Will Primos and His Partnership with Mossy Oak

We sat down in my restaurant between lunch and dinner, and I helped teach Bill Sugg how to improve his calling for a few hours. I learned as much from Bill as he learned from me. A few years later, Bill called me and said, “I’m going into the camouflage business with my friend Toxey Haas, and I want to come talk to you about it."

Avid Outdoorsman Will Primos and His “Truth” Video Series

The Primos line of game calls grew quickly in the 1980s and 1990s and is still one of the largest game-call companies in the nation. Much of this company’s success may be related to the “Truth” series of videos, CDs and DVDs that Will Primos and his company produce and sell. Primos not only tells you his calls produce game, he can prove they do through this video series. Where did his company get the

Primos’ Secrets for Successful Turkey Hunting

Will Primos, the founder of Primos Hunting, says, “If I had been dipped in Mossy Oak right after I was born, I would have been able to take more critters during my younger days.” Since 1987, Will Primos not only has been a Mossy Oak ProStaffer but also a very close friend of Toxey Haas, the creator and founder of Mossy Oak, and Ronnie Strickland, senior vice president of telelvision and related media for Mossy

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.

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

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.

Chris Kirby Talks Turkey Thugs

There’s more to the Turkey Thugs line than the unusual name. The word THUG is an acronym for “Today’s Hunters Uniting for Good.” The turkey hunters who buy the Turkey Thug products are hunters who want to help support men and women of the Armed Forces who come back to this country injured. People who buy Turkey Thug products love to turkey hunt, love this country and love the men and women who serve in

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

Fill Your Turkey Vest with Different Types of Calls

To find the right call for a gobbler on a particular day, determine how quickly he gobbles back to you after you call. If you want to become a serious turkey hunter, I suggest you carry a wide variety of calls. Let the gobblers tell you what type of call and what sounds to use to get that bird to come to you.
