WOODSMANSHIP WINS - PLAYING CHESS in the HARDWOODS | HUNT USING SCRATCHING, WIND, CROWS, and TIMING

Hunter Farrior is hunting turkeys down in Georgia, and this video provides a great deal of context for what he looks for, listens to, and waits on until he makes every move in a hard-gobbling battle of chess on top of this big ridge in the open hardwoods.
- when to use wind for repositioning
- finding TURKEYS with crows
- getting close to a turkey without being seen or heard
- scratching leaves instead of turkey calling
- the patience needed, while letting the gobbler play his next move
Woodsmanship is about 50% gut-feelings, which rely on past experiences and all that you've learned in the woods over the years. The other 50% is the execution of those intuitions. Good luck and sound cooperation blanket it all, but nowhere in the requisites are sound calling or decoys.
Even if your turkey calling skills are not great, just knowing wild turkey behavior and how to manage other factors, like wind and shadows, in your strategy is all you really need some mornings. This video is proof of it.

WHY NO CLOSED CAPTIONS DOES IT COST YOU SOMETHING?
