Better Guns, Shells, Chokes and Optics for Hunting Turkeys

So, one of the best tips I can give turkey hunters this season is to spend some time at your local sporting-goods store, check-out the new turkey shotguns on the market, study the turkey chokes and get a five pack of turkey loads from several different manufacturers in No. 4, 5, 6 and 7-1/2. Then go to the rifle range with some turkey head targets, and see how those guns pattern at 20-60 yards.

What to Do if You Don’t Take a Turkey as Soon as He’s Flown Down

with Terry Drury Even though Mark is a World Champion turkey caller, knowing where the turkeys want to be and getting to that place before they do is much-more effective than fancy calling. We want to become a part of that turkey’s natural daily routine. Ninety-eight percent of the time, woodsmanship will pay more turkey dividends than great calling will.

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.

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.

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.

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.
