Double-Beard, Public Land Gobbler - Calling All Turkeys

[@MOON_KID]

Just found your channel. I really appreciate your calm demeanor and ability to explain what you're doing. Thanks for sharing your love of the outdoors with everyone

[@robertforss8881]

I get people correcting me all the time when I call some of our hills mountains. I ask them if they have ever hunted bluff country. Once you climb a few of those bluffs while carrying gear, it becomes a freaking mountain. Great hunt and video as always.

[@simoncarden4949]

That was an awesome hunt! Glad you got him.

[@johnhutchinson5398]

Really great hunting. Wish I was able to take a hunt with you this spring. It’ll probably be my last year. Disabled and now my back is killing me. Waiting on MRI’s and what they will be doing to try and fix me and get me going again. I hope I don’t miss this last season I figure I have. I don’t know if I’ll even be here or even able to go next season. April 8th start’s here in north east ga. Turkey season. Some big birds around these hills but I can’t climb these hills anymore so my chances are slim to none trying to find a flat place to hunt. I’ve put three nice gobbler’s in the freezer over the years. I’d love to connect on one more before I have to give it up. Good luck on this year’s season. I love your hunting videos. I get so excited when you’re bird comes in. Almost like I’m sitting there with you. I use to be able to owl, and yelp just like a hen with just my mouth but after heart surgery and the tube ran down my throat it messed my vocal cords up and I can’t do either. So sad about that. My first cousin that’s my age can call with his mouth also. He lives in Silas Al where my family is from. Some wonderful turkey and deer hunting in Choctaw county. I’ve walked those hills since I was six years old with my daddy and grandpa and my kin deer and Turkey hunting. Killed my first buck when I was eight and my first bird when I was seven using a single shot 410 Stevens. It was stolen with my daddy’s double barrel lc smith field grade shotgun and my long Tom that grandpa bought me. I’ve had some really bad luck with my half brother’s and sisters. Thanks again for sharing your hunts with us.

Shane, this may be one of the prettiest places I have seen you hunt so far!!

[@ShaneSimpsonHunting]

It was beautiful for sure. I spent more than an hour on that hill just enjoying the view.

[@redjetfirebird]

@@ShaneSimpsonHunting I bet. One of my favorite things about any of the hunting I do is enjoying the beautiful places surrounding me. Where I hunt here in North Georgia, it is gorgeous! Mountain birds are tough at times though! I was fortunate enough to take two mature longbeards this season.

[@reallifehunters]

Running all them cameras pays off. Enjoyed that perspective just as much as any!! Nice Job!

[@Civicfa5king23]

Hunts like that make the early mornings all worth it. Can't wait for some nicer weather here in PA.

[@ronniefields5237]

Great camera work Shane. That was beautiful watching that big boy coming through the woods in the sun. Congrats on a great public land bird.

[@ShaneSimpsonHunting]

Thanks Ronnie

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

A big thumbs up for a self-filmed public land bird!! You must have nerves of steel to even mess with the camera as long as you did. I get busted WAY to easy!! Great job!

[@chadmiller2580]

Wow, what a monster! Man that was beautiful!!

[@ridgeraisedoutdoors]

Dude, Shane that was an awesome hunt man good stuff

[@woodworkingoutdoorsman1660]

Shane, I have to know what owl call you use. So realistic. Please share, thanks

[@ShaneSimpsonHunting]

It's the Hook's Harrison Signature Hoot'n Stick

[@terryhurlburt9113]

Very nice hunt, Shane! Yup, that backdrop was great!

[@bensmith3913]

Shane what kind of camera equipment do you use or recommend for someone starting out in filming ?

Congrats Shane incredible bird.

[@gregallsup9522]

Awesome Job!!

[@johnfuss1168]

I thought he was gunna walk away. Good hunt

[@travistaran2398]

Which Hook's pot call is that you're using? I'm looking for a new mid-price one and I like the sound that has.

[@ShaneSimpsonHunting]

It's the "Boss" slate.

[@travistaran2398]

@@ShaneSimpsonHunting Do they still make it or is the Assassin the new version?

[@ShaneSimpsonHunting]

The Boss slate is a recent addition to the Hook's line. The Assassin has been around for some time.

[@huntervandenelzen7065]

That coyote howl done with a turkey call? sounds great brother

[@ShaneSimpsonHunting]

Yes. I use the same call that I use for turkey calling.

[@jasonjackson4527]

Awesome great work

[@TacoRios]

Great hunt and great video! Congrats!

[@jeffklecan9329]

Hello there Mrs. Shane how many beards would you say you have just curious nice video take care

[@ShaneSimpsonHunting]

I have a few. Most were lost or destroyed over the years.

[@bobsconzert3648]

Great job,as long as you've been doing this and I could hear the emotion in your breathing right before the shot!!! That's what's it's all about brother! I know you use Woodhaven calls , what diaphragm are you using? Awesome hunt, thanks for capturing and sharing!!!🦃🦃🦃

[@ShaneSimpsonHunting]

Thanks Bob. It's actually Hook's calls that I use. The pot call is the "Boss" slate and the mouth call is the 3 reed Batwing (sold only at Callingallturkeys.com)

[@larsjen6198]

another great video and hunt. is the 3 reed batwing from hooks your go-mouth call?

[@ShaneSimpsonHunting]

I swap between it and the 3 reed Reverse Combo cut. Both are only sold at Callingallturkeys.com and currently out of stock. I should have some more in June.

[@larsjen6198]

@@ShaneSimpsonHunting thanks, think i'll give them a try

[@nickcrum9124]

Sweet video! What is the model of gun you use

[@ShaneSimpsonHunting]

Most times I'm using my Mossberg 535

[@rodneywroten2994]

awesome video Shane

[@joefryer6534]

good video..loved it

[@lucashuff1153]

Shane which friction call and striker do you use?

[@ShaneSimpsonHunting]

Currently I'm using the Hook's Boss slate and alternate between a Hook's IPE Gobblestix flared-tip striker and a striker from Zink. Not sure what it's made of but looks like some time of oak or other hardwood.

[@lucashuff1153]

Thanks Shane I’m using the new Ol Yeller and it just doesn’t have that distance too reach out on those windy days.

[@jeffmueckl5580]

Great hunt!

[@tinman5660]

Well done, love your videos.

[@aaronhall765]

My Killa! Congratulations brother. Beautiful photos and hunt. That turkey had all kinds of emotions, looking at his snood. Great footage.

[@ShaneSimpsonHunting]

Good eye. That snood was up and down constantly. Lol

[@tracystringfellow211]

What mouth call do you use

[@ShaneSimpsonHunting]

Usually the 3 reed Reverse Combo but lately the 3 reed Batwing, both from Callingallturkeys.com

[@tracystringfellow211]

Thanks Shane. I've been turkey hunting for 34 years now and you are one of the best callers I have heard in a long time.

[@RodneyArrow]

You got in his head baaaaaaad!! That was awesome when he committed and came in on a string. I'm nervous about over-calling. Do you always call that much when they're hung up like that or does it vary by bird? Seems like a tough read.

[@ShaneSimpsonHunting]

It varies by each bird, situation. You only get one chance to get it right most times and considering how far this bird had already come, I figured some aggressive calling might seal the deal at the end. I got it right this time. Lol

[@RodneyArrow]

@@ShaneSimpsonHunting Thank you for that info! It really means a lot.

[@h.a.t.r.youtubewithdonldbo3870]

What you do is incredible. 100% jealous here.. What decoy are you using???

Thanks Donald. It's the Lucky Duck Jake decoy. Link to it is in the video description.
