Neill Haas Gives Advice to Anyone Who Wants to Be a Field Producer

I’m seeing a side of the Mossy Oak business I’ve really wanted to learn about since I was a kid. I’ve grown up in the culture of Mossy Oak: hunting, land stewardship and the business of television. However, with my venture as a field producer, I’ve taken the first steps on the path of a new profession. I am a part of Mossy Oak; I want to continue to grow more and keep on learning

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

"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.

Tip #2 – Don’t Move When You’re Hunting Turkeys

Many hunters don’t realize how still you have to be when you’re turkey hunting. Most hunters don’t consider where the turkey’s eyes are located on his head. A turkey’s eyes are on the side of his head – not on the front of his head like our eyes. We can see straight ahead, but we don’t have very-good peripheral vision. A turkey has 180-degree eyesight in each of his eyes and can spot the slightest
