Spring Turkey Hunting in Wisconsin | S1E02 | On the Hunt

Janis heads to his family’s place in search of spring gobblers with his good friend and hunting mentor Jimmy Miller. The warmer temperatures make calling in turkeys difficult, but Janis and Jimmy adjust their strategy and are able to get a couple of Jakes and Toms back to the cooler.

Doug dropping by without a word was such a great touch

[@danc6402]

I came here to say that.

[@crangs8142]

The Doug cameo had my laughing

[@joeyhunt5512]

The white towel like a waiter got me lol.

[@kevinkelly8444]

Nailed it man. The waiter's towel sent me over the top. Hilarious

[@tolaxu]

Doug should wear his sombrero hat.

[@andrewc7343]

Doug just slipping in and out like a waiter with that milk and his towel 😂 That was a great episode overall 👍🏻

[@ThePjpulvermacher]

i came here to say this exact thing lmao

[@jtb9544]

I third that!

[@thomaslinton6446]

Epic!

[@chrischoiniere1406]

Doug had me howling. What a guy!

[@austinatchison3716]

5 turkeys shot and somehow Doug’s 3 second cameo is the best part. You are an under utilized member of the meat eater crew Doug!

[@richardlong9877]

Jimmy has a great voice. Would be a great narrator.

[@wesleyrieck4624]

That tile story was great- one of the best gifts you can give someone is the ability to pursue their true calling.

[@nd4463]

Doug D always makes me wish I lived in Wisconsin. Just a humble generous man. Great show Meateater!!!!

[@reillyflaherty9234]

It's a great state. Come visit

[@madbaroncalls]

I like your friends bow and his Compton Traditional Bowhunters hat!

[@joshhubbard]

“Working me over a bit” right after my man sprints out into that field after his bird like he’s Usain bolt lol…. This friendship was great to see! Loved it.

[@Kevin-hl9vo]

Jimmy's the man. Glad he had the bow to show, very nice!

[@agkoh]

The Doug appearance was great.

[@abasin08]

Doug serving up the milk, was awesome, great work guys!

[@TMP1016]

That is about as genuine as it gets. What a true friendship built over many years and only getting stronger. The story is always bigger than the kill. MeatEater always gets it right.

[@adrock1978]

Cracking up over Doug's silent cameo 😆

[@MetalBuddhaHead]

Man Meateater just keeps getting better and better! Thank you for the quality content! 🤘✌️😎👽

[@danmcguire60]

The dedication at the end to Sally Miller is covered up by the suggested next video. I'd love to see what the full dedication says! Always such a good time to get back out with great mentors!

Don’t forget to tip your server/land manager

[@marshallbarr4024]

good episode. Not much video of the turkeys or the kill shots and you can't see the quote at the end but cool video.

[@Flesh4Toast]

The quote at the end was a dedication to Sally Ann Miller, Jim's wife and my Mother who passed suddenly this May 1st. "A lover of elk meat, who packed out more than her share. Thanks for the memories." ~ Jim Should be visible now

[@dragonrider712]

I pity the hunter who wouldn't want to take the time to cook up a pie like that.

[@brandonhilliker5092]

Doug the waiter is great lol

Anyone make out that recipe? Looks good! Nevermind he covered it pretty good!

[@darkwandervids6717]

How do you like your First Lite gear? Been thinking of getting higher end clothing and torn between brands.

[@xXKrisKringleXx]

Great for the rain, and sleet, but not warm enough for sitting around

Doug! Haha

[@josephacker5716]

When is a good week of April or may to go for turkey?

[@natebooster5596]

Waiter Doug for the win!

I heard them say in the beginning they have two tags. How was he able to shoot 3 birds?

Bucket list hunt turkey's

[@jeffwhalen9279]

I hope you tipped the waiter. lol.

[@shephusted2714]

wild turkey with my old grandad...i like how randy hunts coyotes - why not double down? you probably have some coyotes come in at some point anyways - or bobcats/mountain lions/bears #across the lake #243 #dinner

[@hy42]

What is that “Boss Bird” song he’s referencing? I can’t find it anywhere!

[@Flesh4Toast]

It's his own song not a reference

[@SouthDetroitFishing]

Doug lmao!

[@whiteturkeyhunter]

Doug, did you let them sniff the udder before serving those fine drinks?

[@houndinjb]

How do I get one of those sweet costume long bows!!!

[@TJLANG321]

damn HOW MANY CAN YOU shoot !!

[@GabrielCoxYouTube]

Doug lol >

[@amorton94]

It sure does make more sense to hunt turkey in other states. It's my first year hunting them here in CO and it ain't easy. There just isn't a large number of birds here, and with that you're allowed one bird.

Can this man please narrate a book

Wish he would of hunted with that self bow that would of been awesome! ✅

The amount of effort I’ve put in this season in SE Nebraska is unreal. I’ve been just absolutely unlucky. Cannot get one in archery range.

[@calebwright5721]

Steve rinella makes this show great and is a awesome outdoorsman idk why he’s not on here much more but he needs his own show!

[@SteelheadTed]

He has his own show, it’s called Meateater. You may have heard about it. On Netflix.

[@samuelmoore5160]

This is Jani's series. Steve has 10 years of his TV show. The MeatEater outlet is expanding it's offerings to grab those that Steve doesn't appeal to while still maintaining their ethics. For me, Steve ranks behind Clay, Jani, and Cal, and I appreciate that MeatEater realizes their individual appeal and value.

I can't even get one lol
