What slugs/sabots do you use?

Well, make it fair then. If you can hunt half a day, then the tags should be half price.

I have a Hoyt Mirage 2 that is 20 years old. Still shoots as fast, straight, and accurate as the day I bought it. Never prescribed to getting the needy latest bow. My friend Bill had a Matthews bow he didn’t want to let me shoot because I would want one. Well, I shot it, then proceeded to beat the pants off him with my Hoyt while he short his new Matthews. Nothing can replace time spent behind the string of a trusted bow!

Awesome!

Can you show how to get the tube call and how to use it

Have more videos on how to locate and terrain lay out for turkey 👍

Dale, what choke do you use and what tss shotshells would you recommend? I'm thinking of buying the 3020 (Lord willing) before next turkey season. Thanks.Dave F

Great video

Hi Matt, I hear you about the pressure.just was wondering if that last hunt of the season was in N.Y ? if so, just be thankful, that you can still hunt there, because the dairy farm that I first started turkey hunting, on 30 years ago, in N.Y is now a Multi-Million dollar horse farm. No Hunting ! No Pressure (I guess) L.O.L'S . Just gotta move on, Thanks for a Great channel !

I’m honestly thinking it has to do with luck of being at the right spot the exact same time a gobbler is there. I’m going to get skunked this year. 90% of the turkeys are hens and they just aren’t doing what they normally do.

Southwestern Ontario 🇨🇦 here. First season for this lady hunter. I’ve been able to call out hens mid - late afternoon but both hens & toms are not making any noice the past week. You’re videos have been really helpful for me in this learning journey. Thank you for all the tips & info you share!

As far as calling goes, in general, can you really over call???? I try to sound like multiple hens. Turkeys seem to talk, in one way or another, constantly. Especially if there are multiple birds together. One is bound to be talking.

Very enjoyable

That was the slowest, worst gobble I've ever heard.

This year, while turkey hunting two guys came cruising through in a gas powered side by side. To add insult to injury they stopped to look closely at my hen decoy. They still didn't see me. Fortunately for them I am not a murderous psychopath.

How late in May was this? Wow.

What do consider late, date wise?

How do you find strut zones?

Absolutely nothing is working this turkey season.

Got a few days left of the season, I'm going to try at least one more time to find my first before season ends. You did great on your gobbler! Stay safe out there and keep it up!

Idk about high pressure. You killed a 5th bird. It seems alot birds killed on one property. Late season gobbling is less. I'm still not understanding pressure. Seems still successfull. Disheartening but birds still respond in ur scenario. That's as high pressure as gets 5 birds on 1 property.

Why don't you hunt more public?

Dead Gobblers don't Gobble

Thanks for these videos!! Great information and great content!!

I have a 2011 PSE Bow-madness and same thing! Every-time I go to get rid of it. It shoots so well!! And makes me keep it just one more season!

Hey dale, I used your tips the year with the whine call. Very impressive I called 2 birds in on PA public with it. Very high pressured so I never yelped loud just soft calling, worked very well for me and am thankful for your videos. Also missed 2 in Tennessee this year but the sights were messed up and I had to get a red dot. Anyways, thanks for the tips!

I didn't get one this year. I'm bummed out. Always like your videos great learning. I'll just keep at it

I got into Turkey hunting last year, what mouth call or calls and what slate or slates would you recommend? Also what is the “new” mouth call that you start using this year and where can I get one?

That's 5 gobblers killed of one place,man Don't be surprised next year if you Don't here many

Can’t kill 2 no more n big o

5 gobblers in one property here n Ohio serious it rare find a place that kind of hunting any more …. Numbers r way down

I totally agree

Still good to get a gobbler!

Is that Ohio? Had one gobbleing behind my house this morning in Virginia, but season is over, and don’t have any tags left anyway!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Great video I'm a big fan good job buddy

South Central pa. The first day was awful. Maryland and pa hunters moved in like a army. Some turkeys gobble but went quite after hitting the ground. I just had a hen with peeps last evening. And my frist gobble without ten hunters running in. Im deep in the forest but thats were the pressure move us. Good luck to all still hunting. Thanks dale

They didn't gobble very good all season in wv

You did a Great job this year my Friend. Thank You for all your efforts.

I agree with all your short cut thoughts. All true advice. I dont know about this word, "pressure", though. If birds arnt call shy and its a fact you can bust birds up by accident and kill them. Its a fact you can shoot a bird and within same time frame call in another. You can also hunt in some most frequented areas by humans on a property. I noticed on one of your latest videos in tennessee you killed a bird in a blind in some kind of field with a structure in sight. Probably a spot more frequented by humans on the property. Idk that people equal pressure. They are used to it in places. You also said they know your hunting them. I dont believe a bird has that much brains to be honest. Thats alot of credit to them. The idea in turkey hunting if you dont shoot em is not get busted. But i agree with advice on short cuts

My favorite guy

Which slate or slates do you recommend? I just got into Turkey hunting last year. Also where can I find that new mouth call you showed this year (you blow into it and has rubber on one end)

Yesterday I took a young hunter hunting and we got into this field and struck up some birds on the neighboring property, it is late season here is TN and normally I would soft call , but this time I did a lot of cutting added with long sequences of yelps and it wasn’t long 2 Tom’s came under the fence and came right in our laps and the hunter was able to harvest his first bird!

Does anyone know what call he's using for the yelp?

Turkeys little brain will. …Tech you more than you think. Lol experience is getting frustrating ,30 years later I still ❤ it !

New turkey hunter here: got my first turkeys to return a call in a highly pressured area, super stoked about it. Signs to look for would be: feathers, scratch marks, droppings....anything I'm missing? Spring season right now...thanks folks!

Been schooled by a lot of those same ones. Started in my state when they reintroduced them from western ma Ny state 1990 you are bound to get caught 🦃👍

I know you know what's going on brother . Just by listening to the way you talk . You definitely have to know the ways and behaviors of the eastern wild turkey. To become a good bird hunter . This 2024 season as been a lot more difficult from listening to other bird hunters . I had my second to the best season I've ever had this season and only got 1 bird . To me it's all about calling the bird in . I could care less on pulling the trigger . Remember this . . . When you pull the trigger . . . The show and the education are over . For that hunt . I won't even pull the trigger unless I know 99 % I'm going to kill him . I don't want him to be spooked or educated from me messing up. It's not about coming home with a bird every hunt but I'm still into the learning stages . It's a different classroom and a different teacher in every hunt for me . Central Virginia is where I attended bird school 😂

2010 hoyt maxxis i got it new. She just keeps killin deer

All ive got is public land, havent seen many turkeys on the sidewalk outside my home byt the cornfields nearby are great!😂
