Why I Use the Turkey Call Most Turkey Hunters Don’t

I'm often asked, “Why do you still use the push button call?” I use the push button call quite a bit, because it’s really easy to use. All you have to do is push the button, and the little box will make a yelp. My push button call has a really-raspy yelp. Too, making a bad call with the push button is difficult.

Michael Adams Prefers to Take People Turkey Hunting and Let Them Shoot the Gobbler

As I’ve mentioned earlier, I enjoy taking other people turkey hunting. If I can call a gobbler within gun range, I believe I’ve won the hunt, regardless of what happens after the bird is within shooting distance. I never will forget when I took another Mossy Oak Pro Staffer on his first turkey hunt. The day before the hunt, we went out scouting for turkeys but we never did see a gobbler. So, the next

Good Decision Combinations Kill Turkeys

Being a successful turkey hunter requires us to be a good decision maker and manager. As much as we talk about the impact of calling and woodsmanship on our hunts, it really comes down to the element of managing multiple decisions and the totality of the combinations we make that ultimately affects the outcome of each hunt we undertake. At the end of the day, it is your overall ability as a hunter to plan,

I Have To Pay the Price to Take the Turkey

Michigan is somewhat unique in that some of the public land that I hunt also serves as parks where people hike, walk their dogs, have picnics and get out in the woods during the warm days of that third season. I’ll even see people riding bicycles on the property where I'm hunting. On this state park, deer hunting, small game hunting and turkey hunting are permitted.

J.J. Kent Says to Change Your Decoy Spread Each Time You Set Up to Call Gobblers

During the spring, our Rio Grande turkeys have a set pattern. They gobble from the roost. Then when they come off the roost, the hens will come to them, and they’ll often breed the hens close to the roost tree. When they find a hen to breed, or they learn that none of the hens want to breed, the next thing they do is go and feed. To take a turkey, you’ve either got to

Why J.J. Kent Likes a Two Blind Set-Up and to Set-Up Decoys at 12 To 14 Yards

I’ll set-up my hunters in a pop-up blind with Mossy Oak Break-Up Infinity camouflage. I can have one or two hunters in one blind, and I’ll set-up a second blind right beside and touching the hunter’s blind. I’ll sit in, call, video and shoot digital pictures from this blind that has a window on both sides as well as a window that opens to the front. The hunters will zip down their sides, and I’ll
