Thanks for watching guys! Check the description for other turkey basic essentials, and good luck this spring 👊

[@davidlundey7292]

I’ve watched countless videos from major hunting personalities/channels. You managed to boil everything down to a 15 minute video of phenomenal knowledge. Everything that was grey to me makes so much sense now! Thanks, and keep up the good work!

[@manvsdeer]

Thanks for watching! I am lucky enough to be friends with a lot of turkey hunters better than myself 🤘

[@Ilovechocolatelabs]

I second that very helpful video even a year later 🦃

[@TheLgcookie10]

Very informative! I got cocky killing a bird in each of my first 2 seasons and I realized very quickly my scouting is subpar! This video helps a lot.

[@manvsdeer]

Thanks for watching! I’ve been lazy this year and need to go do some scouting myself 😂

[@chrishugs6173]

This is probably the best video I have seen on scouting for Turkeys.

[@manvsdeer]

Thanks for the kinds words and good luck this season 🤘

[@wthomas1690]

Great info on scouting turkeys. Thanks!

[@manvsdeer]

Very welcome hope it helps!

[@michaelgraves8370]

So will they often roost in the same tree?

[@manvsdeer]

Not sure about the same tree but they will roost in the same area for sure

[@DanielPhillips86VA]

I’m new to turkey hunting and this is one of the best videos I’ve seen!

[@manvsdeer]

Thanks brother be sure to check out some of the turkey hunts they are packed with info as well

[@ec9697]

Very good tutorial..I’ve been hunting turkeys 28yrs..80% of the toms were NOT over water..maybe it was just how things were in the area that became gold standard

[@manvsdeer]

Could be, with wild animals nothing can ever be certain and that’s what makes it fun!

[@mikedixon17]

Got the same hat great video alot of information in a short period of time thanks great video

[@manvsdeer]

Hope you have a great season and thanks for watching!

[@dancoleman8467]

This was so helpful. I'm recently retired (Dec 2022), been interested in turkey hunting my whole life, but have never had time - until now. That said, I am a 67 yr old novice. Sure would like to talk and learn all I can. How can I get in touch? Blessings!!

[@manvsdeer]

Easiest way is to ask them questions on here! Good luck this season 🤘

[@naphtali1237]

Really appreciate your help... I hunt public and am looking forward to using the info. Thanks man

[@manvsdeer]

Thanks for watching and good luck this spring🤘

[@dhebard1]

Thank you brother!

[@reywalker5951]

Thank you for taking the time to share this information with us! Looking to go turkey hunting for the first time on public land in the spring!

[@manvsdeer]

Do it and keep after it, you’ll get hooked!

[@landonhagwood6165]

Great video! Weird question, what owl call were you using at the beginning of the video. Thanks

[@manvsdeer]

It’s an old cheap primos call, not sure on the exact model I’ve had it so long 😂

[@travelingfella1]

Wanted to say thanks for posting this video. Going this spring as a first timer and your videos are very informative.

[@manvsdeer]

Thanks for the kind words and good luck out there 🤘

[@dewaynenunley569]

Thank you for making such an informative video on turkeys, I’m new to turkey hunting and was starting to think that these turkeys have a circle or pattern that they travel every day, I’m subscribing great channel buddy.

[@manvsdeer]

Thanks for watching! Hope you smack a big one!

[@briancarroll8382]

A little late to the channel but great information. Thanks

[@manvsdeer]

Thanks for watching! Always good to prep for next season

[@Ryan_Kimball]

Very good video!

[@manvsdeer]

Thank you sir!

I'm out here in western montana and have found tons of wild turkeys not far from where I live, the problem is that 99% of the areas that I've seen the turkeys are on private land (cow pastures and feilds). Above the areas I've seen turkeys is national forest. I guess what I'm asking is how much does elevation affect the turkeys. Would I have a decent chance if I got to the national forest above these fields and hunted there?

[@manvsdeer]

I would think that after the initial fly down and strutting that they would work back into the timber and especially at night when the go to roost

[@brett9382]

@@manvsdeer awesome. Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully I'll get a nice gobbler this upcoming spring season.

[@houndsong]

How many visits do you usually need to make?

[@manvsdeer]

Depends on the area and what’s around. If I find birds sometimes once is enough if it’s a quiet morning or a big area I may go back several times

[@robgrubb420]

that side of the head camera angle was gorilla.
