I basically fell the first 15 feet into the gully and managed to lower myself slowly the rest of the way. I climbed up the other side and sat down muddy, wet and out of breath. Sure enough my guru of a guide called the gobbler right in to me. My heart pounded when I saw his fan. I don’t even remember pulling the trigger but my first gobbler was in my hands.

The One Room School Style Of Teaching Still Works Today

Once a youngster in the sixth grade has completed his/her hunter-safety course, has been on some outdoor adventures and then moves into the seventh grade, we continue to teach them outdoor skills. We continue to hold them accountable for their academic education, as well as their social and service education, with the reward being outdoor adventures and the ability to learn more outdoor skills

Will Primos Calls A Lot and Calls Loud to Turkeys

When the recorder stopped, the old gentleman looked up and said, “You call too much, and you call too loudly.” I smiled and said, “Sir, I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but the gobbler you heard me calling to is dead.” So, that’s where we coined the phrase, “We call too much, and we call too loud.”

Primos Bombshell

The Bombshell is based off of a push rail that allows you to make a variety of sounds with one hand. Simply push the rail to automatically yelp, tap the rail to cut, and slowly press the rail to purr or whine. The fact that you can produce all of these sounds with one call and with only one hand helps minimize your movement

The Young Will Primos Loved to Hunt and Make Stacked Frame Turkey Calls

When I was 11, I had made my own duck call like my Uncle Gus had - a Jake Gartner Duck Call. When the turkey population in Mississippi began to expand, and everyone was getting into turkey calling, I decided to get into it too.

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

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,

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
