1700's Turkey Hunting Techniques

- Turkey Hunting in the 18th century was a bit different then it is today. Without game laws, the killing of wild turkeys was only limited by the type of weapon and the imagination.
For me, the best part is calling them.
From my research, I have found two types of calls that were around in the 18th century; the wingbone call and the human voice mimicking turkey sounds. In this video I demonstrate them both.
And if you are looking for something to do with all of those turkey feathers, you can check out a turkey feather blanket (or mantle) and listen to a description from James Adair about it.
Lastly, stay safe this turkey season. Hunting accidents are all too common and certainly not new. I relay a turkey hunting accident story from 1760 towards the end of the video.

Great video, thank you for sharing. Love how you tie history in with today.
Just started watching, great work.
Thanks for the support.
Unfortunately my 6x gg Uncle Joseph Dickerson who fought with my 6x ggf Thomas D. didnt take large enough TREE when they were fighting at Freemans Farm Sept. 19 1777@ Saratoga as riflemen with Daniel Morgan . In the Draper manuscripts it is recorded that he was killed while hiding behind a small sapling.
Awesome!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video, reminds me i need to break out my wingbone call and practice! I'm finishing up a green hunting shirt made like the soldiers of the 1st continental wore, not going to get more camouflage than that
Very good presentation.
Thank you
Great video I'm interested in where you got your hunting frock
Outstanding as Usual. Looking so forward to Turkey season this year.!!!!!!!!!

Hey Brother!! Great video man. You got a new sub here! Regarding making turkey feather clothing you said, "Don't know if I'll be able to....Don't know if I have the talent...." PFITTT...... Whatever man!!!! You definitely have the talent bro!!! Keep up the great vids, take care and be safe. 👍

Looking forward to our Kentucky opener in a couple weeks. I’ll be hunting in period clothing, with my 16 bore fowling piece, and a homemade wingbone call. Good times!
