I really like your videos, I have just became disabled from work and started watching RUclips hunting videos. I started turkey hunting in the mid 80s and really love it. I have taken many turkeys over the years but the last 3 I have been on operating table and not able to hunt as much as I like but the videos are a way of keeping in touch with it. Thank you for your videos because they are like what I started out watching the actual hunt not just killing.
I agree with your ideas you went over. Fall turkey hunt, change location and hunt with someone with same passion. But filling tags isnt what turkey hunting is all about!!! Learning and challenging the wild turkey is what it is all about!!! Do you have kids or wife?
5. Scout all year and make notes. The 4 weeks before season are critical. Knock on doors, talk to farmers, the rural mailman, whoever you see along the road. Some of the best intel comes from non-hunters. I walk a different parcel of land every morning or evening everyday before season and make notes using onX. It's a great tool.
I love turkey hunting to be honest i have only been turkey hunting for about 3 years now basically a beginner but have had success my stepson wanted to go now he is addicted to it I only would go in the fall , but me an him decided to try the spring an man what a rush hearing them gobblers gobble watching your videos have helped me in a lot of situations thank from one turkey hunter to another love these videos !
Really like this video. It's obvious, but you really have to be where the turkeys are. I wasted a lot of my local season hunting places where I had success in the past, only to find the birds had moved or the population was down. I scrambled to get access on some new spots and things improved. A trip to KS made all the difference and restored my confidence.
Hey matt!!! Ive hunted turkeys for 30 yrs and have killed many turkeys. I dont believe a successful hunt or being a successful hunter depends on killing a turkey season. I have more passion for turkeys than anyone!!! You need to talk with denny gulvas!!! Love ya buddy!!!
Was clicking thru videos cause I got turkey on the brain and the season is a month out, good stuff and straight up advice, you don't hear that often and I can appreciate that. I started hunting turkeys here in NM about 8 years ago and I've filled both tags almost every spring, not cause I am a great caller I just hunt hard. I always knew where the birds were during the elk hunts but I just never hunted them and now it is a hunt that I don't miss, I don't waste a moment of every day out there. You should come to NM and hunt turkeys, I'll put us in some good spots in the Gila and I'll sharpen my skills by killing birds with you.
@@daleoutdoors17 Yep this year has a lot of unknowns, I am pretty sure that I'll get out this year but you never know with all the closures. April 14th 2021 I'll be in the Gila and you're welcome to come kill some Merriams. JP
Man I live in North Louisiana and there is no public land here with a turkey season and the one piece of private land that I have permission to hunt floods every single year. It’s absolutely heart breaking. I’m to the point where I’m goin to have to travel and pay hundreds of dollars to turkey hunt.
Most years I kill 3 or 4 and tag out but some years it's hard.. I hunt small tracks turkeys just pass thru some,hard hunting but I had a great lease my first year turkey hunting and friends have great spots, I'd consider myself a 7.5 but I've had years I had spots that were hard to kill a bird and I killed my bag limit I was a 10 , killing birds at great spots can't compare to killing birds in places it's almost impossible, I have spots I may hear a bird gooble 4 or 5 hunts all year maybe none but I've been places I hear 100 goobles in a morning and kill a bird every hunt
I enjoyed your video Matt. I got a nice 4 year old Gobbler in NY. Passed up 1 at 70 yards and another with 2 saplings that he stay behind before dipping away. Ran into a number of Mountain Bikers and Hikers on the Public Lands. Hunted 34 days in NY+ NJ this Spring. No Gobbling at all in NJ. Picked up in NY. Heard Gobbling on May 31st-- last day in NY. Looking forward to the Fall in NY+ NJ. I took a nice NJ Fall Gobbler last Fall. Up to 119 Wild Turkeys now with 49 Gobblers. Right into Hiking now to keep the Lungs strong. Again -- good video.
The fall hunting recommendation is spot on. Not a lot of opportunities in the deep south, but it really is fun. You can call all you want and as loud as you want. Wish there were more opportunities, but bird numbers are a little down. Need to be conservative.
Anyone new to Turkey hunting...if you really truly watch all of this man's videos about 10 times each. You will be a turkey killing machine in no time flat. Ive been "turkey hunting" for 20 years, but these last 5 years I have really became obsessed with it, last year I could really feel something click, this year it has come together and I just feel the groove . I have been swimming in birds. I'm hunting with a bow so its TOUGH to close the deal, but lord knows I have had a heap of close calls already this year. ( if I was gun hunting I would have killed 3 birds already) My point is, this mans videos made my hunting really come together. Put together a lot of pieces I needed put together. There is nothing like experience and you can only get that in the woods, but these videos saved me years of figuring out stuff on my own.
Dale - You just described my decision process and why I solo out on my own for both deer and turkey! Would like to pick your brain on public land strategy for spring gobbler sometime in 2020. FletchMAn
Well when your 13 and your dad won’t bring you anywhere, it’s kinda hard. On my farm there aren’t hardly any, once a year I will see them, but it wont even be season

What turkey loads do you use matt thanks
I almost always hunt alone. I actually prefer it.

I’m fired up for next season after that video!!
It's not sad when you tag out.. ready to fish n hunt the fall
Just wondering, do you do your own turkey cape mounts
How did I miss this video 🙄
Really enjoyed this
I am guilty of hunting with
Friends and I leave to early probably because they do
Guilty !!!

charlie meis find them on the roost in the evening and set up on them before dawn
Dustin Sanderson they roost on some other cranky old guys land, he won’t let anyone on his land
Set up on property line with hen decoy , soft yelps and clucks, make her sound calm
Dustin Sanderson I tried that, I will keep trying, thank you
Good info Matt.....gotta have time to go. What do you do for work ? or make a living ?
That's right dale I'm going to shoot one not listed to them
Why 2020? What about some autumn tips?? 😜
Dale, you talk like your preaching a Baptist revival...
Lol. 😆
Well I am not a Baptist but I am a ordained Pentecostal preacher.
Been preaching 26 years.
