    First year turkey hunting opening day heard a gobble about 300 yards away and I literally took off at a dead sprint to this bird I turned into an Olympian and cleared a downed tree like a hurdle. I did not kill the bird

    A few tips for you, if you can’t tell it’s a person behind a decoy while someone is reaping, and you are in shotgun or bow range, you’re the problem. Not them. Also, if you think 3.5” TSS isn’t plumb deadly at 70 yards, you’re also dead wrong there. I don’t do either personally because we have enough birds where I live I don’t need to. However, I get so sick of people knocking how others want to hunt. Everyone’s on the same team unless you’re riding with Biden and if you are, in that case, carry onward.

    I have been hunting turkeys for over 10 years. I was set up with my decoy in the field and I was back in the woods. A turkey gobbled multiple times a long ways away on another property and forty-five minutes later after being totally silent to various calls, he came in behind me and gobbled. I don't know how far away he was when he did so but I think based on how loud he was, he was extremely close (talking within feet) I moved in response and he was gone. (Not sure if he would have walked by me or not but I have had that happen, too (

    This was me this morning. About 45° this morning in eastern nc. Set up on the ridge over looking a finger creek. Started gobbling behind me about 0830, thought he was moving off with some hens I saw, so I Got impatient. Rounded a thicket and 70 yards to my right all I saw was a white blur. Rookie mistake

  • @hunterdude113
    @hunterdude113 Před 3 měsíci

    Most of my birds have been killed with a 30 year old ithica 12 gauge with a built in modified choke, a pot call that’s been sanded one too many times, and a pair of foam decoys i bought from the local sporting goods mini storw for five bucks a piece. It’s all about the method.

    Worst mistake, first year turkey hunting in 2019. Heard a gobbler on the roost and decided i was gonna get in his bubble, got set up to where i thought was about 60 yards from this turkey. Well when he gobbled again i jumped out of my skin because he was 20 yards away in a tree, needless to say he wasnt there much longer after my soul left my body. Lesson learned, that gobbler could be facing away from you when he gobbles and end up being MUCH closer than expected.

    Went on my first turkey yesterday and you described perfectly what happened to me, I honestly couldn't wrap my head around what I did wrong. Thanks for the knowledge!
    If they gobble like that and I head in the opposite direction but keep calling but they shut up, should I keep calling so they know where I'm at or should I shut off?

    • @InformedOutdoors
      @InformedOutdoors  Před rokem

      I would but spread out like 20 minutes between calls. He most likely is just being silent.

  • @dadeo8957
    @dadeo8957 Před rokem +2

    Gobblers can cover more territory, faster than you realize. By not having my gun up with safety off. Thinking I had a bird 50-60 yards out from me has cost me more times than I care to admit.

    • @InformedOutdoors
      @InformedOutdoors  Před rokem +1

      Good point! Sometimes they work in slowly, others it’s a dead sprint.

    • @chiya2006
      @chiya2006 Před rokem

      Hahaha. That was me the past season. The mid morning Gobbler answered me over 250 yards. I wasn’t prepared, not faced his direction, safety on, everything wrong to miss that Big Bird. Little I knew, turned around he was on top of me. I had little to no time to react. Behind the ground blind, I waved my shotgun towards where he was, he noticed me and went behind the tree trying to take off, on his way out I was only able to see his head, took a panic shot and he flew away. He could’ve been in my game bag if I was, “faced his direction, gun ready to bang, safety off and everything in reverse of what I did.
      I’m not a new Turkey hunter. I got one 2 years ago with exact same scenario, but I was all ready that time . We keep learning

  • @Creedbunman65
    @Creedbunman65 Před 3 měsíci

    Don't over call. That's why I only use slates and a box. Because it makes me not be able o call constantly when he gets close. It's hard to hold your gun on your knee and call with a slate at the same time...Also just because you had one gobbling and just like it happened to me a couple days ago, I was within 100 yards of him off the roost and he drifted away gobbling, doesn't mean you did anything wrong. I shut up and gave him 15 minutes of silence and he went silent so I backed out and tried another angle. But with him on the river, there's only so many ways you can go. so after another 30 minutes I left. There's nothing wrong with backing out and giving up. You can't kill him unless he comes to you, but you can bumble your way around and bugger it up. Back out and try another one, or another day.

    • @InformedOutdoors
      @InformedOutdoors  Před rokem

      Maybe someone with a lot of experience in steep terrain will chime in, but I think that’s where those flat spots become even more important. Even if it’s just a small area with slightly less grade that other areas it could be enough for the toms to want to strut there.
