I Hunt Wild Turkeys with A Bow & Arrow!

[@VancityAnu]

This channel's content is really turning out great Jefe! Thanks for taking us on a ride along. Story wise, this has full arc from learning, training & all the way to enjoying the results of the skill - thats awesome to see!

[@davidbreaux5989]

Im really enjoying Jefes travels and adventures.

[@rockweeks5697]

Jefe this video brought back a lot of memories for me. I started bow hunting in 1973 with a recurve bow then in the mid eighties I went to a compound bow. In 1994 I went back to a recurve because I enjoyed shooting and hunting with a recurve over the compound bows. I shot a lot of 3D shoots over the years in Arizona and New Mexico. I was a member of a large Archery club in Tucson for twenty years so we had a lot of fun hunting and shooting archery tournaments. But I'm now almost 74 years old with more than a few physical challenges so I've had to hang up my bow and arrows. Your video was great and brought back a lot of good memories so I want to thank you for that and just keep doing what you are and I'll be watching all of them.

[@theresecrouch2924]

I love archery, I was very good as a kid...I'd love to try again..love your channel...

[@toddhillberry4948]

Hey Jefe. What a great, high-quality video. Beautiful scenery. The MORR editors did a excellent job editing. I am glad to see you enjoying retirement. Keep'em coming.

[@pleinairbarnettoutdoors]

Welcome to archery and bowhunting. Your 1st 3 minutes brings me back to almost 30 ago. Noble sport in my mind

[@luckyirvin]

Thanks, Jefe. I'm loving your site.

[@gregchewie3059]

JEFE' We are all so happy for YOU!!!

[@johnaeschlimann2612]

Jefe, this is great. Been watching Matt’s Off Road Recovery for quite awhile, but this is the kind of stuff that I love. Keep shooting that Bow, practice will make you better. Good Luck

[@stephenpoe2037]

How much fun for you and your friend ! Thanks for sharing !

[@landlocked4771]

That was a 12 on that turkey, and sharing your turkey with Matt and crew priceless. Thanks for the video

[@patrickjohnson4975]

Nice job showing the setup. There’s alot more to it than just shooting, definitely requires more skill

[@tylerringen8105]

I feel the same about trash. When I'm out in the wild I plan to take out more than I brought. It helps to keep areas open

[@AeroGuy07]

Wild turkey were reintroduced in SE Indiana in the early 80s and it was the 90s before their numbers were big enough to introduce a hunting season for them. All I know is the darn things could really get your adrenaline going when deer hunting. I'd hear a noise, and I could almost pinpoint where the deer was going to step into the clearing. And I'd wait, and wait. Then 20 turkeys would waddle out of the wood line.

[@gregcullen248]

Wow Jefe, great adventure, so fun. Thank you and Congratulations Tyler

[@jmjm6607]

Great job again.

[@muddypawsadventurer7775]

Outstanding. Well done on taking a turkey. Keep fine tuning your technique and getting your groups better. One of the things that I use to do is take my bow with me everywhere. I would have a few field arrows to donate to stump shooting. But, I would stop and get out of my truck and pick a target, pinecone, branch etc.. and shoot 1 arrow. That's called the money arrow. Getting use to shooting that way. I would also practice shooting only 5 arrows at any one time. I'm also a longbow hunter. no sights ... my outside range was 40 yards... so sneaking and peaking or waiting in ambush was my gig when hunting with a bow. Up close and personal...

[@Zt3v3]

A good attitude is contagious.

[@k9bob]

Outstanding adventure!!! I love your enthusiasm and your zest for life. Congrats on your successful turkey hunt!!!

[@918scott]

So nice to see you happy. Keep it up and share it with us.. many of us need to see good stuff like this especially with all the kids involved!

[@duanelawrence78]

Great video jefe you are a natural brother!!✌️🇺🇲

[@heidigilliam5081]

I thank You'll get better the more you do it .

[@stevemarschman3202]

286 ft/sec = 195mph. Don't know about you, but I'm impressed...

[@rogermccaslin5963]

I've never shot a turkey myself, but I have had it several times and I'll just say, I think they are better walking around than in the pot. I'll modify that a bit. I've eaten some sausage made with wild turkey and it was good, but I think being ground up with pork fat and loaded with spices was what made it better.

[@JefesAdventures]

It was definitely very tough meat.

[@swf1004]

I grew up in the Durango CO area, actually in Ignacio. I hunted all around the area, and I also went into the Bational Guard @ 17. Coming back to high school after was interesting to say yhe least. I spent 2 yeays in the Guard, then 10 years in the Regular Army. I got out after a fun filled tour in the sandbox called Desert Storm. I love your channel and am fascinated with the parallels.

[@Kevin-ti3rz]

Good afternoon Jefe you should invite Mike from Trailmater to join you on a hunt . He said in a Q&A that hunting and fishing is his out of recovery hobby.

[@Kevin-ti3rz]

That target 🎯 tournament looked like so much fun . I have shot arrows just a few times but that would keep my interest ✓

[@KarateSensei71]

It is great to have a buddy like Tyler to help you build arrows and improve your technique. I did not see your calculation on forward weighting, everything else was excellent. I usually tune to 10%, anything from 9 to 12% is good. For broadheads I usually go 12 to 15%. Your 32" draw is on the high side yet your anchor point looked OK. Relax your left hand some more and keep practicing!

[@NCFREEMAN]

Made my day seeing a new video notification on your channel! Keep those videos coming buddy!

[@samthompson1270]

Good job Jefe! Congrats on your first turkey and you even got to see some elk on your trip! Keep practicing with that bow and you'll be amazed at how good you'll get. You've got a great mentor in Tyler. He can get you where you want to be with that bow. And congrats Tyler on the win at the competition.

[@beaucephusdogs9049]

3D shoots are so much fun, did them years ago, met some awesome people, bow builders, etc. Still shooting my first bow, from 1988. Martin Lynx.

[@WilliamWallace-pj3eh]

It's awesome you made your own channel! I'm also a fellow veteran, thank you for your service. My lady and I have followed Matt's channel since the beginning. You have always been one of our favorites there. We are happy we can still follow you on your channel! Thank you again for serving our country and protecting our families.

[@nyquil762]

Congrats brother💯

[@keithplumley2054]

I absolutely love Durango, CO. I had the best shower of my life in Durango after riding the Silverton RR all day. We then spent the next week camping at Pergotory. To get to the camping area we drove through the parking lot to a dirt road on the backside of the lot, then several miles up to the top. this was in 1996 so maybe the camping area is gone. That would be sad because it was an incredible place to camp. Awesome vacation.

[@darrylqmiller]

Awesome video and the channel is coming along well. One more site to watch instead of crappy television shows! Keep it up Jefe!

[@perrythorvig6446]

Looking good, Jefe. Nice change of pace from doing recoveries.

[@patsgarage8593]

Nothing tastes better than a freshly hunted animal!! congrats and great shot!!

[@marvincarter870]

Jefe this is a good video with awesome content and scenery shots. Always nice to go bow hunting and to tournaments with a friend. Nice of you to share your first wild turkey you cooked with Matt's family and team.

[@overland.viking]

Great video!! Anytime you are going to cook something that is normally tough look into pressure cooking. You will be hooked once you try it.

[@paulhillar1833]

Love your channel Jefe! Love archery hunting, unfortunately I ripped my right pectoral muscle near my shoulder, and I can no longer draw my bow. 1994 Hoyt Heat model, shooting 317 fps! I miss it immensely! Now I've had a stroke recently and I can't even drive my 77 Bronco, somebody doesn't like me!

[@jordangibson6194]

So happy to see you in My Home state!!! can’t wait to see more! Keep up the good work and all the awesome videos!

[@MrJdubes]

The editing here is MOR quality for sure! Great stuff!

[@Karengarrett-qz1vv]

Doing well with the channel, Jefe. Keep up with the adventures. They are such fun to watch, Thank you.

[@cobyshumway]

I had no idea you were from Blanding. That's my home town too. 20 years ago my wife used to work at Clark's too. I was the San Juan County Fire Warden then moved to Saint George in 2006 to be the Washington County Fire Warden, then I moved to California and that's where I've been since. I go back to visit all the time, I was actually there when you went back for your Dad's service. We had our 20 year high school class reunion on the 4th. Sorry for your loss.

[@cobyshumway]

Also my wife and I were EMT's at the time, we remember your accident, we believe we both responded. And your old place on Mustang, I think my brother bought that from your Dad.

[@JefesAdventures]

That's awesome. What year did you graduate?

[@cobyshumway]

@@JefesAdventures oops 30 year, graduated in 1994.

[@kirbyjake4170]

Awesome video of your adventure. And thanks for taking us on it

[@Ring-a-ging]

Thanks for sharing these adventures. Well done Jefe!!

[@edwinschlee8374]

Good shooting on the course whether you made plus or minus it is all good practice and you got a turkey. So next goal is the elk!

[@jeffreysmith4304]

Great Job Really Enjoying the Channel Congrats on the Turkey and keep up the good work Practice Practice Practice

[@joiegates3623]

I live in Durango next to the Animas River. Fun watching you guys travel in my neck of the woods. Hope the area treated you all well. 😊 Stay Blessed ~ PS. Elevation gain is no joke..drink lots of water..you did great !!

[@CrazyCossack1]

Nicely done jefe

[@TheErvster]

Great video! I miss bow hunting.

[@Fluffy-42668]

I predict you will be very popular on KZbin before long. Very good job!

[@Trucktiger2468]

Kudos on Top 40% (ish) at the Competition and the Tom. I’m in the same predicament regarding my Bow hunting as an OTR driver. I’m lucky if I get to pull the string once a year.

[@lizzardwizard2000]

I must comment on the awesome video editing skills on this episode. Highly entertaining.

[@nikeholley]

Jefe... Very cool video... you're off to a great start..!!

[@skyepilotte11]

This was a great video, editing and progressive story line. Thx Jefe...nice work.

[@bulletproof1421]

This looks like so much fun! I'm going to look in my area for the same kind of thing. I'm having a blast watching the channel, nice work! I can't wait for the next one

[@dougbowser3171]

Way to go Jefe, I enjoyed your channel. Colorado is a great place to do anything.

[@shortshorts920]

I’m no hunter or archery shooter but your video definitely makes me wanna give it a try!

[@JefesAdventures]

Its very rewarding but a lot of work

[@ThomasLips]

Great video, Jefe!! I'm sitting here in my shop in SW Washington with a big grin on my face. Your enthusiasm is contagious!!! Thank you for your service to this country and my family 👍👍👍

[@Mstos90]

Love the video! Great job!

[@KrAsHtheKaRpEnTeR]

The way Tyler flips his wrist after every shot....... Is hilarious!!! Awesome episode Jefe!! Thanks for bringing me!! p.s. All love and respect brotha!!

[@rogermccaslin5963]

Yeah, when I first caught that I thought he hurt himself somehow but then he did it again and I figured it was just the way he released.

[@JefesAdventures]

He definitely knows what he's doing and it works for him.

[@KrAsHtheKaRpEnTeR]

@@JefesAdventures for sure!! I wish I knew half as much as he does about bows!

[@Thecherokee4x4]

Diggin' your new channel Jefe. Editing is spot on.

[@briannicholls2628]

Love Jefe's energy!

[@bradviola874]

Awesome is right!! You're knocking it out of the park, one arrow at a time!!!

[@Jukeboxkcnsd]

I'm gonna tell you you can make a really good video I really like your videos. I didn't know if I was going to like him, but I'd love them. Thank you, and keep up the hard work

[@JoBe8632]

Jefe, great content, great video! Keep em' coming.👍

[@carolschmidt2481]

Awesome video! Congratulations on your first turkey!

[@charlesowens9784]

Thanks for the video watching from Reno NV

[@teressarenslow5992]

Another great video! Thanks for bringing us along! I was not aware that they do this at Purgatory! (I live outside of Denver.) I find it awesome that you shared your spoils with Matt and crew!

[@rwadecarter9806]

Recurve stick bow for me. YMCA 25lb Long bows started me off. Fred Bear 45ib with dozen field tip cedar arrows from K-Mart was my first fancy one. Grew up on a gentlemen's farm. Always a stack of hay around. Damon Howat 62in 55ib. beautiful bow. I have (with practice) out shot Target bows, with all the balances etc. gave the compounds a run for their money in placement,,, maybe not distance. Open field shots have not been bad though, I prefer my stick bow. I feel it, all of it. The arrow, string, tension. timing. Compounds seem to hit me with too much mechanical in the way.

[@YusssoM]

That was so fun! I didn't know there's that kind of shooting bow tournament, I thought they only shoot at the range. Great job on your first tournament!

[@greygoose4x46]

You have an amazing ability to put out interesting content!! Really enjoying your channel man !

[@grinnerzakaminicide1201]

You should give Modern Traditional/Traditional/Stick bows a go too. Even more challenging but rewarding. Enjoy the Turkey!

[@jimepperson2075]

Really enjoyed this video. So glad to see you are doing what you have been wanting to do for a long time. Have fun be safe.

[@xelaxander]

Cool video. Love laid back style.

[@robingrussling7795]

I didn't know how I would like your channel. I have watched all of the video's. They are real good. I have enjoyed them. Keep them coming.

[@Derf1313]

Congrats! Fun & harvest all adventure. Grab a spray can of camp dry silicone waterproofing (or similar), keeps ya dry, but windproof too. If you're hunting with it, plan ahead so it can air out after treatment...

[@berniewilson9015]

Thanks for the enjoyable video of you excursion into the competition archery shoot. Congrats on bagging a turkey on your first ever turkey hunt! You da man!

[@justicefall1917]

I am really happy that I subscribed to this channel! Awesome content and a great guy!

Great adventure Jefe. I had the experience of working in an archery shop as a teen. Lots of 3d shoots. Great memories!!

[@shaolin224]

Wow that guy invested alot in Archery. I'd like to try bowfishing with a recurve

[@yellads]

Man you guys are living the life

[@Buster452]

Great job. Very engaging and good commentary. Please don't cook or eat in your tent. Makes the place you sleep smell tasty to bears and raccoons. I had a black bear walk through the side of a tent because a sandwich was eaten in it about two hours before it visited the campsite.

[@rogerlambert2662]

Congrats on the Turkey and keep up the good work Jefe.

[@flatwaterdave]

Great job at the tournament!

[@Studzilla-is-here]

Love ya man. I’ll subscribe and comment and thumbs up every video….im just not into the hunting animal stuff. It’s fine for other folks and I can just wait for your next video. Thanks again for your service.

[@bennyhaslonghair]

You should look into a Cobb BBQ, they are a field oven of sort, you can BBQ, Oven, Grill, Griddle, Rotisserie. Really cool outdoor cooker that is great for small numbers... not so much for catering for a family.

[@northwestoff-roadopportuni7176]

Congrats Jefe 🎉 and great content!!

Congratulations! Thank you for sharing and excellent video!

[@taraarcher4300]

I really like Tyler's trailer/ camper

[@keaganshepherd5078]

This is an awesome video. Haven't shot my bow four two years. Because of health issues. I think today might be the day.
