How to Handle Heavy Hunting Pressure on Turkeys and How to Hunt Thick Cover Gobblers

You’ve constantly got to change-up your calls and your strategies, so the gobbler never knows where you’ll appear, when you’ll call and what call, you’ll use. If you go into the woods before daylight, use your owl hooter, crow call, slate call, diaphragm call and box call. If you’ve been feeding him the same routine every day, you won’t be very successful. Here are some tips to help you hunt high-pressure gobblers.

Sitting Hawk Chair

As a deer hunter you know that two of the things that can ruin your hunt are getting winded and getting seen due to movement in tree or on the ground. If you turkey hunt, you know that your biggest challenge is keeping still and not being seen. Let’s face it even if you hunt the wind, you can still have a busted hunt if you are not comfortable when hunting from the ground no

Avid Turkey Hunter Chris Kirby on How to Take a Gobbler on the Other Side of the Fence

If you’re hunting turkeys on a farm or a ranch in spring, sooner or later you’ll be on one side of a fence and the gobbler you’re trying to take will be on the other side. Normally, you’d go across the fence if you had permission to hunt the land on the other side of the fence, but the turkey might be so close that if you try to go over or under the fence,

Being a GameKeeper is a way of life for all of us at Mossy Oak and we work extremely hard to bring the best out of the land we manage. I have had the opportunity to grow up around some great hunting spots. One thing I have noticed is the best spots are all carefully managed for their hunting pressure. Managing land is much more fun than managing hunting pressure, but if you do it

Quaker Boy Calls’ Chris Kirby and the Goat Hill Gobbler

We could tell the gobbler was coming, because he was gobbling more, and he kept getting louder and louder. I really thought my writer friend would bag this gobbler less than 45 minutes after his feet hit the ground, but then we heard a noise from the left. It continued to get louder and louder, and the turkey quit gobbling. Within a few minutes, we spotted a large heard of goats – 300 or 400

Protecting the Wood Duck

The most abundant species of waterfowl found in the eastern half of North America was once the wood duck. Unfortunately, as with many species, this particular group met with a huge struggle at one point that almost led to their complete demise. From finding themselves in densely populated areas which led to over-harvesting to the literal disappearance of bottomland habitats, the wood duck suffered immensely. Nearing extinction, it wasn't until the mid-20th century, when the

Heave, Haul, Lug and Tug

For many of us, maintaining our hunting properties demands using our vehicles to tow and haul various loads and trailers. Whether it’s towing a trailer of ATVs, hauling a load of fertilizer or pulling a heavy duty load like a utility tractor, understanding the limitations of your trailer and your tow vehicle will do much to ensure safe usage. While towing a trailer seems simple enough, it’s no small undertaking, especially when lugging heavy loads

Quaker Boy’s Chris Kirby on the Turkey Thug Little Friend

Quaker Boy has two push-button calls in the Thug line, the Little Friend and the H2O Yelper that’s waterproof. Many hunters think a push-pull call is a child’s call, because it’s so simple to operate. So, they wonder why I always carry one and advise other hunters to do the same, even after they’ve mastered diaphragm calls and all the friction calls.

Why Van Cise Gobbles Very Little and His Best Suggestions for Taking Toms

I’m often asked about the toughest turkey I’ve ever hunted. The truth is, I try not to hunt tough turkeys. I did have one old gobbler I tried to take with a friend of mine. He shot at the gobbler and missed him. I hunted that bird for four seasons and saw him several times, but I never could make him gobble, and he never would come to a call. I don’t spend much time
