Turkey Hunting Without Experience

I'm an avid reader. So, I read everything that I could find about turkey hunting. You could say I went to college on turkey hunting. Once I called in that first turkey, I totally understood why people hunted turkeys. I couldn’t believe how exciting interacting with a wild turkey gobbler was – to call to him and that bird talk back to you. Then if you were lucky, that wild gobbler would come looking for

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.

Cold Weather and No Cover Means Tough Early Season Turkey Hunting in the North

When snow is on the ground and is falling, I've learned that the turkeys aren’t nearly as active as they are later on in the season. Very rarely will you hear a turkey gobble, and very rarely will you hear hens or gobblers calling at fly-down time. For the most part, all Michigan turkeys are silent. So, locating turkeys is really tough. When I'm calling under snowy conditions, I call very softly.

3 Ways to Improve Mast Production

Whether it’s persimmon, cherry, crabapple, white or red oak acorns, or you’re lucky enough to have chestnuts, it’s amazing the yield of wildlife food you can coax out of your native habitat. Without ever planting a food plot, and by spending very little, you can entice your native trees into producing tons of forage for your wildlife simply with a chainsaw, pruner and a little fertilizer.

When Hens Don’t Come to You - Don’t Move

When I first started hunting turkeys, I liked to hunt by myself. But lately, I've found that the real joy that I get out of turkey hunting is calling in gobblers for other people, and teaching them how to turkey hunt like my dad has taught me. If I know other turkey hunters are hunting where I’m hunting, I’ll use a very high-pitched hen call. I don’t want to talk to the gobbler but instead

3 Errors Land Sellers Make

As any landowner can tell you, selling a piece of property and getting your money's worth can be a tricky subject because everyone has different opinions about the value of your land. However, at the end of the day, it's important to remember that you are, in fact, the owner of the land, and that you don't always have to sell until the conditions are in your favor.

Kentucky Elk Offering Kids a Shot

One of the most coveted tags in all of the outdoors, Kentucky’s quota elk hunt offers the public a chance to chase wild elk in the Bluegrass State.

Taking Home a Memory of a Lifetime and a Gobbler for the Table

Since the hunt is over when you squeeze the trigger, why not get the most fun, excitement and joy that you can out of a turkey hunt? By being a little bit more patient and watching that turkey do all he can do before he leaves, or you harvest him, and waiting on the turkey to fight the decoy and then watching that fight, I think takes turkey hunting to an all together different level.

Mossy Oak Deluxe Binocular Straps

Most binoculars come with a single strap to attached to so you can wear over your shoulder or around your neck. This can be an effective way to carry them without question. The downside, if you are wearing them around your neck, is that they will bounce when you have to move quickly from one set up to the next. They can easily move or bump other equipment resulting in unwanted noise. Finally, they can
