The Traveling Turkey Hunter

I scouted so much, I took my first two birds during the first three days of turkey season this year. I knew that three days of turkey hunting could not and would not satisfy my turkey-hunting addiction. If I couldn’t find somebody else who hadn’t filled their tags that I could guide and call for after those three days, I’d be totally without the possibility of being able to hunt again until the following year.

Brett Berry Loves to Hunt Turkeys

When I was in college, we learned everything we could about wildlife management in two years. One of our assignments was to go out into the woods every morning and count the number of turkeys we heard gobbling. The first morning I went out and heard my first wild turkey gobble; I was hooked. I told my partner that I wanted to hunt those birds. We were so busy with our classes, I didn’t get

The First Turkey Hunt for Serena Juchnowski

Serena was a 17-year-old young lady who had never turkey hunted before. She’d been deer hunting four or five times and taken two deer, so she had some hunting experience. She was also a competitive shooter. She knew gun safety and shot long- range rifles competitively, with her longest range being 600 yards.

100 Days of Turkey Hunting

Brett Berry of Bristolville, Ohio, says, “About 10 years ago when I first started helping Zink Calls and Avian-X Decoys, I also became a pro staffer for Mossy Oak. I hunt turkeys in the spring and fall and use my turkey dogs during fall hunting. I try to hunt every day of the week during Ohio’s turkey season. I also hunt West Virginia and Pennsylvania, and I’m hunting in Wyoming in mid-May. I generally hunt

Frustrating Turkey Hunts with Perry Peterson

We would give the cameraman a hard time just for fun for not letting the shooter shoot, and then we would kid with him that he was in the wrong spot. At first those scenarios were somewhat frustrating, but I really understood that the Mossy Oak film crew was trying to do the best job they could and make the best video they could make. If the turkey wasn’t right, then there was no point

Memorable Iowa Turkey Hunts with Youngsters

I have been taking youngsters turkey hunting with me for the last 20 years. To me there is nothing more fun than watching a youngster get all excited when he or she sees one of those big gobblers coming in to my calls, strutting and drumming and about to gobble his head off. It really does not matter whether the kid shoots the turkey or not. The joy and excitement I get from watching those

7 Tips to Keep Weeds Under Control

Spray when grasses or broadleaf weeds are young and thriving. If you wait to spray when they are tall and mature, the results will often be less than desirable. If weeds are already tall and maturing, mow first and return 7-10 days later to spray the new re-growth.

Iowa Has Had a Strange Turkey Season in 2017

During Iowa’s youth season, the weather was fairly warm, and the bugs were out. On April 24, 2017, we had a light snow that was enough to cover the roofs on a few houses, and the bugs seemed to disappear. The weather has been fairly cool here at the end of the season, but we’ve hunted here in the snow in Iowa during early May.

Tenzing Packs for Mountain Country Hunting

Mountain hunters face a variety of unique challenges; the greatest of which are the increased physical demands created by elevation and steep terrain. Mountain hunters must wholly commit themselves to the physical and mental training required to perform in these beautiful, game-rich, yet challenging environments. Gear must be equally up to task.

Perry Peterson’s Toughest Tom

I hunted one tom hard during our second season and finally gave up on him. Then I hunted him for 10 days during the last season before I was able to take him. This ole gobbler was the big dog on campus. I think he had all the hens as a part of his harem from across much of the area. In the mornings, when I tried to hunt him, he always would have at
