Nice turkey hunt out back behind farmer Joe’s turned ugly when a lady down the street didn’t like the sound of gun shots. She called the cops and the farmer/landowner (shown in video) tried telling the officer that the boys had permission, but he didn’t want to hear it. Check out the site for more of our clips.. I’m not posting this video to show the greatest turkey hunt ever or to portray new york’s finest in a bad way, i just thought it was hilarious and wanted to share it with some others who might enjoy as well.

For most turkey hunters, springtime hunting is where it is. Autumn is a busy time for hunters – it is deer season, upland hunting season, waterfowl hunting season – the list goes on and on. For that reason, most hunters put off the turkey hunting until the spring, but this fact can make autumn turkey hunting very satisfying. Hunting turkeys during the fall is less crowded, and you’ll have less competition for the birds. Add to that the fact that autumn tends to be turkey eating seasons, and you can see how forgoing the deer hunting for a little turkey hunting in the fall can be a very good thing.

Turkey hunting in the fall is an altogether different beast than spring turkey hunting, and it can be quite a bit more challenging. In the spring, the male turkeys are on the prowl, looking for a hen, so it can be fairly easy to lure one away from the pack by making hen calls. In the fall, the male turkeys aren’t so interested in the hens and instead tend to roam around in packs together (likewise for the hens, of course, but hunting mature male turkeys is preferable). Separating these groups can be a little bit more difficult and requires a different approach than spring turkey hunting.

When you are hunting in the autumn, it is best to stick to a certain progression of activities. The ideal situation is to stumble upon a pack of male turkeys and take position hidden from view. When you are out of eyeshot of the turkeys, preferably at least 100 yards away from them start trying to call them in to you. Now, it is important here to not make hen calls as you would in spring hunting. You instead want to make the kinds of gobbles that male turkeys make – these gobbles are usually slower and lower pitched than the hen gobbles. What you want to do here is lure on turkey away from the pack. Sometimes, however, this plan backfires. You may end up luring the entire pack, which is not ideal for taking a clean shot, and sometimes you may end up luring in a hen. If you bring in a hen, run her away. If you bring in the entire pack, you will need to take a different tact.

If the whole pack of male turkeys moves in on you, or if they do not respond to your calls, you need to go on to plan B. Instead of trying to call the turkeys, scatter the pack. You can do this by rushing up on them making loud noises, or you can use a turkey hunting dog that is trained to scatter (you don’t want the dog to chase them too far away once they scatter). The object here is to split up the pack and then call in a turkey that has not reattached to the group. Once the turkeys are scattered, wait around 15 minutes, and then start your calls again, trying to call in that lone bird. If the turkeys seem to be running too far away, start the calling sooner, but waiting a little bit is ideal.

At this point, it is simply a matter of waiting. Because the turkeys aren’t trying to mate like they are in the spring, they are a little less motivated to respond to calls. You may have to repeat the scatter and call routine a few times before one takes the bait. For most autumn turkey hunters, however, this is the fun part. You have the woods to yourself and you can take your time and enjoy the thrill of the hunt.

Spring turkey hunting is considered by most seasoned hunters as the prime turkey hunting season. Several hunters both beginners and veterans scout and prepare fastidiously with information about turkey behavior before setting forth in the woods to bag the trophy turkey at the end of a spring turkey hunting journey.

As early as February when the ice melts and the season brings coldness in the air, humans need warmth either from blankets or from people to provide the needed heat. Same goes for these turkeys. Yes, spring season is official turkey mating season.

How turkeys behave during mating season provides an advantage for a hunter during spring turkey hunting. For example, a mature male turkey or a tom gobbles or creates sounds that attract a female turkey or a hen. Gobbling is a sign of dominance while it waits for ********** hens to be mated by them. Sometimes, the tom scouts the hen’s nesting or roosting area to mate with as many hens as it could.

With that in mind, a good hunter can scout where to set up. Before the hunt or early in the morning, the hunter can observe for places where the hens frequent or nest. A set up can be built near the hens’ nest or roosting area.

A good set up is tantamount, but a strategic turkey call will seal the deal. A turkey call that imitates the hen’s chuckle or yelp is usually performed to attract a tom. Also, coupled with a hen decoy to back up the luring noise, a tom should be approaching a hunter’s set up in no time.

There are other turkey behaviors to be considered during spring turkey hunting. For example, a tom can be extremely territorial that a tom wouldn’t hesitate to attack another tom for a contest at male turkey dominance. When a tom sees another tom near a hen or an area it frequents, it will quickly sprint towards it.

Of course during spring turkey hunting, like fall turkey hunting, it is essential to bring the right gear, and the right attitude. That’s why the best spring turkey hunting tip is for a hunter to maintain a healthy outlook. Too much obsessing or competitiveness may bring more harm than good. So before getting absorbed in the hunt, always observe safety precautions for a hassle-free and enjoyable hunt.

Just a quick, first time video to see if this works. Any comments or vote would be very well received. Just the redneck kids singing and having fun. Singing a cool song about deer hunting, turkey hunting and fishing. Enjoy!!

Point Blank Waterfowlers headed down to NC to visit a good friend Clay McPherson owner of Cutawhiskie Creek Outfitters (CCO). We always have an awesome time with Clay and the boys and I look forward to going back every year. This is one of the top Outfitters on the list for Point Blank. If you’re hunting deer, turkey, bear, ducks or swan CCO has it all and lots to go around.
