OPENING DAY IN ALABAMA! - Public Land Spring Turkey Hunting

[@dingshoover]

The Hunting Public changed my life. I am 63 years old. I retired 3 years ago. I learned to use OnX and a Tehrd tree Saddle by watching your videos. I started hunting Maryland and Pennsylvania public land using a combination of personal experience and to a greater extent, your instructional content. I tagged two spring gobblers last spring in PA, Three nice buck in MD and one in PA last fall plus several doe in each state. I credit your videos and owe you all a debt of gratitude. My family, myself, and a few neighbors are so glad to have freezers full of meat during this virus time. I started spring gobbler hunting 3 years ago when I retired and had no idea how to start, but I was retired and always promised myself to start when I had time. I killed 5 gobblers in three years using your techniques. I can't thank you enough. Stay safe, good luck, and have fun.

[@-lovefromnh]

Congratulations! Keep hunting and enjoy your retirement!! I hope to be doing the same when I retire.

Stan14 yeah buddy 👍👍👍👍🦃🦃🦃🦃

[@jonclark9757]

Uh oh, another individual addicted to spring turkey hunting. Be careful Stan14, you'll wanna get a GRAND SLAM now.....good luck on your adventures. BTW, am 63 myself, walked 3 miles this morning to kill a bird at 0705 hours. Same spot I walked 5 miles (in a circle) to kill another bird around 4:00pm yesterday afternoon. Yep, it's THAT addictive. California is the state I am hunting....

[@-lovefromnh]

@@jonclark9757 congrats on two birds! I just got done sighting in my gun.

[@jonclark9757]

@@-lovefromnh Thanks, Adam.....made up for yesterday morning. Hit a partial albino on an ambush hunt, got up and flew away. Took me an hour to regroup, just press on is the best course of action. Was at 41 paces, my 12 gauge 3 1/2" Nova has killed a few stone dead at that range. Hens 10 yards away, terrain forced them close to my location. He was strutting alongside with them, but starting going in another direction in full strut. Ima try for him on Thursday.....

[@wartdawg4656]

Zack w/no hat, looking like an early Ted Nugent... putting the "Stranglehold" on ole long bird! Nice!

[@delculbertson2369]

I thought the same thing when he flipped his hair back after the kill! Lol First concert I saw was Ted Nugent, November 7th, 1978. Way back before these guys were born. Lol Damn that makes me feel really old!

[@adamparsons1725]

Ok, I can see that! Now IF he had been in Buck Skins, I would say Daniel Day Lewis in Last Of The Mohicans. If in a suit, maybe Micheal Bolton? 😁

[@nathancovington544]

*fixed* Zach with no hat lookin like an early Sarah Jessica Parker.

[@racerdaveracerdave]

Zach, I really appreciate your willingness and intuition on where and when to make adjustments to your setup. I think it's something that sets you apart, as witnessed from your deer and turkey successes. And major props to the camera folks for capturing how it went down. Very instructive.

[@publiclandacademy545]

I like Mike and the woodhaven crew. I jumped on board with them after seeing the operation in 2017 turkey tour. I appreciate old school hand crafted operations. The calls really are worth it too. 2 birds in 2 years running the ninja hammer. Thanks woodhaven and THP

[@richarddean3154]

Quite a bit of low-crawling to get that bird. Gave me all manner of flashbacks to my days in the Army. Well done and congratulations.

[@emersoncampbell9778]

That .20 did the job for sure. Very nice Alabama Tom and text book hunt. It don’t get much better that Alabama woods in the spring.

[@InTheYear]

Lived in Alaska for six months sleeping in a tent about 20 miles from Eagle River and driving in Anchorage M-F or S to work.. bathed in a creek every couple days. Epic times and will never forget that short time and adventures. You guys ain’t much younger than me but boy do you boys know how to live.

[@leviheilman7918]

Jim Ryser is one funky duck! That closing song is killer! Good work boys!

[@dustywagoner4375]

Hats off to Keith behind the camera great job.

[@outdooroverdose322]

Literally nothing better than hearing turkeys gobble in the early morning, the adrenaline is something people will never experience, got my first turkey last season and man it was one of my best days of my life I have the whole hunt on my channel if anyone would like to check it out. I wish everyone good luck in the turkey woods and stay safe!

[@roughcountryoutdoors4486]

Congratulations Zach on a nice bird

[@fulldrawfanatic]

Congrats guys. We still have snow on the ground in WI so it’s nice to see better weather and an awesome turkey hunt. Thank you.

[@rheins989]

By far the BEST hunting show ever, thanks for sticking to your guns!

[@Intimidator82]

Nice shot! Put the old sneak on a silent bird, taught him a valuable lesson. Looking forward to the upcoming videos. Stay safe THP

[@bobbygreen2291]

Congratulations Zach ,,,we don’t get too many with sharp spurs

[@brendenwesterfeldt95]

When hunting from the ground during the deer tour, wish you would do the deer perspective of the shot too! That's always helpful!

[@TheHuntingPublic]

We will keep it in mind!

[@phillipschillaci7372]

Congrats Zach! Keep it going! I love to see turkey hunting success, especially in a time like this.

[@moosejcthunter5686]

Was worth the wait. Great video. Stay safe boys!

[@Rooster2628]

I love the Alabama hunts with THP & Catman, especially when they team up.

[@genemarciniak3261]

Congrats Zach. Your turn Keith! Good hunting Gentlemen. Be safe.

[@delculbertson2369]

Great hunt! Zach is the master of the stalk! Whether it be deer, hogs, or turkeys, he will put the "sneaky snake" moves on the prey! Congrats and I hope you have continued success this season. Hunt safe and travel safe! Cubby

[@JimBowSlice]

I knew it was gonna be a wild one, definitely wasnt prepared for zach bring his whitetail tactics to the turkey woods. 👊

[@nickpetraska9200]

Excellent hunt! Nice job keeping control of the calling. Woodsmanship all the way. Stay safe and healthy boy's!!

[@chrisl2872]

I thoroughly enjoy this channel!! In my opinion this is the best hunting show on the tube!! I really like how you show the shot from the Turkey's point of view...helps me pick a better set up, with more cover and shade!! Awesome content fellas!!

[@henley_hunts9504]

[@hunterlilly617]

Love the turkey tour good luck🦃🦃🦃

[@andrewmorrissette5133]

Hey fellas, Georgia Hunter here - I know y’all mentioned at the beginning of the video about camp grounds closing, and I have seen a few of the more popular ones are closed down here, but there are definitely still some open. I had no problem grabbing a camp site up in the Chattahoochee NF for opening weekend here. DNR here has been sending out emails and such that all WMA’s are still open, so good luck to y’all if you do come to Georgia soon! What region do y’all hunt here? (Coastal plain, mountains, Piedmont?)

[@codysmith9975]

Great hunt fellas. Wish there was more of yas out there to help get past this pandemic mess going on to pass the time. Hope all you and your families are well

[@danielmastin3606]

Congratulations, Nice Tom. Can't wait for the next one!

[@michaelhawk6854]

Can’t wait. Exactly 3 weeks till opener here in West By God Virginia. Nothin like a lil hunting public to end the evening

[@TheHuntingPublic]

Good luck!

[@danmerck7613]

Jumping right into things. Not wasting any time. Congrats👍

[@rolltide1912]

Heck yea y’all! Get after it boys. Congrats! Y’all are doing way better than me...I think I’ve been around half a dozen times and have heard 2 gobbles. They ain’t wantin’ to play right but I’m hoping they will come around eventually. Good luck to y’all. And remember...sanitize and hand wash!

[@curtisj.pacejr.579]

[@anthonyrozakos5958]

Got my first bird this weekend loved every bit of the hunt. Great video

[@Riley_Welch]

So I guess everyone here like longbirds

[@ThumbsMcThumb]

Not everyone apparently. According to the likes/dislikes, there are a total of 17 people at this moment who hate turkeys. I say hate "turkeys" because you can't really hate THP guys, can you? But I say, keep this content coming, the majority of us love it!

[@jonh.5630]

Thumbs McGee All the dislikes are from the hunters that they have killed a bird off of. Lol😂

[@jonclark9757]

Hey, fellas.....LOVE your show..... bet you know this.....Nebraska shut down permits for turkey hunting. My friend in Alabama just told me. Alotta OTHER states to kill a bird, looking forward to watching every episode.

[@dublelung1]

Another great hunt! That's how to get it done, congratulations!

[@stevehollar8383]

Zach you need to check out the aero press coffee maker. Easy, quick, and compact for camping

[@allstaralex0776]

Congrats on 200k guys!!! I’ve been watching you all for a long time and the content is GREAT!!! Keep up the great work!

[@dr_geraldm2115]

[@davidking6663]

[@K4kashiSensei]

[@londynarnold9040]
