Totally!
Jake with the dead leg had me dying. He turned into lieutenant Dan.
Boy oh boy, that sure goes down as one of the best THP Hunts ever in my opinion. Congrats on a successful mission, to get your first bird with such a fine shotgun.
This is as pure a turkey hunt you will ever find. In the words of an old country preacher “if that don’t light your fire your wood is wet.”
Wow guys what a video. The tribute to Nick's grandaddy was maybe the coolest thing you've ever done. I know there will come a day when I'll watch this one again. Congrats Nick and Jake.Thats a hunt.
I shed a few sweet tears on that one Nick. Bless you son for such a great tribute to grandpa!
By far the best ending y'all have ever had to a video. Granddaddy wouldn't have it any other way than have you work for it. Congrats on a great hunt and video!
Before my previous pastor passed away , he would always say you haven’t “lost” somebody if you know where they went. Ain’t no doubt , grand daddy was there in spirit. Great hunt , my friend !
A man’s bird with a man’s gun. The cat and mouse game you 3 gentlemen played is among my favorite to play with them wise ‘ol toms. Congratulations, Nick! Your grandpa is proud of this one and he’s smiling down without a doubt.
This will easily go down as one of the best turkey hunts y’all have posted yet! Congrats Nick!!
I don’t never comment but I have to say that was one of the best tributes I’ve seen , grandpa is proud I’m sure
Hell yeah, Nick! Granddaddy was look'n smiling from ear to ear!!! Congratulations!!! Cheer!🍻🥃
Congrats Nick. What an awesome memory. Had a little dust in my eye thinking about my dad and his gun he gave to me. Jake, I knew your leg was asleep the second you got up.
You guys never disappoint. Couldn’t imagine the feeling packing that gun with a bird in your shoulder. Awesome video
My favorite THP hunt! I know your Grand daddy is so proud! Hits too close to home. Amazing hunt and priceless memories! Congrats Nick! Now to find some eye drops for all this dust.
Congrats Nick! And I believe Jim Ryser knocked it out of the park on the ending song. Got a little dust in my eye too.

That's a CLASSIC!
Hunting. Family, heritage, tradition..., a glue that holds together generations of men and women. This is what it's all about. I know grandpa is proud.. I just subscribed. Best turkey hunting videos, but please give us a better look at them spurs boys 👍🏼😉
Nick, I'm sure Grandpa was looking right over your shoulder on that one!!! Congratulations and God bless Buddy!!!
Sooo good. My first gun / present from dad was an A5 humpback 20, to match his Belgium humpback 12. Oh, the memories we shared with these two guns! He’s now 94, and I guarantee he could still bring a pheasant down faster than most guys 50 years younger! Thx for this, boys!
Episode of the year!!! I can tell Grandaddy was a great man. You honored him well.
Yes Sir! Man what a tribute to your grandfather! No better way to honor our passed loved ones than remeber their passions and embrace them ourselves as they bestowed them upon us! Made my day God bless all the THP guys. Thanks for letting us along Nick. Sure makin granddaddy proud everyday young man!
The dead leg is one of the most real turkey hunting things I've ever seen!!! HAHAHA way to push through the pain Jake!
Hunting with papaws old gun defiantly brings back memories and tears to your eye. I miss hunting with papaw
Good stuff boys...keep the tradition alive...Never forget
Congrats Nick !!! Ryser you nailed the song!! Now thats a HUNT!!!!

Thank u!!! One of my favorite songs I’ve done for THP! Those boys bring out the best in me!
I never related more to something than jake trying to run with his leg falling asleep😂 if that’s not turkey hunting I don’t know what is.
nothing better than a grandpa miss mine more and more everyday! shooting my biggest bow buck months after he passed was the most emotional morning of my life. hunting is the greatest gift
What a wonderful hunt/video. Ol Ryser can go from writing a funny song about Ted missing to something beautiful like that to honor Nick's grandad

My fav THP song I’ve written. ❤
I went from laughing out loud at jakes peg leg, to my eyes sweating at the tribute to Nick's grand daddy.... probably my favorite video to date, good job fellas
I felt this! My grandpa’s old guns disappeared after his passing 22 years ago because of family things. I recently found his model 12 12 gauge for sale and bought it. I cried when my son held that shotgun and my first squirrel last fall with it was super emotional.
Awesome job Nick , Grandpa smiling down right now
What a special episode!! So happy for you Nick! I got a tom last season with my great- grandfather's A5 made in Belgium in 1935. It was a wedding gift from my great grandmother to him. My grandad used it, my dad shot a tom with it the first turkey hunt I ever went on with him, and now I got one!
Thank you Nick for sharing your grandpa’s story. You best believe his smile is as big as yours. My condolences to you and your family on your loss. God bless. ❤️
Someday we will have to discuss.... The Sweet 16, Bird Hunter Special. Thank you John Moses Browning.

I have a Sweet 16 and she’s featured on a THP hunt with Greg that was an absolute thrill.
I been watching y'all since 2017 an I got to let you know this video of Nick and Jake is in my top 10 favorites. My lord i was sitting on the edge of my recliner leaning towards the tv wishing that turkey to his gun. What a tribute to his old granddad. Thanks boys!
Well earned guys. Nick you made grandpa and everyone else proud with that hunt. Walk it off Jake😂 The ending had me balling my eyes out with a heavy heart💜 Great hunt and on my daughter’s B-Day. A hunt I’ll never forget!
If this video doesn’t hit 10k likes, we as fans aren’t doing right by Nick’s Grand Daddy. Very cool story guys especially Nick passing the shells onto his dad to get one in Texas!!
One word: EXCEPTIONAL! The hunt, the video, Mr. Ryser....EXCEPTIONAL!

Thank you / it was an amazing thing to be part of this loving tribute.
Don’t see how a hunt could be more special than that. Congratulations
Man this hits home! My grandpa passed January this year and i have his old Rem 1100, hoping to take it out this year and harvest one with it!
Congrats Nick! Granddaddy is still making memories with that gun. I'm sure he was sitting right beside you in spirit! Great tribute! Great job capturing it all on film Jake. Awesome job. Stay safe, Cubby
My Grandpa passed the day we found out we where having a baby she is 4 know…I killed my first turkey last year! Hands down the most amazing experience I’ve ever been apart of! I thank him for helping me on that one!
Hell of a hunt! A memory you will never forget Nick. Best video of the year. I played Rhett Akins song Granddaddys gun on repeat while pounding 2 Busch lattes after watching this video. Tell you that for free
One of my favorites ever been watching since the beginning almost. A good tough earned bird too.
Wow thp thanks for makin me sob like a lil school girl sorry for your loss nick but now u never have a hunt without him
Not to be that guy.. but ima be that guy 😂 About those ants, that's actually not a queen. That's a polymorphic species of ant that has different sized workers. The big one is a soldier, tasked with defending and chomping food. The small ones are workers, tasked with taking care of the brood, queen, tunnels, and finding food. Furthermore, typically, the workers of an ant colony are in charge, superior to soldiers and even superior to the queen. I love your videos THP, and I love when you show ants!
I appreciate Nick even more now for this episode, even shed some tears like Jakes intro to his family’s opening weekend gun camp video few years ago. I come from a Browning family and we take turkey hunting very seriously. My grandfather is 101 and knows my dad carries his old A5 mag12. Calls everyday at 12:00 (Nys quiting time) to see if it barked that day. Guess I have a goal to set with it too someday.
I believe we all got some dust in our eyes on that one. This is now my favorite turkey episode you guys have ever produced. Thank you for letting us tag along and witness that hunt in all its glory. Congratulations Nick, your granddaddy would have most definitely loved that one bud.
CONGRATULATIONS NICK and your Granddaddy was looking down and is absolutely proud of you. 🦃
I never leave a comment but had to after watching this. I was fortunate enough to inherit my great grandfather’s Remington 1148. A few years ago I harvested a turkey with it opening day of the season. Awesome hunt guys!
I grew up hunting with my Papaw's Remington Model 11 which is the same as the Browning Auto 5. I still have my Papw's and my Dad's Model 11. Treasures both of them. I won't live long enough to kill as much game with any other weapon than those two shotguns. Quail, Grouse, Ducks squirrels, rabbits and turkeys. The improve cylinder bore was my deer slug gun. I have never been as accurate with any other gun than that Model 11. My Father swore by his shotgun. I could never out shoot him bird hunting or killing rabbits in front of a pack of beagles. Great video boys.
Fantastic tribute hunt guys! Got'er done despite over calling and your gun jamming on round 2 😆😁. Mr. Ryser - a tip of the hat!

I think we all got a little dust in our eye😅awesome hunt and it's that much better that you had to put in the work for it in a unique spot
Awesome! Your Grandaddy was 95 when he took his last turkey! Wow! I'm 63 and still chasin them, so that was inspiring to me. I miss all my huntin buddies that have passed on. Several that were much younger than me. Glad for ya.
Long time listener first time caller. That was a beautiful ending. So stoked for Nick that he’ll have this memory preserved so well. Great job fellas.
I love my Belgian A5 got it from my grandfather yrs ago great gun
I have that exact model same gun, circa 1972 or so, and it’s the finest shotgun I’ve ever used, bar none. That was a great tribute to your grandad. Congratulations!!
I’m liking the new format where you’re showing more of the details of the hunt.
No better way to remember him, outstanding gentlemen and congrats Nick!
Words can not simply be put together to express how heartwarming and respecting this episode is. Jim and THP, you guys did a great deed respecting Nick and his grandfather. May he rest in peace, and you nick always have fond memories of him and the times spent together. Congrats on the turkey you earned it, and I have no doubt he was sent by your grandfather and God. God bless the THP crew

@JimRyser You definitely have a talent Jim.
My husband ( Bill) said this was one of the best THP videos he has seen . Nick using his grandfathers Browning A-5 ( going old school ) , paying tribute,respect. class act all the way. Bill has his father's Browning A-5 ( 1956 model ) 2 3/4" standard , an has killed several gobblers with it . true treasure of a gun . you guys did an excellent job on videoing this hunt .
That is what hunting is all about thank for letting us be apart of that special hunt.
This episode brought tears to my eyes. I did the same thing with my dad’s gun that he used for deer hunting.
What a fantastic hunt!!! CoNgRaTuLaTiOnS Nick!!! And in honor of your Granddaddy!!! Semper Fi Devil Dog!!! And Jake, Outstanding Job taking the video!!!
Amazing hunt, the gun, the work, the thinking on yer feet. What makes chasing those thunder chickens so great. Congrats Nick!!
I love these hunts you all share ! I especially loved this hunt because I haven’t laughed so hard in years watching Jake and his dead leg. Then after I calmed down from laughing so hard , tears 😢started to flow from the tribute of Nick’s grandad! What a beautiful and touching display of love and respect! And by the way, great turkey Nick!
😢 Dang now that puts dust in my eyes, love the old song that gone with it. Congratulations Nick. Rip 🙏 Sir, He is definitely smiling down on ya'll ❤ THP Hunting Group.
What a great tribute! I know your granddaddy would be proud!
GREAT VIDEO AND I REMEMBER THAT GUN WHEN THEY WERE NEW BACK IN THE DAY . YOUR GRAND-DADDY WAS VERY PLEASED TO WATCH YOU AND HIS GUN STILL BONDING THE FAMILY TOGETHER . WE NEED MORE VIDEO'S LIKE THAT AND I THANK YOU FOR IT ( GOD BLESS )
Congrats man your Grandpa was definitely lookin down on ya and you’re definitely makin him proud.
R.I.P. to Grandad Bud. He was watching. You did him right.👊
Sorry to hear about your granddaddy. For sure proud of you and smiling ear to ear looking through those pearly gates. Awesome video.
Belgium brownings are amazing. My late grandfather bought one new in 66 with a 31 inch barrel and a full choke to use as his Turkey gun. I’m gonna try and bag my first Turkey with it this year
Nick, may Buddy rest in peace. I am SURE he is looking down at you, smiling, as you harvest a bird in his memory and honor.
Congrats Nick! Grandad was sitting there with you on that one! Amazing tribute!
Congrats nick. You know he was excitedly smiling with you on this hunt.
Great hunt and Tribute to your Granddad! I hope your Dad and maybe one day your son or daughter will take one as well.
This is gonna be my first year Turkey Hunting hopefully I'll get me one

Good luck! Follow THP suggestions and I bet u do well!
My favorite video by far. Love how you wanted to use it in memory of him, he is proud of you up there
Nice tribute to your granddad, Nick.
Way to go Nick 👍🏼 Buddy was right there for that one. What a special hunt. When my Dad passed I got grampas 12ga double. I went right to the place where grampa had his trailer and shot a bird within 300 yds of it. Good to keep those family ties strong 💪🏼❤️
Granddaddy was like yeah you can use my gun but your going to work for it lol nice work
I’ll be damned if right there at the end I didn’t get something in my eye. That’s what it’s all about, fellas. Not just making memories, but keeping old memories alive.
Best THP episode in recent memory! Way to go Nick!
Nick, grandpa was right there with you buddy! One of my favorite hunts this year.
I've got my granddad's Remington Model 11 made under the Browning patent. It is a 20 ga with a 26" improved cylinder choke. It has taken a train track load of quail and a few pheasant. The blueing is almost none existent but still works like new. I've bought 2 boxes of Federal Hevy weight 2 & 3/4" shells and intend on it taking it's first ever turkey this year. I'll have to get'm close but that's no problem for me, just adds to the excitement of the hunt. Way to go fellas, a special tribute to the old timers!
The video got better and better the more I watch the ending was great! Best video I've seen in a long time! Grandpa is smiling Big !
I came here for some turkey hunting and stayed for the memories. Shine on grandpa's Browning auto 5
Has got to be one of the best episodes!!! Congrats nick you did your granddaddy and that ole a5 right. 🎉
Im sitting here watching my favorite hunting channel and my wife must be cutting onions behind my back. Great tribute fellas and Jim for the music. I lost my dad a little while back and I had the opportunity to harvest a buck with one of his rifles this past season. We are absolutely blessed
You guys are no doubt the best! I have my Dad's model 12 made in 1925. He passed away November 13th 2020. I will try to get a gobbler with it this year. That was a tear jerker.
Great Hunt Congratulations on the Tom Turkey with your granddaddy’s gun he would be proud. God bless you all.
Congrats Nick, I'm sure that your Grandpa was looking down on you with a big smile on his face.👍👍
Dang, that one got me right in the feels. Way to go, Nick. I'm sure your Grandaddy was proud as a peacock.
I am not sure how many THP episodes have been created since the beginning of the youtube channel. But let me say this. By far this episode and hunt tops them all. The ending made my nose itch and tears roll down my face. I miss my Granddaddy too. This is way deeper than just hunting and making videos. Keep sharing with the world the greatness of Gods handywork in the outdoors!
As an adult onset hunter, I never got to hunt with my grandpa. This video was just perfect through and through, and a great tribute to nicks grand daddy. A few days of struggle to make you earn it followed by a perfect heart pounding finish with a beautiful bird. Definitely touches the heartstrings. I’m so glad Nick was signed on to THP full time. Semper Fi brotha! 3/25 ‘I’ Co.
Way to go Nick. Still making memories with your Granddad. Glad he passed on the love of turkey hunting to y’all. I know yall miss him but carrying his gun and getting that awesome gobbler is so good
What a cool way to honor your granddad's memory. I bet he is looking down and smiling from ear to ear. God bless your family.
Absolutely a beautiful tribute! Congrats on the bird, Nick!
