3 things to remember when you finally get a Gobblers attention (calling techniques)

[@CumberlandOutdoorsman]

I can attest to this advice, because it's 100% true. I have sat in the woods just listening intently, and have heard hens yelping and purring on an adjacent ridge barely audible to me, but then heard gobbling 200 to 300 yards away in response. It never ceases to amaze me how far a wild turkey can hear. Over calling and overly loud calling can sometimes cost you a gobbler.

[@danclas5983]

Just started to hunt turkeys again this spring after a long lay off. Glad I found you and your channel. You actually explain and teach the skills needed to be successful. Far better than watching hunting videos that are for entertainment purposes where they usually over call and blow the birds up. Man I gotta a lot of practicing to do. This year is more about getting back in the woods and hearing some birds and learning. Had four gobblers roosted in the woods behind me yesterday morning and they were hot before they even hit the ground. Then they flew down and headed the other way. Just another day in the turkey woods. There were other bird talking in the woods on the other side of the road and that's the direction they went. Hard to compete with the real thing I guess. Thanks.

This was very helpful Dale. After off and on turkey hunting I killed my first gobbler last Saturday in Kentucky. I am 51 so it is never too late. I hunt deer like crazy but those turkeys are addictive

[@josephbucci3749]

You spend a lot of time doing these. Thanks. I appreciate you’re telling folks that calling isn’t about sounding like a pro, just having the right cadence.

[@fixtritephil7712]

Yep Matt,you God and the Turkey. Priceless!!

[@johnpaultupta2336]

This is the best turkey calling channel on youtube. Thanks man!

[@lucasmartin852]

John Paul Tupta I agree

[@robertklimas9356]

Dale is the best in educating us turkey hunters.

[@carlinburgess1520]

Good stuff haven’t hunted Turkey in years with my Uncles n Grandfather,you helped me out a lot I’m hooked Roll Tide.

[@Taxidermist47]

Very good information. I have found this out the hard way years ago when I started turkey hunting back in the 80's. You are spot on from my experience.

[@williamthompson5978]

Great Chanel,I am still a rookie but loving every minute. Worked a bird for 45 minute ,got him just outside gun range ,but what a feeling!

[@mitchkilby9029]

Been turkey hunting 38 years wish I had these videos when I started , great tips , good luck.

[@PatrickLHolley]

Wow, Mr. Dale, I've been watching your videos all week. I'm a relative newbie, and I have learned so much just in the past few days. I'm going to watch all of yours!!! Thank so much for this valuable information!

[@darrellmayo9066]

Hi Deal, I have been watching your show and IAM new to your channel. I haven't been turkey hunting since 1997 but I started back this past Saturday. Well I been listening to you and getherd some of your tips, before I went. Well I got me a gobbler 28 ponder and I was happy! So thank you for your advice, it worked. By the way I ordered one of your calls. Your a dedicated teacher and a turkey caller

[@davidjones838]

Thank you. Great video full of information. Good luck

[@redskin4040]

You have the best informational videos on KZbin. Thanks so much. I've only hunted turkey twice but I plan on hunting them a lot more. Thanks again so much and I hope that your season makes a big turn around.

[@PaulRevere2009]

I'm heading out on my second turkey hunt this Friday. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@paraplegichistoricalsports5700]

I have learned more from you than all the hot head tv dudes combined. Sir, you know turkeys. Thanks from Sampson Co. NC!

[@dexron2497]

I've been turkey hunting for 20+ years and I think I still just get lucky most the time

[@fessenden3337]

I’m 17 this has been my first year, I’ve been going out every day semce April 18th, seen a few hens so far and hear a lot of toms in the morning but always on the Nabars property and never come over

[@muddywaterfishing]

@@fessenden3337 persistence pays off, all it takes is one of those gobblers get curious once and come on over. Just gotta sit as long as you can

[@hezekiahabdiel6868]

I know it is pretty randomly asking but do anyone know a good site to stream newly released movies online ?

[@yahirrohan8780]

@Hezekiah Abdiel i use flixzone. You can find it by googling :)

[@elijahatlas5203]

@Hezekiah Abdiel Lately I have been using FlixZone. You can find it by googling :)

[@bradgordon5912]

thanks Matt. toning it down, going silent along with patience are 3 of the most effective types of calling that i have found to work once that Tom has located you.

[@ramrodrymensnyder2648]

Took me a long time to figure this out lol, less is more.

[@MWA78]

1st video iv watched of yours and I must say you must one heck of a guy! Just a really calming voice you have! Now I have never turkey hunted but bought several woodhaven mouth calls and been practicing this week.. I will be able to hunt in my club as of April 30th witch leaves me 3 days left of the Alabama turkey season so I'm going to give it a shot come Friday. Anyway I'll be viewing all your videos now I found you so keep them coming! Thank you!

[@jacobjohnston6192]

Love the information, love the channel. Killer perspective!

[@jeffwindham1328]

Good advice. Thanks for teaching. Hope your luck changes.

[@johnminger9610]

Yup, you nailed it!

[@barrygregg3476]

Hunted all my life. Never turkey hunted though. Watched every video this guy has. Went out and bagged one opening day.

[@davidwaters9125]

And I'm not surprised to hear that. Props to you & congrats... and Dale is THE GOAT

[@kevindunseoutdoors26]

Spent my mornings frustrated a lot during the C week in wi. Heard a crazy amount of gobbling most days, but they would all hen up right off. Finally Sunday night, my last time I could hunt for the 3rd week, I had 3 toms come out and I shot one at 43 yards. Never heard a gobble, and I saw 9 birds on that hunt and none of them ever strutted.

[@jamiesloan5902]

I had a coyote sneak up behind me one day, that I shot at. And, I bumped 2 gobblers early the other morning, and had to watch them run away. Going again in the morning. I'll get one tomorrow! lol Your tips are the best, brother. Thx

[@lenawalsh5065]

I like that you are helping teach people how to turkey hunt. But whether you are telling people the top x things you don't want to do or whether you are telling folks the top x things they should do - it all boils down to this....That every single situation is unique and different - and that's what makes spring turkey season so exciting and so challenging.

[@JunTheGroomer1]

Another incredibly helpful video!!! 💯🔥👊 I'm so glad I found your channel!!! You got a new fan!!! I subscribed, liked and followed on Facebook and Instagram 🙌👍👊

[@budman1181]

I do appreciate the KZbin videos sir! I don't do facebook But I do appreciate the turkey talk THANKS man

[@419forging]

Awesome video. Great advice.

[@andrewdietrich8634]

great video, thanks for the tips.

[@randlerichardson5826]

Took my nephew this morning juvenile season today and tomorrow. We heard 8 different gobblers but couldn’t get to some of them to far away. We know where 3 of them are at though and maybe going back on them in the morning before church maybe.

[@mtm7014]

Gonna get out into the woods as soon as Muzzle Loader season is over. Any advice on setting up for a fall turkey when there's a creek with a clear cut field next to it that leads to a hillside of hardwoods? I plan on looking for evidence of turkeys in the area but how deep should I set up in the woods if there's good habitat along the edges?

[@pipemonkey1]

Thsnk you so much for your videos. I lo e them and learn a lot.

[@wizardofahhhs759]

My great uncles never used anything other than a homemade wingbone call, if you've ever heard one it just makes a peep, peep, peep sound, and they almost caused the turkeys to go extinct around my neck of the woods😄

[@jamesedwards6269]

Love the videos brother from Williamsburg va.

[@IntrepidArcher]

Really helpful. Thanks!

[@TheIceman101]

Good stuff, Thanks.

[@mikemartin2766]

Your wright iv been hunting them hard headed things now for 35 years haven’t missed a spring morning here in north west Florida on public land.iv killed more turkeys with a wing an just low clucks an wines little woo calls than anything else an mostly on up in the morning around 10 or 11 an in the evening.remeber hunt hard an hunt all day.good hunting my friend an god bless.

[@danielfetchak1865]

I watched this video and killed a nice 3 year old bird this morning. All by soft calling he came a long way too! Thank you so much!

[@20cameron1]

I hunt in the mountains in SC and the first spot I went: did a natural soft yelp that I barely squeezed out and a Tom way off responded back. After that he never made another response. I then made by calls louder with Barred Owl calls. Now I realize I should’ve stayed with just soft and not done it as much.

[@jamiesloan5902]

I just gathered up my turkey gear for in the morning. It's been raining for the last 3 days, so I'm ready. I don't enjoy hunting in the rain. Will a #6 2 3/4" Federal Heavy Field Load be sufficient, or should I use #4's??? I've got the #4's just incase a coyote comes in. LOL I've never shot a turkey at 50 yards, with the #6 load. I'm wondering about the penetration.

[@ramrodrymensnyder2648]

Jamie, I dont know what everyone else will say but I definitely would not try shooting a bird with #6 at 50 yards. Thats me personally. Especially with 2 3/4 shells. I bow hunt now, but I always hunted birds with #4 minimum and I always used 3" shells. Not saying you cant kill a turkey with 6 but they are tough birds and you damn sure dont wanna watch one fly away after you pile him up. And they WILL if you dont kill them.

[@44DegreesNorthOutdoors]

"No ones out there, just you, God, and the turkey". Awesome quote!! Gonna have to remember that one next time I'm ready to lose my shit over a bad hunt...

[@kurtwilhelm3823]

Thanks!

[@mikeb1189]

Calling turkeys sounds alot like picking up chicks, be confident, relaxed, but assertive... lol fellas

[@ForgetU]

As 'they' say a day in the woods is better than a day at work. Remember why we do it...

[@joeytarkington5188]

thAnks man great videos

[@danielfetchak1865]

Where i hunt its mostly rugged terrain with deep hollows and ridge tops no fields close by. My question is when its raining is it still worth me going and hunting the woods i know the Turkey's go to the fields quite often when its raining. How should i hunt them in the woods when its raining should i call the same as if it weren't raining?

[@danielfetchak1865]

@Frank Andrew Thank You for your reply

[@graysquirreltreeservice7299]

Love the videos 😁😁👍🦃 🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃

[@mikerelford1298]

Great video

[@maryclouser3748]

I use a box call n a silent call. it works better then a mouth call.

[@undeserved1781]

Thanks for what you do and the info is dead on dont do facebook but I listen to you and I'm subscribed. May the LORD make his face shine upon you; bless you brother

[@randlerichardson5826]

I was listening to my hen turkey this evening feeding on some feed I put out she’d walk peck the feed and cluck really light. Cluck and walk and feed cluck just loud enough i could hear her

[@southeasthunting4127]

One gobbler disliked this video

[@garageguru1869]

Can you do a video on time intervals between calling and gauging how much to call based on how hot a gobbler gets?

[@donaldjones5701]

I know this comment is 3 years old but I’m new this year and can’t find a video or info on this exact thing!

[@bradleywinans5684]

Thanks Matt :)

[@simonmenges9300]

thanks this is probably what I've been doing wrong this season

[@thelongjourney3847]

Feel your pain brother! A slump is never fun, but can all turn around on a dime!

[@wv-fisherman5049]

Why would a gobbler have a delayed response?

[@joshuagetts9276]

Matt dale you are a gobbler 🦃

[@wwoutdoors7300]

Lost my turkey hunting lease this year. Been hunting there 32 years. This year hunting public land. Not even getting to go till 3 weeks in. Going to be tuff starting over in new area.

[@oldArmyVet]

I've heard some hens that sounded awful. lol

[@andrewn.5117]

The simple Yelp on a friction call has killed me many alongbeard

[@wwoutdoors7300]

Last year was my worst ever. Just wouldn’t come together. Normally get my two no problem. Not last year. O.
