  • Janis explores turkey hunting in his home state of Michigan, a land that barely held turkeys in his youth. The hunt delivers challenges of quiet birds and tests the patience of Janis down to the last moment.

    These short-form videos are just as high quality as the podcast, books, tv series, and documentary! Please keep'm coming!

      Their documentary was outstanding. Documentaries are so often these days made to push a specific viewpoint. I’ve never see one put the best possible version of the opposing arguments besides their documentary Stars in the Sky. They put the arguments against hunting right in front of the viewer when other docs would never broadcast the opposing arguments.

    janis said in a podcast once regarding turkeys, "god bless 2 year olds" and that stuck with me. I called a 2 year old across a giant field, across a semi busy street, through a hedge row and into my lap last year. When I got my hands on the bird and saw the spur and beard length, that was the first thing that crossed my mind. "God bless 2 year olds"

    What a great example of conservation and the development of Turkey populations. I wonder if they can ever be established in Alaska? Winters may be to hard and too many predators though. Keep up the great work!

    • @dangerousdylan6262

    Nice hunt. I killed one of my first few turkeys in an environment just like that except I was in South Carolina. I was just sitting on the edge of an old road next to a field that bottlenecked where I was at. It was my first time on the property but it looked like a good place to sit. It was a warm afternoon and I began to call fairly lightly. About an hour passed and by then my ass was numb, but a tom snuck up over my right shoulder in the field I mentioned before without making any noise. He was about 25 yds and I rolled him. That was my first turkey that I had killed by myself and I was only fifteen. Lol good times.

    Killed a similar sized bird the other day. My first gobbler in 3 seasons of trying. Bush whacked him walking the outskirts of a clearing at about 30 yards. Couldn't care less if he wasn't gobbling and strutting. I was happy as a clam.
