Congrats on your first turkey! I was genuinely excited for you, your excitement came right through the screen.
Yes, you can call a turkey from 100 yards, and further. If they can hear you and they don't have a hen, then there's a chance!
Couple tips. Try to be quiet, turkeys have pretty good hearing and human voice can carry a ways. Talking loud can deter them.
Don't skyline yourself. If you think turkeys are in a valley below, than stay out of sight of that valley until you find a place to set up. They can possibly see you poke your head over a ridge. Turkeys have incredible eyesight.
Know that a turkey can pinpoint your location within a few yards when you call. That turkey knew right where you were and went straight there. It helps if you sit with your back against a tree or brush to break up your outline. And he saw you moving. They catch movement super easily. That's how you got busted. You busted him right back though! 😉
A different call is helpful for getting turkeys to "shock gobble". I use a crow call or a goose call. They hear that sound and will often gobble, giving up their location. But won't head that way since it's not a hen. That gives you the opportunity to find a place nearby to set up and then turkey call.
Also try to use trees and brush to hide your movements. Keep something between you and them when you're working into position.
Call for turkeys after shooting light in the evening. They'll gobble on the roost. Then you know where to be the next morning, and can be in position before they wake up in the morning. Just don't get too close to where they hear you and may see you.
I've learned a lot from failures of my own. I taught myself last spring. Learned a ton just by watching turkeys on private. I've gotten a couple, set my boyfriend up on a few too. Called one off of private last weekend, just to watch him strut the fence line and leave 😢 it's a lot of trial and error, but it sure is fun and exciting. Plus they're delicious! Congrats again. Don't forget to save the beard!
Awesome! Thanks for all the info. Seems like every turkey encounter is different and requires different approaches. I'll be back at it in a few days. Can't wait! Thanks
No " Catch and Cook ".........🤣🤣
Great video man and congratulations.
I really wanted to do a catch and cook but I was wiped out after a long ass day. Believe you me... there WILL BE a turkey catch and cook video in the future!
Congrats buddy! Looks like a hell of an experience!
Thanks! Was definitely awesome and confusing. Can't wait to get back out next stretch off!
Congratulations on your first turkey!!! It’s fun that’s for sure
Yeah that was a literal blast. Can't wait to get out again!
Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you buddy!!! Thats a big wild turkey. Most ones i see are smaller. Enjoy that bird its going to be the best turkey meat you've ever had. Cant wait till i see you get a deer next or even an elk. Though dont forget abput the grouse and shroom hunting in your new found love of hunting larger animals. Wild meat harvested tastes so much better than any store bought meat, and is insanley healthier. Take care.
That bird was a monster. Wished I had brought a scale to weigh it. Def over 30 pounds! I turned one of the breasts into chili verde burritos. Delicious! Definitely more hunting content to come but yeah... you never forget your first love haha I'll never stop chasing grouse, mushrooms and trout!
@@CascadeBackcountry Turn it into a trifecta hunting, mushrooming, fishing trip, all in one. I do that sometimes, and bring everything to hunt grouse, deer/bear, and a fishing pole and a lil bait. Always bound to get something even if its only fish most of the time, but at least its something.
Yeah I do the same thing! Usually able to find something to eat 😄
CONGRATULATIONS brotha....thats awesome!!!....RIP tripod...but you got it done ....i have always wanted to go for a spring bear/turkey hunt....im excited for the day i get my first turkey...ducks geese and grouse are the only birds that i have hunted....so turkey is next hahah
Thanks! Already ordered a new tripod 😁 highly recommend a turkey hunt!
Gobble gobble, scratch scratch, look out look look out, there's a turkey on your back!
Bro tried to sneak up on me! Thank god I'm quick like a cat 😁
Hell yeah buddy! Nice work! 🦃
Thanks! I'm already ready to get back out
@@CascadeBackcountry I've killed turkeys in the fall before but never gotten a tom. That's freakin awesome!!! Excited for you man. Hey when's this weather going to warm up? I might have to cancel my July backpacking trips..... ridiculous!
Man... hunting turkeys in the fall... sounds like a whole new ball game to learn! Yeah I'm really hoping we don't get a repeat of last spring where the snow stuck around FOREVER. Hopefully you don't have to cancel your trip. Fingers crossed! I have faith 😁
Just found your channel because I recently took up grouse hunting and loved your videos. As someone who just started turkey hunting about 4 years ago and is now an addict I can tell you that you got the hard part out of the way by finding areas that hold birds. If I were you I would just try to practice as much as possible with your pot call and mouth calls for the next couple of months. I would advise buying multiple mouth calls because everyone is different and different people need different styles of mouth calls. Shane Simpson on youtube has great videos explaining how to call. You could also watch The Hunting Public and/or Shane Simpson's turkey hunting videos on youtube, they really know what they are doing plus they do some Merriam hunting in the mountains so it would be relatable to your situation. Congrats on your bird and good luck this upcoming spring, i'll be looking forward to watching some more videos!
Thanks! Yeah I'm already getting excited for turkey season! Will definitely be doing plenty of practice and research. I worked my ass off for that first bird last year but still feels like I "got lucky." Really wanna earn it this year. Hopefully it works out and there'll be a fun video!
Congrats! Looking super classy with an over under in the turkey woods. Got my first one this year too out in the NE corner of the state. Bumped mine then called for a couple hours on a field edge over decoys hearing nothing. Then decided to go after him. He blew up, came in fast and I squeezed a shot through a gap. Not sure there is a typical turkey hunt. Thats probably what makes it so exciting.
Thanks! Yeah I like to keep it classy in the mountains 😂 Turkey hunting is definitely a blast. Wish I coulda got out more this year but it's a LONG drive over to that corner of the state. Congrats on your turkey!
Great stuff on that first bird! Calling in and killing your first bird is so special. I kill lots of turkeys. Some advice i would give, if you dont mind, learn to cut on that pot call (or on another call)..its an excellent locator call and conveys excitement to a gobbler. Plus its not the same lame crow call everyone uses. Add in some purrs and clucks when the tom gets close and that will really pull him in. Getting a mouth call thats easy to blow, like a ghost cut call, is vital as well. You can make really soft yelps, whines, and clucks without moving your hands. Using those soft calls help the gobbler key in on your position, hopefully keeping him from walking up behind you again.
Thanks! And thanks for the advice. I definitely need a lot of practice with all things turkey hunting. Sadly, it won't be this season. Good luck out there. Sounds like you'll put some meat in the freezer!
Awesome! Sam from our group just got one. He was in the snow! I actually have a couple of turkey hunt videos on my channel but that was before I transitioned to off-road content. I got hooked on turkey hunting because calling them in is just so cool. Last one I shot was kind of similar. I called it in but in snuck in behind me. I commando crawled toward it until it walked past a tree. Awesome video!!!
Definitely another late snow year. Curious to see how it affects high country season again. I remember you doing a turkey video.. I think there was a lot of napping involved 😂
Keep trooping man. You are going to be one of the top channels within a year or two.
Thanks again! Glad you're diggin it!
Nice shootin Tex 🤠 congrats on the first Turkey!
I'm pretty much a sniper with that shotgun. It'd be a shame if I could hit a grouse but not a turkey!
Congratulations. A buddy and I flew out from WV this spring. We had a absolute blast, so much public land. We both ended up tagging out with 3 each in Spokane county. I cant wait to go back.
Thanks and congrats to you! Yeah that was so much fun I'm already counting the days to the upcoming turkey season!
congrats on your success, would you mind editing the location out of your comment, please?
fr I don't know how you aren't more popular, your fun to watch!
Me too! Haha Thanks man
Nice videos man! Thanks for the grouse videos, I just started getting into hunting small game and those grouse vids are a big help in knowing what to look for in the PNW. Almost all other grouse vids in YT are out east.
Heck yeah man! Grouse hunting is fantastic and it ain't too shabby here in the PNW. Definitely seems like grouse videos are ALL filmed in Michigan or Maine haha
Nice job, that first one is always the toughest
Yeah man, I put in serious miles and long days for that turkey!
Same for me, yrs ago. More experienced now, locate them first, and first week of May is my go to time. This is when you can sleep in, and hunt all day, hens are on the nest and you should have plenty of horny gobblers roaming around. I like May also because the snow isn't an issue, I like to hunt up high. Where were you? I'm heading to Chewelah next weekend, how was the snow?
Good to hear. I'll be headed back to the Chewelah area in May! Still got one more tag to fill. In this film, I had picked out a bunch of low elevation to hunt but being easy to get to, there lots of people. On my next trip out, I will looking farther into the mountains. There was still plenty of snow on the hill tops and north slopes but in a week or two the mountains should be pretty clear. I doubt you'll have any trouble finding birds!
Awesome, thanks for the info, that's why I wait until May, get much higher and avoid the crowds.
@Morgan Kruse I think I'm gonna follow that same line of thinking. Hard to wait tho!
Congrats on your first long beard buddy!!
Thanks! I was obviously pretty excited haha
Colville National forrest is my target in a few weeks 🤙🏼
Good luck!
@CascadeBackcountry Thanks brother, going with a good friend of mine, I'll let you know what happens 🤙🏼
Nice work man.! I’m hoping to get out this year. Might go hunt the Teanaway unit, unfortunately I don’t know it at all. I usually hunt Colville area
Oh yeah I am also unfamiliar with the Teanaway unit. This hunt was just north of Colville. I'm headed back next week to try to fill my 2nd tag. Hope you get to get out and fill your tag!
Congrats! Nice bird. I did not score on my first spring hunt.
I kinda got lucky on this one with a lot of hard work
P has her gobble down if you need a pro gobbler on your next adventure.
Oh man do I!!!
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watchin!
Holy shit that was awesome. I need that camera hat setup!
Yeah I'm ready to do that again! That camera is an Insta 360 Go 2. Great little camera
That is the best ever man!
I mighta got a little excited there haha
well done young man, congrats! How long was his beard? thanks for sharing the hunt.
I realized when I got home that I forgot to film his beard! It was about 7 inches I'd say. Thanks!
Any luck with morels this spring?
Yeah I went on a few outings and cooked some up. Try to do it at least once every spring!
Good job, I love turkey hunting, I’m from Wenatchee wa. Let me know if you would be interested in hunting with me, I have a few good spots. Congrats bro.
Thanks man! I'd definitely be interested. Time is a bit of an issue for me this season but it'd be cool if possible. You hunt turkeys in the wenatchee area?
Yeah here in the Wenatchee area, I also go to colville, usually on a weekend that I’m off
Yeah I was in the Colville area on this hunt. You ever do any rock chuck hunting?
No, I only hunt animals that I’m gonna eat, and those I’ve never eaten before so no I haven’t hunt them
Oh I'm gonna eat one! 🤣
Nice job
Thanks!
How do you scout and know where to even begin finding birds? Not asking for your spot, just some guidance on how to get started. Thanks!
I definitely don't have a spot haha Honestly I covered a lot of ground to find birds. I started researching months before turkey season. I picked out about 30 public land spots on OnX maps then I just started exploring them looking for birds. Basically a lot of work paid off. Get a full tank of gas and grease up your boots. You'll eventually find one!
@@CascadeBackcountry Thanks Man. I guess that’s the way!
This is the way 🤣
You know how to hunt?!
I mean... not very well haha
