I live in nc… I’m trying to find out if I can hunt coyotes on gameland when nothing else is in season

Why is it only ten days.

I've made just about every mistake a turkey Hunter could make over the years, the only difference is now I still make mistakes but just not as much as before but none the less I make my share of mistakes messing with these Keen eyed critters and that's the whole point of doing it.

Hey man I can't disagree more about not catching more big fish in one area

New subscriber here, husband promised to teach me to hunt so I’m trying for my first gobbler this year. Love your channel 🦃

Definitely dont move alot great advise

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.

For the last season of turkey hunting in Wisconsin do you think if using decoys would a Jake and hen be good or just a hen ? Thanks

I’m big on mistake #3 😂

I’m big on mistake #3 😂

I have an old bow that I'm converting to a bowfishing bow. It has a drop away rest on it and I didn't know if I have to switch it out to a roller rest specifically for bowfishing arrows. Is it necessary to switch to that rest or am I fine with the rest I have?

Many hunters I've interacted with are about as smart as their target species. I kid you not I've had deer, squirrels, turkey, and raccoons follow me around within forty yards when I'm just walking around checking cameras. Why? Because I'm obviously not failing at sneaking through the woods like a predator trying to score a meal. I'm relaxed, slow, and not acting funny. They're clearly curious about what I am and up to and don't present a threat. And the guys who always crawl around like they're a jaguar getting ready to pounce snapping their heads around like they're short on a fix every two seconds always tell me I'm lying because everything in the woods sees and hears them trying to woodland ninja as they helicopter their equipment around like they're trying take off during crunch time😂 Sit still, shut your yap, use your ears before your eyes, and exercise basic patience. If deer aren't walking right past you, squirrels aren't running across you, and turkeys aren't walking up to you you're moving too much and being too noisy. I swear, if you're doing it right you barely need to move and your biggest enemy is fighting the oncoming nap lurking around you.

Still on the hunt for my first turkey. I was calling with no responses for about an hour and suddenly a tom showed up about 30 yard ahead of me. But i couldnt get my gun on target because I spooked him trying to get it off my lap. I didnt see him again after that 😂

So I just got my first turkey! Your tips have helped me calm myself when im in the woods and encounter the animals in encounter! Thank you!

Setup is very very important…try to position yourself where he is in range when he becomes visible…patience is extremely important…I carry a small folding stool to sit on…I can’t sit on the ground at my age and stage…I have had many come in silent only to be busted when I decide to move…got a nice one 4 days ago, classic we texted back and forth…I laid down my box call when he was about 100 yards out…I was behind a huge poplar from him…he started skirting to the right and when he cleared the edge of the poplar 💥 awesome hunt!

Hens scared of decoys - the Tom’s disappeared to other parts and gnats the joys of late season

Big county out west I hunt them like elk . Locate visually or vocally and stalk . I hardly ever call killed one every year that way

I'm going to an actual turkey chair this year. So much more comfortable and free standing so you don't need to find a tree that you can lean on. We have lots of rocks and pines that get sticky and lots of ants. So with the chair I can just set up. We'll see how it works.

In AZ we just started on Friday. The next hunt hasn't even started. Wish we could start earlier most years. This year though half the roads are still closed.

keep the vest, attach a pad to it. depot sells green ones for gardeners that is thick and cheep compared to hunting seats. also, if you got the ground to roam, you can call and be mobile, once in a toms "zone" if you will, he might gobble and if so sit and wait, your day is about to end.

I’m 15 years old and I didn’t know any of this thank u for advise

Yeah I'm dealing with everything you have talked about in this video. These gobblers have been so stubborn this year and I've only had one come in and he was just a bit to far for a shot. But it's been fun

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.

What’s your kill count?

I agree, patients is key. Keeping still is very important. Way less calling then most. Bow no blind, lay down hen and a small jake. Avian X laydown and a Flex tone Jake. Position the hen so when he climbs on he isn't looking at you, the jake 3 or 4 feet behind her, off to one side. That way while his sub partner is beating up the jake and he is on her you can get a double, big one fist, the sub will pile on him when down.

First year with all day allowed. Much more activity in the afternoon.

You perfectly described my frustration this morning. Keep up these amazing videos.

Blinking has given me away before, they're vision is insane.

My Frist turkey was a Jake than I got Tom the next year after that have not got one in to years new this year maby

Good advice my first Tom was 3 years in. We roosted that bird and got him first thing in the morning no calling no moving just setup once and he flew down at 5 yards it was magic, this year I've had a hen lead three Tom's away from my calls I used the terrain got within a couple hundred yards was patient and just didn't have all day to wait around the challenge is what makes turkey hunting fun

We are allowed to hunt until 7pm in Ontario Canada. I’m grateful for that. I take my folding camouflage chair and tuck it in the tree line. Very comfortable!! I find if I take a short nap then scout my surroundings I sometimes spot the turkeys close by. Maybe they are curious about my snoring. 🤣

There are a ton of turkeys out there. You should have been around 50 years ago when there weren’t many. This guy ain’t old enough to know.

Are day ends at noon in upstate New York 😢

Have always and always will use nothing but the good ole box call.

I made the mistake of making some yelps while not even being ready for a Tom to come in. It was very late that morning and I was packed up and walking back towards my vehicle. I stopped and made those yelps and got immediately cut off by a Gobble. And, it was extremely close! I tried to quickly find a spot to sit where I had some minimal cover but it was too late. That Tom was on me in a blink. Next thing I heard were Putts and he was out of there. Lesson learned. Be ready because you never know how close a bird might be and you may not have time to even sit and get your gun ready.

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.

Hit every point that we all have been through. Great info thanks for sharing.

If your state allows hunting all day, hunt all day. My favorite time is evenings

The playing Hard to get method works in most situations. I’m a run and gunner, but I know when to shut up. Your Set up & timing of calling is absolutely everything

@informedoutdoors where did you source the thumbnail for this?

I’m having trouble trying to bow hunt turkey. I don’t have a lot of time to go out and I feel like I never see anything, which is annoying. What should I do?

Jake yelps my guy. Jake yelps or "caulking" is deadly on henned up toms

I'm sitting in this situation right now thank you for the tips

Huge big 10 acre field 😂😂

You lost me at scent control. 😂😂😂🤦‍♂️ 🦃

Turkeys are not very bright animals but.... they have arguably the best eyesight and hearing in the woods.

This is great advice, earlier this week, I started off the morning bad spooking a gobbler, spent some time walking and thinking about my next set up. I set up in an area where the turkey usually travel through in the afternoon and I was about to give up after not hearing anything. I could see hens off to themselves about 150 yards away, and then I started hearing gobbling coming from across the ridge in front of me. The gobbler had separated from the hens it was around that morning and after an hour of careful calling, it came on in and met its fate. What was really neat was listening to the other hens yelping. They didn't sit there and yelp and call for 10 or 15 seconds like we tend to do. I might have heard three or four subtle yelps and that's it. A few short yelps, then they walked past me and on down the field, kinda like a live decoy. My decoys stopped the gobbler long enough for a shot at least

I managed to get a Tom close to me on my first hunting season. (Luck, probably) But I messed up because of an urge to piss myself to death. I shot to quickly with my 20 gauge and lost. Y This year, I found my spot with the turkeys, got the owner's permission and will be heading towards my hiding with a DIAPER….😂. 🤫

Get rid of pop up blinds and corn half the turkey hunter's wouldn't kill anything

What are these backpacks like over long-term durability have they held up really well because I'm seriously considering in getting one as I like to go hiking and install trail cameras around trees for my wildlife photography and surveillance and I want something that is designed for harsh conditions but won't fall apart within the next couple of months because then that is just a waste of money I want to know if this bag can last for years
