Awesome hot buddy love your program Definitely should have picked his head up lol but you got him that's the important part

Nicely done…

Just watched this one again, your 40 yard turkey dash is pretty impressive tbh

[@lynnhudson838]

Squatch!!! RUN!!!!

[@oneshot1984]

Hey Cat......An old turkey hunter trained me..... showed and told me...just before you shoot, give'm a couple of PUT's.......their head will stretch out straight up ! ......you gotta be ready when you put......thats when you shoot.........anyway,,, I really enjoy yours and Shanes vids, you guys do a great job ! Thank you for all your work and effort,, very much appreciated !!

[@jamesvatter5729]

Congrats, Catman. The 30th is still a long way off here.

[@marks101885]

Dang! I can actually hear the drumming!

[@chipkyle5428]

Awh, take the LONG way home! Not a better feeling than to walk back to your truck with a bird over your shoulder. Drumming? I wish I could hear drumming! lol. At 73 I'm lucky to hear it thunder. Your hunting portrayals are authentic. Your videos are the best examples of what really happens in the turkey woods. Man, this was a good kill. You can see your relief on camera. The pressure's off. You did well.

[@oneshot1984]

Chip......beware of those giveaways ,,,, they maybe a scam, many viewers are getting those notifications..........but on another note.... I use the Walker Game ear, the "Walkers Game Ear Digital HD Power Elite" ..... I can hear the gobblers 1 mile away..... incredible..... I have two now..one for each ear,,, when you shoot, it clips the blast so you don't get the loud blast..... every little bird tweet or dog bark for miles you will hear,,, its like hearing when you were a kid !....yeah at 67, I don't hear like I used to.....too many gun blasts and loud race bikes when I was young.......good luck !!

[@chipkyle5428]

@@oneshot1984 thanks I’ll try walkers. In the east TX Public

[@lukehurley6922]

Your video on how to make a wing bone turkey call helped me get my first turkey and it was a gobbler so thanks

[@ShawnNichols79]

Catman, I can tell you never had one get up and run or fly off while your running to it lol. You left your gun haha. I made that mistake one time but never again will I!!!!! Great hunt though buddy! We are UNGUIDED!!!!!

[@kevinflaherty7592]

I'm 60 and this never gets old.your videos are filmed perfectly.good job on the hunt and the kill.

Born on a mountain top in Tennessee greenest state in the land of the free killed him a gobbler when he was only 3 Catsy ! Catsy Crockett!

Good video, good spot, and good shooting 🔫

[@wildturkey8752]

Congratulations, awesome hunt. Love it.

[@gregwhatley6778]

congrats, i don't know why we take stupid shots sometimes. i think its the ones you have to watch for a long time before you get to shoot them. cool drumming video.

[@JayN4GO]

Great footage. Straight to the woods. I shot at a Turkey once and it laid on his stomach. I thought he was dead. He stood up and ran like hell. Haha

[@donstoek1697]

Like The Show

[@goober698]

I’ll take it either way

This is one of the best videos when it comes to hearing the drumming, outstanding and thanks for sharing.

[@johnbergeron7208]

You can take the man out of the hunt but you can't take the hunt out of the man.for all the older hunters out there who are unable to hunt anymore we relive the hunt through you .thank you GOD BLESS take care and be safe from western Australia good hunting

[@benm.3000]

Great audio of drumming! Awesome!

Good stuff man as always..

[@TennesseeMtnMan]

Congratulations Catman !!

[@martyhumphres4892]

Congrats man

[@pastorlance1]

I’ve watched a lot of turkey hunting videos and it seems like hunters with those red dot scopes either miss or have to take multiple shots. I have those true glo dot sights on my mossberg 835 and rarely have to take more than one shot.

[@Beefstew57]

This is the first video I've been able to recognize the drumming sound like you described at the end. Great work!!

[@wesleyhart7429]

How can I get a caller like the one you have? Lol is there a place to buy them

[@robertgreer5229]

I’ll take that walk with you. Awesome 👏🏻 love it! Thanks for taking us on your hunts and adventures!

[@muddyriveroutdoorsmro9919]

Awesome footage. Hearing one drum is my favorite part about turkey hunting! Needless to say I enjoyed this video

[@robertholt6606]

Congrats! That is a sinking feeling when they don't go straight down but you handle it pretty good.

[@mikem1509]

young man you are one hard workin sob, I'm an old man and just killed this years first tom. I love your video;s and keep up the good work.

Awesomeness man!!!!! Congrats!!!!

[@chadgibson7705]

Hey you got him. Good hunt. Seams the odds of a mess up with that head down are high!! See lots of birds get gone after feeding shots. Live and learn. Enjoy your hunts

[@huntinthesip]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@Richard-wz9uh]

Congrats!!

[@rmills1432]

What shells are you using?

[@rodneywroten2994]

You worked for that one Catman. Congrats

[@HookedSpur]

I have learned over the years never to shoot them with the head down and picking no matter how close they are.. I'm glad you got him.. that could have turned out a lot worse. I know you love your wingbone, but a diaphram in the cheek of your mouth to putt and get his head up is worth it.. or just use your natural voice. Thanks for the good video.

[@ronweaver9377]

Awesome hunt Catman!!!! Keep it up God bless, Ron

[@stevehuffman2610]

Great video congrats on a great bird

[@iammee1111]

He was coming right for ya!

[@auburnsquirrels]

Why did you take that shot???

[@trouthawk]

I can't wait till our season opens on Friday! Until then, I watch your hunts. You are my favorite turkey hunting channel. It's the real deal!!!

[@robgrubb420]

woohoo catman!

[@mikemiller134]

Love to hear that drumming. Had 5 longbeards at 80 yards this morning and would not commit

[@jaguar_af_outside]

So you quit hunting in crocs?

[@stormcrow7698]

Every hunter fouls up here and there.

[@christophermiller9125]

Catman that a 12 gauge?

[@budmackes792]

Congratulations Catman!! Tough shooting n the thick stuff. I called in the only bird I hard opening morning and blew it at six yards! He still out there and a lot smarter

[@jamesswick7534]

Glad you got him. I bought those TSS shells this year and I shot one March 23rd at 20 yards and he dropped and quivered a few times but never flopped. I'm not an advertiser. Just a regular joe hunter and I balked at the price but my son, who is a duck hunter, swore that tungsten was better. I've only shot the one bird with it but I'll say I've never seen one drop like that. I know there are some crazy videos out there with people taking long shots. I don't know that I'm willing to risk some of those but ill take a longer shot now than I would without them. They're pricey but how many turkeys does one shoot in a year.

[@mikelhardin3869]

Man I went to tss last year still don't take a shot over 40 45 yards but it has a great pattern and builds your confidence I think it at least it did mine

[@chipkyle5428]

Me too. I bought five 12 ga. 3 1/2" Hevi-shot shells loaded with 5,6,&7 shot for 45 dollars! I've never hit a turkey's head harder at 20 steps. Every bone was broken in the head and first 3 vertebra. I brought my son back 3 days later and he dropped another gobbler in his tracks at 52 steps with my Benelli and the same shell. I was about to say "wait" when BOOM! I couldn't believe the range. My son is a Orthopedic surgeon. We skinned the head and found ample killing wounds from the skull to the neck/breast juncture. I got 3 of them 45 dollar shells left! ha.

[@zacherysmith3210]

Catman I love watching you hunt I’m in east tn you ever want to hunt some new ground come on

[@bkauffman0390]

If you ain't rolled one and not killed it you haven't turkey hunted much. Way to go! Great footage

[@tannerking4130]

Glad you got one, it’s been real tuff this year!!

[@delculbertson2369]

Congrats buddy! Way to be patient. I hope you aren't shooting TSS or the bird is one expensive piece of meat.🤣 Stay safe and keep the footage coming. Cubby

[@Scott-Witter]

Way to break the Ice!

[@johnblakewatson7083]

Love your videos.....but Always make them stick their heads up before the shot.

[@rtpickett]

Crazy amount of drumming. Great footage sir. May want to consider removing the plug in your gun though lol. Thanks for sharing!

[@danielmastin3606]

Awesome hunt, congratulations. Pretty wild having them that close.

[@mottmusic101]

I don’t remember seeing that high falootin scattergun, maybe you’re still learning how to use that thing 😅. I couldn’t see how that bird rode on your new leather strap hauler. Try and get someone to video that this season. Oops! Hope I didn’t just jinx you! 😉 Fun as always, a pleasure because you always ponder your weaknesses and try hard to overcome them. Piedmont and mountain birds are my favorite sub-sub species. I had good knees and ears when I was your age and had killed a few truck loads full of birds by then. Your woodsmanship is as good as mine was too. I’m still hunting, moving slower and hearing less but killing my share of the birds that no one has the patience to hunt. I usually hit the woods as most folks are leaving because I have the patience and time to kill the birds that most folks educate. I’m trying to kill a legal fall hen and use your video on how to make a wing bone yelper. I went to the Walter Parrot Graduate school of cutt-yelping (he killed two birds in front of me in the 80’s, he’s a many time national champion) and I now use my natural voice to call. However, the turkey hunter that I’m named after used to use a wingbone, and making one and killing another truckload of gobblers with it is on my bucket list. Stay tuned and keep up the nice work Young Man!

[@Toeknees_idle]

Nice hunt! I been shooting the same gun for the last 3 years, 870 super mag. Love it!

[@paulwylie989]

Real good analysis of that kill Catman. I hope you weren't shooting those 12-14$ shells. 😆 That's a good tip for starting out turkey hunters - wait until the head is up and looking to the side to maximize your target.

[@JacobSimpson]

Awesome! What mic do you use?

[@larrygolden167]

I shot one yesterday rolled him backwards he flopped around got on his feet and started running. My dang gun wouldn’t eject the shell and he finally took off flying. Made me sick first bird I had a chance at after a three year dry spell.

Glad you got him, will be picking shot out of the meat. Congrats.

[@OrionARS]

Congrats! I shot at and missed one a few years back (further than I thought) and he ended up flying straight to me and I shot him on the wing 😂

[@strydershadow391]

Nice bird Catman too bad he didn't present a better shot for you but great job getting him down.

[@caneholleroutdoors]

Congrats on the gobbler. I shot a gobbler one time and rolled him and he went to flopping and he jumped up and took off running down the holler lol I never did find that bird. I couldn’t believe it haha Great video

[@ericnelson3374]

I've had the same thing happen.
