My First Trip to Alabama

Years ago I accompanied a friend on his first turkey hunt at a newly joined hunting club over in Alabama. This trip was planned a month ahead and because my buddy had no turkey hunting experience, I suggested he watch a few videos and read what he could so he would have an idea of what to expect.

Clay Franklin Says He Likes to Hunt Turkeys Even More Than He Does Deer

I think I like turkey hunting better than I do deer hunting. When I’m hunting deer, I take longer shots at the deer than I do the turkeys. I enjoy getting turkeys close to me, before I take the shots. I think I shoot better, when the turkeys are closer. Turkey hunting is more fun for me than deer hunting, but I like to deer hunt also.

Clay Franklin Tells Us Why He Likes To Hunt with His Dad

I enjoy hunting with my dad. The woods are quiet, and I get to talk to him and hang out with him. I have two sisters. When we’re at home, Dad and I have little time to be alone and talk. But in the woods, we have plenty of time. When dad first invited me to go hunting, I wondered if I would like hunting. I didn’t really know how much fun hunting would be

Matt Morrett and the Toughest Gobbler

I guess the toughest turkey I ever hunted was a gobbler in north Florida, right on the Florida-Georgia border. A friend of mine, Vandy Collins, took me to a turkey that another hunter had shot 5-days before we hunted him. Although the other hunter didn’t kill the turkey, he did give him a thorough lead shower. Unfortunately, when I go into a hunting camp, the landowner or the people in camp generally “allow” me to

What to Do When the Gobbler Knows More about You Than You Know about Him

I was fortunate to grow up in Pennsylvania, when we didn’t have many turkeys to hunt. I learned that if I found a turkey that gobbled in the spring, and he was away from other hunters, he might be the only gobbler I had to hunt all spring. However, today, turkey hunters can cover a lot of country and have several turkeys to hunt in one morning. I’ve often been asked, “Matt, what do you

DIY Coyote Calling

< Paying attention to a few details, along with a little practice on some calls can make any predator hunter enjoy this action-packed style of predator hunting for years to come.

Matt Morrett Explains What Calls to Use to Call in a Wild Turkey Gobbler

In seminars, at shows and whenever I meet the public, I’m often asked, “Matt, why do you take other calls with you when you hunt turkeys? You’ve won the World Turkey Calling Contest five times with a friction call.” Well, I don’t care how well a person calls. Each turkey call makes a little different sound. On any given morning, a gobbler only may gobble to one type of turkey call. Just like you won’t

Food Plot Boost on a Budget

Much of the country has experienced a late spring this year with temperatures that stayed below normal well into April. These below average temperatures can delay planting times and keep perennial plots from jumping back out of the ground quite as aggressively.

How to Find Late Season Public Land Gobblers

The more you know about the average public-land turkey hunter, the better your odds are for bagging a gobbler on public lands. The average public-land turkey hunter is willing to get up before daylight, possibly for the first 2 weeks of turkey season, however, after that, whether he’s bagged a bird or not, he’s had enough of that getting up before daylight.
