  • In this video we cover Turkey hunting tips for hunting henned up toms. What's a turkey hunter's worst nightmare? A tom who won't leave his hens! The tips and tricks in this "How to" video will walk you through a hunt where we get a big tom in the range of Phil's Winchester with Undertaker Turkey Choke. We yelp, cut, purr, and cluck to these birds before finally getting a hen fired up enough to bring the flock in. This was one of the most exciting hunts we have had where we have turkeys at close range for a long time to get this gobbler in gun range.

      +C Michael haha it was really intense to watch it happen! Every cluck I was worried I would mess up and they would bolt! Thanks for the comment!

    Just hunted the last two days and had this exact situation with about 5 hens and 2 monster Tom's. Couldn't get the Tom's off the hens and now I know what I did wrong. Great video guys!

    I'm not going to lie. I thought I was watching my hunt! The only difference is that I was in a blind. I was hunting a spot where the locals said I was wasting my hunting time. Set up after we regrouped around 11 and by 12:30 I called a flock in by mocking the lead hen. You did a great job calling !

    Hey guys, I really enjoy your video channel. Was hoping you might be able to do a video about the gear you guys wear for hunting. I've noticed you have quite a large amount of hunting gear and rubber boots. Would be interesting to see a review video on it all. Keep the videos coming!

    • @WeekendWoodsmen
      @WeekendWoodsmen  Před 8 lety

      +Mountainview Ranch thanks for the comment, and we are glad you like the channel! We have been discussing doing review videos for a while and just haven't made it happen but we can certainly start doing that!

    Great great video. I am having this problem tight now in Pennsylvania. Been on the same gobler all week. Haven't been able to get down far enough to catch him off the roost and he always hangs up on me about 100 yards out. I am going to take this technique tomorrow and try to bag one. I'll let you know the outcome 👍

    Great video! I'm taking a guy turkey hunting for his first time this weekend, hard to describe what it's like to sit still with a big flock coming in! going to show this to him before we go out! also, have you experienced any turkeys spook with that shiny go pro on your head?

    • @WeekendWoodsmen
      @WeekendWoodsmen  Před 8 lety +1

      +Tyler Braschler thanks for the comment and for watching! You are right there isn't anything like the experience of turkey hunting! We love it! Although we hadn't had an issue with the turkeys spooking from the GoPro we have since used camo duct tape to cover the case and also bought a blackout case to reduce our chances of getting pegged!

  • @alan350z8
    @alan350z8 Před 8 lety +1

    Awesome video! where I hunt in Alabama, they're so henned up, I only hear a few gobbles in the morning and that's it. hopefully the flock will brake up soon! what mouth call where you using? it sounds awesome!

    • @WeekendWoodsmen
      @WeekendWoodsmen  Před 8 lety

      +tall pine outdoors Thanks for the comment! We deal with the same thing a lot so we figured others would enjoy a video like this! We are hoping the warmer winter and spring we had here in Ohio (although it is snowing today) will get them broke up sooner this year! The mouth call was a HS strut and was either a power V or split v III. They are good calls and always can get a 3 or 4 pack for pretty cheap!

    cannot do step 1. The woods in North Florida (and for all of Florida for that matter) are waaaaaay too thick to see anything roosted in the trees. We don't have a big "leaf drop" during the Fall and Winter

    • @WeekendWoodsmen
      @WeekendWoodsmen  Před 5 lety

      It’s not about seeing the birds to locate the roosting area it is about hearing them. 75% of the time when we are scouting we are not getting close enough to see the birds. You should be able to do that no matter where you are.

  • @AnglerOutdoors
    @AnglerOutdoors Před 7 lety

    Very surprised those hens didn't spook. First time I have seen a hen respond like that!

    • @WeekendWoodsmen
      @WeekendWoodsmen  Před 7 lety

      +Angler Outdoors yes it is always tricky when they are in that tight! It was pretty cool!

    Why didnt he have his up and ready before they got right up on you?

    • @WeekendWoodsmen
      @WeekendWoodsmen  Před 7 lety +1

      +Jason Shook caught in the moment I guess! He had it up on his knee but just forgot to get it all the way up before they got tight.

    • @jasonshook7797
      @jasonshook7797 Před 7 lety +1

      Weekend Woodsmen I'm sure we've all been there a time or 2 if we've been at it long enough

    • @WeekendWoodsmen
      @WeekendWoodsmen  Před 7 lety +2

      +Jason Shook it is easy to do! For deer hunting especially I have started an exercise of mental scenarios where I think about all the possible scenarios I can be put in and what I am going to do in each before it happens. I have found that to really help in preventing mental mistakes! Also helps burn time on stand!

      Jake is the button buck of turkeys. It is a male bird that is less than 1 year old.
