The first time you Yelp and he doesn't reply. It means he's on the way. So sit tight. The gobbler knows the exact location your call is coming from. It can take up to an hour sometimes, but it works.

Man I started turkey hunting by myself 2 years ago and your absolutely right...... I couldn't tell you how Manu times I've over called turkey's...... what I do is get a few responses and then I'll be silent for fifteen or 20 mins , they can't resist the silent treatment haha

There are many mistakes to be made, and you shed light on the one we all struggle with. But, busted birds are great memories too. Getting close enough to close the deal is electrifying. Good word, thanks.

I have called in 82 turkeys in 27 years and I am still in turkey hunting kindergarten,but I absolutely hooked. Thanks for the great information!

This was great video, I just went on my first turkey hunt last weekend, went with very experienced hunters and I learned a lot and it was the most fun I've ever had. I'm addicted now, but love these videos of what not to do because I'm new at this so I wanna absorb as much knowledge as I can, thank you

Great info, Matt! Thank you!

Guarantee plenty of Turkey Veterans besides me are watching your videos! One thing, I have seen more+ more of on the Public Lands is the " Sprinting Spring Turkey Hunter" I don't know if these are Younger guys or what. Few years back, I hit a Crow call and got a Gobble response in the next Field. 100 yards away and out of the woods comes a Sprinting Spring Hunter moving towards the Rockwall separating both fields. He was moving!! I know he saw me. That's Public Land though. No shot was heard thank goodness.

Thank you for the great information. I always like watching your videos!

This was both helpful and encouraging. Thank you!

I love this video

I like to use ground blind with decoy's around me, call some while they are in roost, then if you stay still and quiet after they leave roost sometimes they come in to investigate.

Great advice. It's a lot of fun to play the cat and mouse game with a gobbler.

Another Great video , I enjoy watching your videos . Learn a lot , can’t wait to turkey season with my kids this spring . It’s good turkey hunting here in the north east . Always try to learn from my mistakes o make over the many years of hunting.

Perfect -- I enjoyed watching it. --- When people ask me about Turkey hunting --- I tell them to picture the woods, hills,valleys, ridges, nooks, and crannies as a giant chess board. You play chess with the Tom. Making him make the last move in a direction and location picked by you.--- My style of Run and Gun Turkey Hunting. Upstate NY. Web

I enjoy your videos. Thanks for making them.

Great video!!!

Great info it’s not easy sometimes to take an old gobbler he knows every stick and twig on a ridge or flat wherever he’s at that’s for sure.

Thanks.

God bless a good crow call!

Late to the party with this comment, but do you still use a crow call for heavily hunted birds? I’ve seen guys spook birds badly with a crow call where I hunt, lots of hunters in the area. Been super hesitant to use a locator for that reason. Love to hear your thoughts.

Good videos and videos I’m new to turkey hunting had success last season and good encounters so far this year Loads of fun I like it cause you can move to a few spots in a day really unlike deer hunting

Highlight of the day

This year will be my 31st year in the turkey woods and I cannot wait. Matt great video keep them coming!!!

I didn’t start killing turkeys till I gave up hunting out of a blind started with the run and gun style. Definitely improve things for me and it’s a forever and ongoing learning experience. Lots of fun sometimes I win but usually they win but as long as you have the experience you gain in the outdoors it’s experience like nothing else, lots of fun.

Missed a shot at two turkeys ( with a bow ) due to distance misjudging, but man was this helpful ! Thanks

Good video bud good points

GREAT VIDEO BROTHER!!!!

All of this sounds like common sense, yet I’ve made every mistake... more than once. Thanks for the video.

This is my third season listening to this talk. It's kind of like my little pep talk. I laugh every time I watch it as I have made every single one of these mistakes and had the exact outcome he mentions. Thank you sir for helping me be more intentional and stopping to pause and think when that turkey gobbles. A little bit of patience and planning in the turkey woods goes a long way.

First time turkey hunting 2 weeks ago. Got within 70 yards of a gobbler and he went completely quiet. Figured I'd got spotted and sad down against a tree to assess. Less than a minute later momma bear and 2 cubs come strolling on by within 10 yards. Never saw or winded me. Figured I'd call that a successful first hunt and try another day.

When you said the setup is the most important thing you do, I knew you were a turkey hunter. I tell new hunter, where you sit down is the biggest key to killing turkey's. I try to alway get where he has to be inside killing range before he can see me, or I can see him. Can't always get it perfect, but I have seen this prove itself for 40 years.

U need to “light pur” putt, kit, and Kat softly and gently on a slate call when they in range but not visible

I tried a method I read about on a hung up bird. There were several birds (ended up being Jake's) hung up about 100 yards. We couldn't see them so I slowly moved closer and called. Then moved closer again and called. When I got as close as comfortable, I turned back and worked back to where I started and called. Before I knew it, all the jakes were at a full run coming at me. Have you ever tired this method with any success ?

I'm relatively new to turkey hunting. I've had two experts call me in two nice Easterns and I finally tried solo. I watched this video and killed a 21.8 lb. Eastern with a 12 inch beard and 1 1/2 inch spurs taking your advice.

I'll never forget that time two old geezers (who claimed to be seasoned turkey hunters) arrived half an hour after sun up and started responding to EVERY gobble, even going as far as to STAND UP in a field to call back, they couldn't sit still for two seconds. The worst part is we called the Tom to the edge of the bush, no more than 40 yards infront of us. These jokers ruined our closing day for what would've been a guaranteed turkey for us. It didn't help they were insufferable and accused us of hunting past legal hours, meanwhile they were party hunting (illegal).

Running water also can act as background noise to be used to your advantage but at the same time don’t abuse it, wild turkeys hearing is excellent and vision is 3x better than a humans during the day

Matt another helpful video I thought maybe when you said know your Terrain you would have mentioned make sure your on the right side of a fence row I remember you talking about that in one of your other videos thank you sir.

Maybe he is. :)

nice vid.. I do the opposite when I locate a gobbler that won't come, I call to him and walk away.. the run back and wait for him to swing by.. also I have had a lot of success gobbling at birds in the afternoon who are out looking for gals.. never forget the last turkey hunt I had with Mr. Bill Harmon.. we had a bird 90 yards away in sight but another bird in the field across the creek... When I gobbled at him I thought Mr. Bill was gonna come unglued, but to his own admission it was a brilliant move because that dude came screaming in as he finally noticed the full strut decoy> I did not want to lose him to the other bird, Bill shot him at 12 yards, wad hit it in the face

I am a novice turkey hunter. I have not killed my first gobbler for the season is not open yet. However, I think another important detail worth recognizing is game trails. Like most animals turkeys do utilize game trails. And if you're in a spot, and a turkey is coming to you, you should do your best to create a mental map of known game trails. That way you might be able to predict the birds movements along trails. And ultimately, where he may pop out.

Still looking for a box call. Is there an email list we can get on when they are back in stock? Love your videos.

OG turkey hunter

I am sitting in a blind turkey hunting ATM and I called a doe to me 😂 she walks right up to the decoy... Heard a gobbler off too my left in the woods but I can't seem to move him in ever... He has been there day after day always gobbling to me but never breaking.

Got another call...... slam the door!😅

I call it run and gun first thing in the morning one on the roost and try to beat him before he pitches off. Its worked so well it seems too easy. Carrying one out with the sun just peaking over the horizon...and the other 50-75 percent of the time you run up on him in the tree, or never hear anything after one or two gobbles.

Seems I have to relearn this lesson from time to time. I started turkey hunting in 1989.

What's better all around for a locater a owl or crow locater?

I love bushcutter reply trust me I have come out the woods not knowing rather to scratch my watch are wined my butt lol

If hens go to the gobblers like you said, why do gobblers often come to our calls? I've only killed one so maybe it's just my personal experience. Last year I was walking around and hit a call once and I heard alot of gobbles in a field at the bottom of the hill I was on. I set up on top of the hill and hit it again and I could see them through the trees running towards me.
