That turkey was like “no weapon formed against me shall prosper” 😂
I have to admit Ted you have my admiration for life after the way you handled that. I think I would’ve broke the gun over a tree. That be max frustrating.
you're right about that!!
Not over a turkey. If it didn't go off on some beautiful canvas backs then yes, smash it.
I’d definitely wrap that freakin 870 around a stump somewhere. I’m shaking mad for him and I didn’t even miss lol. 😂
Things like that are exactly why I have an over/under
That do be max frustratiing
Perseverance my friends, this is why we celebrate victory. Hard earned taste delicious and this game is far from over.
I believe that saddle scope mount is binding up your action. Happened to me before, if you get the screws to tight it’ll bind it up.
I would do this also.
Old School yes sir! Hopefully Ted reads this so the next time he uses that gun for any reason that doesn't happen.
Don’t use saddle mounts period. They are janky from the get go. I know it cost money , but drill and tap the gun , put a permanent base, and mount the optic directly to it. It’s just not worth having things go wrong in season. Especially when this is your job lol. Sorry for the luck , we all encounter it from time to time .
Agree. It's a shotgun! Put some glow sights on it and go.
smh :(
Take that dang scope saddle off and pitch it into the ditch. That thing will bind your action and cause lots of troubles. Otherwise, great footage guys. You sure were into the birds. Thanks for all the fine footage!
I agree. I've watched at least 3 videos so far where the gun failed to fire and every one of them had a scope saddle on it. That's why I have truglo gobbler dots on my shotgun, never had a problem. Red dot scopes are good for kids, but adults don't need em.
Yup. I bought one for my slug gun years ago. JUNK. You don't need optics for turkey hunting.
THP needs a gun sponsor!! That’s 2 separate videos where the turkey lives to see another day bevy of the gun not firing!! #benelli
Sounds like Mossberg is sponsoring them. Ted said Mossberg sent them some new guns and the video ended with him patterning it in.
Way to keep your spirits, Ted. As a KY boy it’s cool to see this epic footage in the great Bluegrass country. Thanks for adding us to your tour.
You got one of the best turkey states in the country, KY and TN seem to be unmatched when it comes to turkey hunting.
I swear in some of y’all’s videos I can actually hear the bird drumming and I get so hyped up!!! Love Spring Gobbler Hunting
Growing up on the East Coast hunting and snowboarding my whole life I looked up to guys like Scotty. Really cool to see this collaboration!
Man, you all just really know how to put together a great video. From start to finish, it flowed great and was quite enjoyable to watch. Good job.
Glad to see you boys got to come to Kentucky this year, excited to see how y'all did here.
What a ruff one! Bad luck has Ted written all over it lol! hope he gets him one in the next episode, he deserves it.
To bad that happened Ted. The problem is that you are trying to ease the bolt closed. You have to be aggressive when you chamber a round. I know you are trying to be quiet but the gun is not designed to be used that way. That is why an AR15 has a forward assist to push the bolt home. You need to chamber your round when you’re start walking in. The gun does have a safety and you are the secondary safety by maintaining proper control of your firearm. There’s probably nothing wrong with your gun, just operator error. When you get time after season try the same scenario with your gun to see how it works. You’ll see that you need to be more forceful when you rack a pump gun. Great video. Good luck.
Some of the best turkey calling I’ve ever seen in action!! Awesome hunt guys!🔥🤙🏼
Take that scope mount off that gun. I bet it has your trigger group out of whack.
It's possible. But you really need to slam them shut
nice job as always! your one of my outdoorsman heroes!
I also have had turkeys come in to me no calling just the sound of my walking in the woods. After 40 plus years of turkey hunting I have experienced anything is possible. My biggest mistakes I forget anything is possible. I guess I am sometimes jealous of young hunters who have 40 plus years ahead of them. Never give up. Don't beat yourselves up. It doesn't help stay focused. And remember anything is possible. I have shot turkeys with single shot, pumps, autos,black powder. But my go to is over & under. Dependable and simple. Enjoy make memories and make up good excuses the longer the list verifies experience. Same excuses not learning. Rocket science and hunting. A good hunter doesn't claim to be a rocket scientist.
You just showed some of the struggles that every hunter goes through at one point or another. I had a similar situation and it cost me a lot of money on a more reliable shotgun 🤣. Great authentic video, it’s got me fired up for the 2022 season!
Handled it like an absolute hunting veteran Ted 👏 amazing footage fellas.
We have all had those kind of days like Ted. Had three different rifle rounds fail to fire on three different bucks on film. Two died second round and one is still laughing.
Who else enjoyed the hand drawn Turkey target. LoL. Come on. Like we wouldn't notice. Too funny boy's. Sorry Teddy. You having a turkey torcher from hell. It will come full circle. Good luck buddy.
Beautiful head on that bird Roy and great job filming ,I agree about hunting with others being fun and all and especially good with my wife but the lessons earned alone (yes I mean earned not learned) seem the most gratifying somehow ,after all your fun with friends you deserve that special time alone occasionally ,may first closing in take care
Great footage love you guys
Man that was a STUD pretty bird. Ted got a bit of that turkey joo joo. Idk what it is about them birds but they make me look like a blooper reel every year and i LOVE IT.
Dang man I'm about sick to my stomach for ya Teddy. That's just terrible. I feel so bad for you brother. Way to try to stay positive. This was the most intense episode for me EVER. I was literally yelling SHOOT EEEMmm! Lmao
yea. me too. hahahaha!!
I don't think it's Ted. It's the gun!!!
@@to8860 uhhhhh yeah, that was pretty clear to see that the issue was the gun lmao
Some of the coolest footage ever
Never a dull moment with thp
Damn Ted! Keep at it man. Great content guys!
Ted, you have the patience of Job. You'd make a great golfer. I've had the same 870 express for 30 years and killed a bunch of game with it. Including a 22# tom last Monday. I agree with the tip on ditching the saddle mount. Also I don't store my gun cocked! I think it weakens the spring. At the end of the day, empty the gun and snap it on an empty chamber.
He flinches so hard in his shotgun😂😂😭
I feel like dudes camo is super bright for that enviroment
Yeah, it seemed like it’d be a western pattern
Exactly my thoughts. Mossy oak bottomland is the perfect shade for eastern hardwoods. Might've been the difference in that second bird hanging around a second or two longer for a shot.
On Edge on this one. Put my PA Bird down hunting with longtime friends yesterday. Just love it all. On the guns you have to keep them cleaned . Hunting hard puts dirt sand weeds in places you dont see. Thank you for your efforts and taking us along with you.
Never in my life did I think Mossberg semi-autos would be the answer for gun problems. 😂
That bird on the road had me inside out. That was a hell of a bird. Great Spurs! Ted, I may have shed a tear for you when your gun did not go off. Gotta love turkey hunting!
Ok, I commented to early. I finished the video and saw the 2nd encounter with that bird who seems to have 9 lives. Ted, I definitely cried for you after that! That’s frustrating. We’ve all been there at some point.
Seeing all of the clicks freaking hurts man😂 everyone’s been there
Disagree…mine has never done that
"Mossberg sent us some guns" **empty shell gets jammed in the action first shot** LOL
Exactly! They should send it back....never been a fan of Mossberg.
Was wondering who else caught that. These guys are a little too blue collar sometimes. A mechanic doesn’t own shitty tools. If you hunt for a living invest in a decent shotgun.
@@to8860 the Remington misfired to start all this
@@RSI77 well the Remington didn’t do any better. Doesn’t take $1500 shotgun to kill a turkey
@@bs431980 Ok.I Missed that. Thanks!!!
Remington 870 Wingmaster, 44 yrs, not one misfire, lol, Ted way to keep your cool👍
Great footage regardless of the outcome. It's awesome to see you guys progress. Went from driving the smurf to getting sponsored by Mossberg. Hope your new setup works out for you on the next one Ted.
Sheww that’s some tough luck right there. You’re better controlled than me. I think if my gun did that to me on 2 big birds like that I’d be needing a new one. Good luck guys.
Man, I’m sort of glad to see that other hunters also have S happen sometimes in the field. But this video takes it to the extreme. What do you do? Keep on keeping on. Nice video. I wish you can shake ol Murphy. Good luck
Great episode. It's crazy to have that many opportunities in one day and not capitalize on any of them. I have had similar days myself.
Missed one in Kentucky yesterday. I know the feeling
I love teds mid hunt interviews 😂
“We got someone driving around us in a big ol diesel truck, idk but we’re going to get down there before he does” 😂😂😂
That first turkey made out the ears of the shooter not being under the mask. it was frustrating to me watching you guys take your goodo'l time to shoot. lol :) Great stuff, thanks for sharing.
I've killed my limit every year for almost thirty years and I don't wear a mask ..... you probably believe that turkeys get call shy also... lol
Great video Billy ,spitting and drumming !! Awsome ! Congrads! L Rob.
The ending of the tethrd ad was great😭😭
Ted man... many would hang the gun for less. You are my source of perseverance!
I’ve been watching Ted in all these videos when he deer hunts and turkey hunts that shot in this video had to be a bit rushed cause the turkey was gonna go over that ridge. But the camera guy called the turkey stopped for a second and Ted shot to the right of the bird clear miss. He gets caught up in the moment, and with the experience he has from all these encounters I’m surprised he doesn’t keep cooler in these moments. He’s gotta try being calmer and he’ll smoke them every time and the last 2 birds that’s just bad luck also you got a new reason to buy a new toy!! Great content love you guys keep it up!
Destruction comes to mind when i see this. Ted u handled it like a champ
Ted's got the misses this year, ugh! Missed last Monday myself dude! Hang in there
awesome footage!!
Getting THP in an ad before a THP video is big moves.
I called one in with that same mouth call. One of the best mouth calls I've used so far
Great mature attitude Ted! 👍 You’re gonna get one buddy......paid your dues.
I know how you feel Ted. I missed 2 birds the last day of the season a couple of years ago due to a gun issue. Now like you I have a new gun. Keep going strong.
Hey Ted, the saddle mount on your 870 is known for coming loose after a shot or two, so it’s possible your sight is off. It needs to be drilled and tapped, or use a meadow creek mount on the rib of your gun. Hope this helps.
What a let down but that truly was some great footage. I almost recommend to a friend to a get a saddle mount so glad I watched this.
Wow. Ted. Great show of how to be calm bro. Good on you.
Well this video made me feel a whole hell of a lot better about the bird I missed this morning. Tom came right behind me had to shoot through brush with my body contorted around behind my legs. He wanted what he heard instead of going to my decoy and approached different from what I thought he would. Learned a good lesson. Wish I had been positioned differently but shit happens.
All you can say is... Dammmn.. On this hole episode😂 part of huntin.. And what always makes us come back for another day..
This is a prime example of why hunting is fun and challenging because things can and will go wrong. Ted you are a strong man for holding your composure. Can you all give us an update on what the guns issue was?
Great footage on that Tom, Jake. Wow
I love Kentucky. It's insane
Ted, you guns knows your just gonna miss anyways lol. Scotty , that first bird seen you in that high dollar camo, that works better out in the western terrain 🤷♂️
Great episode! Ted I have to say you held it together pretty good. Although it’s never happened I’ve always had the the fear of my 870 not going off. So I can imagine what you was going through. So since this episode do you know what the problem was with your shotgun
Welcome to Kentucky guys! Hope y’all have a successful time here!! Enjoy all your videos, always look forward to ‘em!
The opening day I heard 12-15 different Tom’s and Jake’s combined around the farm. Iv always had turkeys around but never that many in one morning..... the very next day i heard 6-7 in the same area.
We had the same issue last year (2021). My son(13) and I in youth season. Thought it was the shell. He ejected and put a new one in. Got the bird. Turned out his firing pin was gummed up a little bit. Made for an exciting hunt!
Had they same problem with my Mossberg 835...got a new firing pin and spring shoots like new now.
The all new 12gauge hammer. Good for beating on trees, rocks and other things that need hitting really hard. Also works well as a trotline weight, wheel chock, pry bar or tent stake...
Man I hate it for you Ted, I've had it happen, that hurts like hell. I still wonder how my shotgun didn't get wrapped around the nearest tree. But mine did only click once, and it was my fault for not making sure the bolt was fully closed. Still stung like a hornet though. Ugh that sucks.
This video reminds me of some of my hunts this past deer season. A whole series of unforced errors. Terrible luck last year!
Darn it, I’ve been around guns my whole life and not seen a newer gun do that. Most of them would at least give you a light primer strike. Thanks for sharing your videos and let us know what’s wrong with your gun so we can learn something.
Good job not saying regrettable words, Ted. : )
Damn the luck Ted. I felt that one. Good thing is, you're on tour and there will be other opportunities!
By the way, Ted's calling chops are getting real good!
I live in Kentucky and I’ve been every morning and haven’t been getting so close but not able to get a shot, hopefully I can get it done soon
Ted that is some good calling there. Really good. Any chance that you could do a vid on calling?
You boys gonna have to shuck clear of them cheap ass shotguns. Stay with it man!
I turned it up a notch this year and have only brought my bow with me. Unfortunately I haven't killed yet I'd normally I'm tagged out opening weekend. These Ky birds are very smart.
I had the same thing happen to me on a gobbler with my w 835. Scary thing is, the primer on 3 shells were dented but not enough to go off. My trigger was never cleaned since I bought it… make it a yearly tradition to clean the trigger now!
Teddy i know exactly how u felt bud. I have a Mossberg 835 12ga. I have duck and goose hunted with it and for the first time in prob 15 yrs last yr mime started doin the same exact thing. Only thing different was mine was hitting the primer but the firing pen was wore down just enough it wouldnt pop the primer. So needless to say this off season im replacing it. Guess things like this happening is why we call it hunting and not killing lol. Hope u get it figured out man.
I love them Kentucky woods! Forest Service keeps it clean. Warbs bird be educated... Ted, what the hell? That's like 3-4 times now... 🤦♂️🤦♂️😎
As much ground as you guys cover up and down the hills it won't take long to get tired of your new Mossbergs. The heaviest shotguns in existence.
You guys should keep making that THP hat that Aaron always wears (bottomland, THP insignia, brown mesh snap back) I would buy one!👍👍
No matter what those were some awesome hunts! Y’all always laid them down no problem using factory beads. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
That Forloh camo the one guy is wearing is cool, but it’s still too much gray/light colors for here in the East. He was lit up when it turned back to him.
On the run all the time....gun maintenance needs to happen nmw I shoot my gun regularly through the season yes cost ammo but nit frustrating like doing it all right twice and having the gun not fire. Great videos as always. Lessons learned
YOUR MIDDLE NAME MUST BE LUCKY!!! LOL GREAT VIDEO.
Opening day for us yesterday.. doubled up at 6:30 a.m
I love y’all
Sorry Ted about your luck but man that bird had hooks for days. That was an awesome hunt. Hope your luck changes for the better.
Ouch this whole video was so painful to watch! Have you ever broken a bone and then watched a video of someone else doing something similar and you can actually feel the pain they're experiencing at that moment as you kind of relive yours all over again. Yeah that's how I felt watching each of these scenarios play out.
But hey at least you got tomorrow and plenty more opportunities and states to come. Those fumbles make the wins all the sweeter. Out of tags and season here within a reasonable drive and no more time to travel. Man, I'd love to be missing or fumbling on one right now!
love the T.K. and mike reference @1230
Yeah it happens I had 3 different turkeys today something went wrong on all 3 birds I feel your frustration bro, but I got to keep going!!!!
Dam Ted that is some crappy luck, I'd of told Jake to shut the camera off and I'd of wrapped that gun around the tree a few times and left the dam thing in the woods and not to of had to ever worry about it going off again. Laughing...... Keep after them and that new gun and you will get one yet. Sick footage Jake, you guys rock. As always be safe and stay healthy my friend.
That atta boy Ted dont cry over spilt milk and don’t look back just keep looking forward!!! We all miss em!
Catch and release! Stay after it, won’t be long.
Them ones that get away are sometimes the ones you learn the most from.
Great video! That sucks Ted. I got to tell you. More than likely a tree would've had a decoration if that happened to me.
I feel like I lose the rasp in my calling after a few hour's in the woods and it annoys the crap out-of me lol. I dont know why it happens but it does which sucks when you already struggle getting rasp lol
Should of had an 870 man LOL that sucks in the worst way ever. Great video also
