@@joshuaduzan3095 Yes, he was not hunting where he said he was. He was hunting on a spot that I had permission to be the 1st person to hunt this area in over 20 years. It belongs to a friend of mine since kindergarten. He shot this bird off North Mohawk Road in Western Greene county in East Tennessee. The guy that told him about this bird cuts small cedars from underneath fences, he clears fences out. My friend called me the day of the kill to taunt me that I waited too late and someone had shot it from my corn pile. I told him I was not going to hunt over all that corn. I have a $2,500 shotgun and did not want it taken by TWRA. He sent me the site and video on KZbin. I am a legal beagle, never did anything to get in trouble. The land owner, my friend was mad, but his neighbor showed him where to go he owned around 4 acres. The video showed him in a small set of woods which did not belong to him. Small dead cedars, old one and two strings of fence slightly descending, open field beside the small set of woods, and listen to a train coming by. I thought at 1st my friend was messing with me until I viewed the video. 100% my spot on top of 300 to 340 lbs. of corn. I did not hunt there because the corn had not all been eaten. I was leaving it alone because it was illegal to hunt there. I swear to almighty God himself.

LMFAO you could see the Life and the joy just slide right out of Dale’s Eyes the second the Land Owner/Camera man said he didn’t get the kill shot on Camera lol. Little did Dale know at the time, he didn’t get but maybe 10 seconds of footage the entire hunt of that bird lol. But to be fair to him, he isn’t a camera man, he’s a land owner that just had a camera thrown in his lap and told to film it, and he also Clearly told Dale he can’t get that Joker on camera maybe 7-8 second before Dale pulled the Trigger. So it won’t his fault whatsoever. Dale was tryin to act just fine, but you can tell he was fuckin PISSED that it won’t on film 😂😂😂😂😂he was just about to take his high five back when he heard “that damn tree was right in my way” “you didn’t,kill you didnt, get the, you didn’t , no film” stutterin he was so damn PISSED!!!then he tried to non chalantly say man I hate that we didn’t get it on film lol and had to edit out whatever else he was sayin at a few different places after he heard the kill won’t on camera 😂😂😂 Hey Dale, that for sure sucks that you couldn’t get the bird of the decade on film, it ain’t every day that you kill a 4+ year old bird, and the fact that you run a KZbin Channel, I feel your pain to just barely miss the killshot on camera but 2 things..... #1: I’d rather miss it with the camera than miss it with the 12 gauge 😜🤣 and also #2: id rather the feller filmin do exactly what he did in that situation and just clearly tell you hey man I can’t see him, I reckon in the heat of the moment it either didn’t register in your mind what he said at the time, or you just flat out didn’t hear him. With that bein said, I’d rather the feller filmin just say that he ain’t on camera yet and hold up on the shot if possible, instead of him movin around and making a racket in the brush and leaves tryin his damndest to get the shot on film, and potentially give yalls position away and flush that bird. Specially that old smart clever bird, if they feller had moved a damn muscle to try and film it, just think would you be more pissed to have it on film but not have a bird in the bed of your truck, or would you rather have that Spectacular bird on the way to the Taxidermist and not exactly have the perfect killshot on film?

Wow! What a tremendous gobbler! What Dale says about coming back to known spots is 110% correct. By far the majority of turkeys I’ve killed over the years have been after 8-10am, very often from spots where I knew they liked to hang out. This tactic works equally well on those mornings when they roosted close but fly down and go somewhere else or when they aren’t actually nearby first thing. If you know they’re around, chances are they’ll come through eventually.

Why ain’t you just point over to where you wanted them decoys instead of throwin and jerkin your hands all over the place?? Confusin the hell outta your huntin partner as to where you actually wanted them placed, and 2 drawin attention to yalls treeline, I know I ain’t gotta tell you, me and you both been chasing Strutters for over 20 years, but for the benefit of all your other viewers/fellers in the comments section, a keen bird can easily pick that motion/movement out quicker than you can say “we’re busted” 😂😂 congrats on that quality strutter man that’s a once in a decade bird for most fellers besides them guys huntin farm birds that live in the corn plots all day, fly up in a pecan orchard, eat nuts and bugs out the tree all evenin/mornin, fly right down to either the corn field or the pecan orchard literally everyday. Ain’t gotta move more than a half mile a day, suckers just gettin plump 😂 I’m currently at 27 states on my super slam, praying to finish this season at 29 states 🙏🏼😳😳 I reckon I’ve done told you in another Vidja, but God Willin the plan is to finish my Super Slam before I Turn 30. Hell the Pace I’m not now I’ll be finished by the End of the 2023 season, which will have me done at the age of 29. For those of you Viewers that Don’t know/are new at Turkey huntin, the “Super Slam” is to kill a Spring LongBeard in all 49 states of the continental United States and Hawaii. The only States that Turkeys aren’t native in surprisingly is Alaska. But yea anyhow The rest of this Spring im goin to finish off the east Coast/NorthEast. Next Spring is goin to be my West Coast/Hawaii/South West hunts. As of Today I have killed in 27 states, got 3 more states planned the rest of this season, hopefully will kill in atleast 2 of them states, so I reckon I’m on a pretty good pace. congrats on a heck of a bird Dale, you ought to consider gettin that sucker mounted. There’s a Younger Feller in West Virginia that I’ve got my Biggest Eastern to Date, my first Rio, my first Merriam’s, my first Osceola, and My Gould’s Gobbler that I was blessed by the grace of God to kill in Arizona, that feller Mounted all of em for me and I won’t go to anyone else for mountin Birds. He is one of the best in the country, he’s got fair prices, takes his time but has em back to you fairly quick, and overall is just a great guy to work with. I can email you his information if need be. But anyhow, because I Killed that Gould’s in Arizona, I’ll be beyond blessed once I finish my Super Slam, I’ll not only be in the Very Small Super Slam Club, but I’ll also at the same time be in the EVEN SMALLER Royal Slam Club (must kill 1 of every 4 subspecies in the US, finish the Super Slam, and also kill a Gould’s Turkey, which is mainly a bird found in Mexico, but you can also find em in Arizona, New Mexico, and southwest Texas)

One was 10.5” and the other 7 1/4”. I have it in game camera with several photos of it. I also shot a tripple bearder back in the 90’s all with half inch or more space between the beards. The beards again were all different lengths. Your beard is one big thick beard that is spread out and probably looks to you like it’s two. You can see right in your video it’s one thick beard. That’s why it’s all the same length. You’ll be able to tell pretty easily when the feathers are pulled back. Guarantee it’s beard is all connected together. Still a trophy bird! Great job!

Congratulations. And thanks for all the great lessons. My first time out was day one up here where I am. I got out later than I wanted to. But the second I got out of my car there was a loud heavy gobbler gobbling like mad. I walked in some and he had jumped the roost and gobbled off away from me about a hundred yards. Me being a newbie I didn't think to try and call him back. My thinking that he knew if he had just left that area there wasn't anything there. But I wish I would have tried. Should I have? I went out much earlier two days later set up early and called as the light was coming up good. But I heard nothing. One very faint gobble I think I may have heard a ways off but I can't be sure. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm thinking of going to an entirely different plot a few counties over. Should I keep trying that same first area? Once again much appreciated for your videos. From Dan

Love your vids Matt my name is Matt to lol and I’ve been wondering what to do when a gobbler is coming, and gobbling and they come in and you see him and he makes a circle around you calling and he keeps going?

Past Jake spurs, Spur length and or beard length have little to do with age. I've killed huge birds with short spurs in rocky terrain and young turkeys with long spurs in field areas. And visa versa!
