Keith Kelly Loves to Go West to Hunt Gobbling Turkeys

There’s not a better decoy made than a live hen out in front of a hunter’s blind. In just a few minutes, we looked to the right and saw a longbeard coming into the food plot from the same direction that the hen had come. He was shying away from my hen decoy and was walking toward the live hen he could see out in the field. When the gobbler was about 35 yards from

Preacher Jacob Aranza Bags an Osceola Turkey

I had guided Randy Nader to his gobbler on Saturday, and the next day on Sunday afternoon, a new group of hunters arrived. My hunter for the second Seamark hunt at Dee-Dot was a pastor from Louisiana, Jacob Aranza. He was a great guy to spend time with in the woods, and we went to another food plot and set up for an afternoon hunt.

Keith Kelly’s Turkey Hunt at Florida’s Seamark Ranch

Seamark Ranch, a faith-based ranch that’s a children’s home, is located in Clay County close to Green Cove Springs, or about an hour from Jacksonville. Every year we have a charity hunt at the 26,000 acre Dee-Dot Ranch that I manage for the Seamark Ranch. It’s not far from the property I manage, and all the money that hunters pay to go on this hunt goes to help support the Seamark Ranch.

Keith Kelly Talks Decoys for Osceolas

In south Florida, the terrain is much more open, and decoys are almost a necessity because we hunt these south Florida turkeys like you hunt field turkeys in other states. However, when I say, “Decoys are almost a necessity,” you can take Osceola turkeys without using decoys, if you hunt with a buddy who’s also a good caller. We hunt Osceolas by using decoys to lure them in to where we are.

Lessons David Hale Has Learned in Turkey Woods

Back when I was hunting in the Land Between the Lakes, which is a public-hunting area, if there were 1-15 turkeys harvested during the entire turkey season that would have been declared a great year for turkey hunting. Everyone else had left the woods on this particular day when at noon, I heard two turkeys gobble and went to them. As I drew closer to the birds, both longbeards would gobble, but I also noticed

The Perfect Turkey Hunting Plan

By having a plan, managing time and exercising a little self-discipline, I have become a much better turkey hunter, maximizing my efforts to the areas turkeys move to throughout the day. Many of the toms that I have harvested were taken after 10 a.m. and may have been on my second or third tract of property hunted in a single day. For the greatest success afield, it’s best to hunt where the birds go throughout

David Hale Explains When and Why to Use Turkey Decoys

If I’m hunting on a piece of property I’ve never hunted before, especially in a swampy or an open timber area, I may put a decoy out in front of my stand site, slightly off to my right or left. I don’t want to ever be sitting behind a decoy, even if it’s a hen decoy. A decoy is a visual that may be misidentified by a hunter as a live hen or gobbler. I
