Terry Drury on Getting Close to Take a Turkey’s Temperature

That’s one of the real secrets to consistently taking turkeys. If you study the turkeys on the land you hunt, if you know where they like to roost, and where they like to fly to when they leave the roost, you can take turkeys throughout turkey season. When we first started hunting turkeys on our land, we didn’t have the birds patterned very well. Now that we’ve been hunting this property for many years, when

Terry's Turkey Tips

The first turkey I ever took was with Toxey Haas, the founder of Mossy Oak. Toxey came to hunt with us in Bloomsdale, Missouri, where our mom and dad live, and where Mark and I grew up. Finally, my turn came to pack the gun, and Mark’s turn came to run the camera. Toxey and I went hunting, and Toxey called in that first turkey for me.

Turkey Cost Per Pound

Why would you incur such a cost when you could just walk in the store and buy one for $1.59 a pound? I’m sure in his and others minds we turkey hunters must be crazy and while that may be true, I actually feel my $100 a pound bird is one of the best deals I get each year and it’s easily justified.

Neill Haas's Favorite Hunt Produced This Year

One of my best shows I produced was my first elk hunt in a Kentucky reclaimed coal mine. Our hunter took a really unusual three-main-beamed elk. Most people never think of Kentucky as a hot elk spot, but the state does boast a limited number of elk in some beautiful scenery and mountains.

Neill Haas’s Biggest Oops as a Field Producer

I think being a field producer requires the most organizational skills of any job at Mossy Oak. I’ve learned the best way I can keep organized is to make a checklist. I check off every piece of equipment I will need, and then know I have it, either the night before the hunt or in the morning before we leave camp.

Three Keys to Being Successful

I would like to focus on the 3 key elements that I believe to be the most important things when it comes to hunting. While doing seminars for Mossy Oak at various outdoor events around the mid-south, the question I get the most is, “What can I do to improve my odds and be more successful out in the field?” This is a very simple answer that surprises most folks when I reveal the answer.

Tip #5 – Woodsmanship Is the Key to Successfully Hunting Turkeys

A good woodsman often will take more turkeys than a good turkey caller. If you learn where the gobblers are, where they like to feed, where they like to strut, where they like to get water, and where they go when they sense danger in the woods, then you can hunt and take gobblers without a call.

Tip #4 – When Hunting Turkeys Don’t Leave Home without Pruners, Saws and Cushions

What you take into turkey grounds with you often determines what you bring out of the turkey woods. Turkey hunting is unlike most other forms of hunting, especially in the East. You may know the area of the woods you’re going to hunt, but most of the time you don’t know where you’ll have to set-up to get a turkey. Being prepared to set-up anywhere at anytime is a critical ingredient to being able to

Hunters, Liars, and other Fairy Tales

"That eagle swooped down and took ‘em both in her talons. We were going to shoot the 'yote but the eagle said she had kids to feed, and let’s be honest; it’d be unpatriotic to take food away from baby eagles," he said.

Tip #3 – Go High for Gobblers

Hunting from an elevated tree stand is another tactic I’ll use. A full-grown turkey gobbler isn’t worried about hawks or owls that hunt in the sky trying to kill it. So, turkeys rarely will look-up. If you plan to use a tree stand or hunt from an elevated platform, make sure it’s legal in the state you hunt. Some states don’t permit hunters to hunt from elevated platforms, while other states do. Check your local

Field Judging Black Bears

Ask any experienced hunter and they’ll tell you that black bears are among the most difficult big game animals to field judge. Part of that is because they’re far less common than deer, so hunters just don’t get much experience seeing them. And part is just the nature of the beast. Any large, black carnivorous animal will look big, especially if you don’t have something for scale nearby.
