Matt Van Cise Talks Turkeys

I’ve been calling competitively since 1996 and hunting turkeys for more than 22 years. There are numbers of turkey hunters in Pennsylvania, and plenty of public lands where hunters can take wild turkeys there.

A “House” Made of Grass

If you combine food plots with a reliable, clean water source, efficient living spaces and a sanctuary the results can be astounding! If you plant more food you attract more “mouths” to the area. But where are those deer going to live/bed? Creating extra living spaces can be done in several ways but one of the most productive procedures is planting grasses for cover.

Eddie Salter Says Never Give Up when Hunting Wily Turkeys

I had this famous outdoor writer coming to Evergreen, Alabama, where I live, to hunt with me. This fellow was writing a book on turkey hunting for the Outdoor Life Book Club. He wanted to hunt with and interview all the well-known turkey hunters and callers of the day for his book. Before the hunt, I’d secured permission to hunt what I considered to be some of the best turkey lands in Alabama. These lands

Big Green Targets

I have been using these targets over the past year and absolutely love them. I like the fact that I have a target I can put in my back yard and shoot over and over again. It has been rained on and beat up by the weather but still stops my fast PSE Bow and offers easy arrow removal.

Trapping for Better Hunting

All avid hunters and landowners know the three basics for growing and holding most wildlife on their property: food, water, and cover. Improvement to the habitat usually results in increases to the quantity and quality of the game species using the property. But, what do you do when your land has great habitat, year-around food sources, plenty of water and your wildlife numbers still are not increasing like you dreamed? The answer could be trapping!

Let Turkeys Teach You How to Hunt Them with Eddie Salter

Public-land gobblers learn what a locator call is during the first weekend of turkey season. To take these turkeys, get on the backside of the roost tree, call softly, and watch what happens. Be sure you’re wearing your Mossy Oak camouflage, and you stay well hidden, because these public-land gobblers know what a hunter looks like. Then let the turkeys teach you how to hunt.

Eddie Salter Tells the Tale of Jimmy Wayne and the Three Amigos

Jimmy Wayne Joyner, a friend of mine, told me about three gobblers he’d named the Three Amigos. The first time he spotted these three gobblers out in the field, he called to them, and they took-off running. He went back the next afternoon and found these same three gobblers out in the field. He decided to set-up along the trail where the turkeys had run out of the field. He called to them again, and

Clover is Ideal Brood Habitat

Remember that clover field you planted last fall? Last week we told you that if you haven’t paid it a visit since deer season, chances are you’ll be pleasantly surprised at all the new growth it puts on this spring. Fall planted perennials often come leaping out of the ground with fresh forage when the ground temperatures begin to rise in mid March to April.

Eddie Salter Explains What Makes Southern Turkeys So Tough to Take

This field where this turkey was living had big terraces. When I got out that morning, I saw this bird strutting in the middle of the field on top of one of those terraces. I got on the terrace below him and belly-crawled, peeping over the lip of the terrace to see where he was. Finally, when I got close to the turkey, a hen walked past me within shooting distance.

Working in Concert

There is good information available to help grow food plots, information on high quality forage varieties, soil testing, fertilization needs and how to plant. Food plots can greatly expand the nutrition available to your herd and increase the carrying capacity of a given acreage. Likewise managers have used supplemental feed to provide nutrition at key times of the year and extend habitat. It seems like most conversations about enhancing habitat for deer are either related

Reasons for Hunting Are Diverse According to HunterSurvey

American sportsmen hail from every walk of life imaginable, and just as they are a diverse crowd, so too are their reasons for participating in hunting. While many portray hunting as an intense effort to get game, the reality is the overall outdoor experience holds much more sway in attracting people to the sport.

Tough Turkeys with Eddie Salter

I’ve learned my best turkey-hunting strategies from some of the baddest birds on the planet. The Bad Foot Gobbler lived on a 730-acre tract of land where I had permission to hunt. I had seen this bird and his tracks, while deer hunting in the fall, and I knew he was a big old gobbler. I was supposed to be the only one with the rights to hunt turkeys on this property.
