Build Forts While Turkey Hunting with Children

You can’t really expect a youngster to sit still and be quiet as long as you can sit still and be quiet when you’re working a turkey. For this reason, when I’m taking a youngster hunting, I’ll try and locate a gobbler before the hunt, set-up a portable blind and brush it up. I’ll put it close enough that I can call to that turkey, or I’ll build a natural blind out of branches, limbs

International Shed Hunting with the ScentBlocker Pros

I'll never forget the sight. More of an excuse to get my kids out of the house than anything, our “shed” hunting trip didn't last long. But it didn't need to either. Barely peeking out of a fresh crust of snow, two tiny tines were reaching out toward the sky. I hollered loudly for my dad and sons - similar to how I get everyone's attention when the first morel mushroom of the season has

Have the Right Turkey Hunting Stuff

One of the first things I do before I go hunting with my grandchildren is make sure they: have camo pants and shirts that fit them; have a quality pair of comfortable boots; look at themselves in the mirror and know they look good, like a turkey hunter should; and have guns that fit them. Youngsters want to have everything you have, so I always make sure I have a gun that will fit them.

Remember You Want Children to Have Fun Turkey Hunting

I always plan to hunt when I know the weather will be warm, and the children won’t get cold or wet. Today youngsters have so many video games, iPads, ball sports and television shows that you have to convince them that turkey hunting is one of the most-fun things they can do. You want your children or your grandchildren to really, really want to go hunting with you. Now getting the youngsters mentally prepared to

One Small Mistake Can Ruin Your Turkey Population

The wild turkey is an amazing bird. Although their numbers across the U.S. are really good, most any hunter or sportsman wouldn’t mind seeing a few more where they hunt or manage land. A simple mistake we see made every year that can have a negative impact on your turkey numbers is the good old bush hog. After being on your property during the spring, you begin to see a lot of things you would

Building the Next Generation of Turkey Hunters

The sport of turkey hunting will continue if each of us dedicates ourselves to teaching the next generation (including our children and our grandchildren). Ronnie “Cuz” Strickland, vice president of Mossy Oak Television and Video Production, says, “Turkey hunting trips with my grandchildren are some of my best turkey hunts ever.” To understand why, we asked Cuz to tell us all how he’s training his grandchildren to turkey hunt.

Turkeys Across Deep and Wide Creeks

One of the toughest questions is: “How do you take a turkey that’s gobbling across a creek that’s too deep to wade and too far or too cold to swim?” When I find myself in this situation, I say, “Is that water too cold for me to swim, or is there another way that I can get on the same side of the creek as that gobbler?”

A Turkey Decoy May Work, But Perhaps Not

I really like to use a strutting gobbler decoy. However, you don’t know which gobbler in the flock may come in to your calling. If a subordinate gobbler comes in, and he's already been beat up by a dominant gobbler, there's a very good chance that he's won’t come in and get his head bloodied again.

Matt Morrett on How to Take a Field Turkey

On most fields, the edges of the fields are wooded. Finding a gobbler out in the field is the easiest way to locate a turkey to hunt. However, a field turkey oftentimes is one of the most-difficult turkeys to hunt. A really-smart field turkey will fly down from the roost, land out in the middle of the field, strut, drum and call his hens to him. He’ll stay out in the field until the sun

Matt Morrett Loves to Use Friction Calls for Gobblers

In 2 minutes or less, you can learn to push the dowel on a push-button call and call in a wild turkey. In 5 to 10 minutes you can learn to use a slate or a glass-type friction call. You can make a yelp, a cluck, a purr and a cutting sound and call in a wild turkey. For this reason, friction calls are the easiest and simplest to learn.
