are saying.

Always enjoy watching dale keep getting after em

Great advice. Thank you.

Nice bird! Nice vest!

Great 👍 advice. Did that before. Thanks

Congratulations! Nice size Tom! Your story makes me remember back to my first kill, 25 years ago. I literally didn't have time to get to any type of cover. So I laid on my belly, With 2 Tom's coming straight at me. I shot at about 10 feet. My very first gobbler with a 7 1/2 and a 4 1/2 inch beards.

Could you make a video showing how you display all your beards and spurs?

Got my second Tom of the year this week. He was hung up with hens so I called the hens over and they picked a fight with my hen decoy. Believe it or not one of the hens went into a full strut intimidating that decoy. Brought that Tom FLYING IN!

Great tip Matt- a force or quick movement usually results in gobbler seeing the hunter!

100% the most quiet year I've experienced. Got lucky the first hr of 1st season and then I could count the gobbles on my hands the rest of my seasons... in woods normally overloaded with birds too

Congrats maybe I should go this weekend last weekend for it

You need a turkey tote. I had the opposite experience this season. Tagged out in 3 weeks and heard birds every day but one, and it was raining pretty heavily that day.

what a story! That was an awesome hunt. This is no doubt been the quietest season I’ve had in my short 6 years of hunting turkeys. I have took 1 bird but got my butt whooped this morning by the first gobbling turkey I’ve heard in 3 weeks.

Mine came in behind me i was behind a small hill for fifteen minutes he stayed there gobbling. I finally rolled over like a sniper and climbed up the hill and was able to snipe him! 🤗😂 23 lb 11-1/2 beard

Got two gobblers this year. Still hunting them till may 28th

What Bushnell scope do you use on your 12 gauge? What is the magnification?

Me to had a miss and havent seen but 1 hen hopefully tommoro is better luck but bn ina work around the rain

Great bird ,congrats . I’ve been out 10 days of 13 now . I’m getting beat up also . East / central NY . Let a few younger birds go . I know there’s some big birds around . Back out in the AM 👍🏻🦃

This has been the most quiet season I’ve experienced.. had one gobbler opening day slip by just out of range and haven’t been able to get on one since.. it seems like they were everywhere a few years ago.. ohio really sucks for turkey hunting

Thank you for your insight and every video you make, Matt. I'm just in my second year of turkey hunting and learned a ton from being in the woods and watching your videos here. Today I got my first public land gobbler on the last day of my season here in Michigan! I was only able to hunt three days this season & my first two days got cut short. I never got a shot on a monster gobbler that came in on the first day I hunted this season but today, thanks to the information I've learned through your content and your encouragement, I was able to get my first bird just as the heat was coming on strong out in the fields. BIG thanks again to you, Matt, and thanks to Spring Fever too! I used a Spring Fever slate over glass pot call, box call, and the Ol' Sly mouth call to close the deal today and get this incredible tom to come running in. This hunt was an experience I will never forget & I'm incredibly grateful for everything I've learned on your channel. Have fun hunting up north and I wish you all the best! P.S. Just picked up that same TideWe vest this season too which I've really been enjoying so it's cool to see you happened to be using it as well!

It funny to me that people think someone is a great turkey hunter which they may be but heck if l got to hunt 30 days out of a season l could kill 15 or 20 turkeys lm like most guys l get to hunt 6 or 8 times a season and still tag out lots of guys would kill lots of turkeys if they could hunt every day of the season

Sounds like you got some awesome places to hunt. I personally hunt small acres of land on high pressures areas. I never said I was a great turkey hunter but I sure have killed a lot over 30 years. My goal isn’t to kill gobblers on here to show how great I am. My goal is to teach others how to turkey hunt successfully. I think I reach that Goal every single year with hundreds of hunters telling me they have had more success due to the information they receive here. But Thanks for watching

Seems to me you wish you could hunt 30 days a season. However, as you said, you only hunt 6 to 8 days and you still tag out. So why do you need 30 days to hunt if you tag out in 6 or 8. Sounds like you need more tags and not more days.
