[00:00:03]Good morning.

[00:00:05]>> Good morning.

[00:00:05]>> How are we feeling?

[00:00:07]>> Excited.

[00:00:08]>> Nervous.

[00:00:09]>> No, don't be nervous. We're going to get you one.

[00:00:12]>> Um, got all kinds of things going.

[00:00:15]>> Yes.

[00:00:15]>> Going on.

[00:00:16]>> Do you have your tags?

[00:00:18]>> Tag.

[00:00:19]>> Okay. Um, you got the blind.

[00:00:22]>> Yep.

[00:00:23]>> And any clothing you need?

[00:00:25]>> That's really all you need cuz I have the rest.

[00:00:27]>> All in the tote.

[00:00:28]>> Okay. Let's go. Okay.

[00:00:39]>> Oh my gosh, he's fired up. Yeah, >> that's what we want.

[00:00:48]Are you excited?

[00:00:50]I am very excited.

[00:00:52]>> Where are you?

[00:00:57]Every every time I hear that couple, I feel right here.

[00:01:00]>> Yeah.

[00:01:03]That's what I love when they're this close cuz you're like, "Oh, he's like he's like practically above us."

[00:01:10]>> Basically, yeah.

[00:02:23]That's him.

[00:02:26]Sounds like he's coming.

[00:02:32]Oh my god. It's okay.

[00:02:35]He's probably going to meet up with those other ones.

[00:02:47]What?

[00:02:49]He might be.

[00:02:52]Yeah, he is.

[00:02:55]Just don't know.

[00:03:22]I don't know if you can see him on my screen.

[00:03:31]I think he sees them. He just doesn't want to cross over. He wants them to come to him.

[00:03:40]I don't think he sees the Jake though, which is what we need him to see.

[00:03:50]Gosh, I wish you could turn around.

[00:03:56]He just won't look away.

[00:03:59]I'm hoping he gets sick of waiting and wants to cross.

[00:04:27]See why I don't like this draw. I don't want to be downhill from him.

[00:04:34]You just can't see.

[00:04:59]If it crosses over, you have to move very fast.

[00:05:11]STILL ON THAT SIDE.

[00:05:23]ARE YOU SURE?

[00:05:26]>> He's like right there.

[00:05:48]Just be patient.

[00:05:52]Yep. Tom's in the back.

[00:05:58]>> This is ahead.

[00:05:59]Just don't move. He's looking.

[00:06:25]What?

[00:06:40]call.

[00:06:52]Just going to let him come into the decoys.

[00:06:56]Make sure you shoot the tom and not the head nest here.

[00:08:46]No, just wait. He's too far under the hill.

[00:08:49]>> Yeah. this vacation.

[00:08:57]Okay, tell me what's happened.

[00:09:00]Well, >> what hasn't happened?

[00:09:04]>> Yeah, seen lots and lots of turkey, but they just don't want to come in.

[00:09:12]>> Yeah, >> chased a couple, ran into a couple.

[00:09:17]This morning was pretty cool the way they were gobbling all around us.

[00:09:22]>> That was probably my favorite.

[00:09:23]>> I can't believe how many turkeys are on this property right now.

[00:09:26]>> Doesn't matter where we go. They're they're everywhere.

[00:09:29]>> Every time we turn around there's there's turkey.

[00:09:31]>> It's a good problem to have.

[00:09:33]>> Yeah.

[00:09:36]>> It is a problem though because we can't get set up right.

[00:09:41]We're on our way over there, but we seen over here. So, we want to run this way >> and then there's one back here.

[00:09:49]It's like, dang it.

[00:09:51]>> There's They're everywhere.

[00:09:55]>> But now I got to try a new spot.

[00:09:57]>> Yeah, we're going to move cuz we're kind of downhill, which is not ideal.

[00:10:03]>> And in an area they don't want to cross.

[00:10:05]Yeah.

[00:10:07]>> He was behind us for what, 30 minutes.

[00:10:09]What's crazy is we set up for those turkeys and they haven't made a peep.

[00:10:15]>> No, >> they're probably not even there anymore.

[00:10:17]>> Do you think he was the one that we spooked out right here when we crossed over?

[00:10:21]>> No, I think that was the one that was when we were first in the car when we when I was like that one.

[00:10:27]>> I think it was him cuz he was over that hill that way.

[00:10:30]>> Yeah, >> this one was too buff. Like we spooked that one too much for him to want to strut back in. But at least immediately. He could be the one that last gobbled. I don't know.

[00:10:44]He's probably out there right now.

[00:10:46]>> Probably.

[00:10:48]But hey, this is this spot's the closest we've gotten.

[00:10:51]>> Yeah. Two more steps.

[00:10:54]>> So close. I just didn't want you to blast him head on.

[00:10:57]>> Two more steps is all it would have taken.

[00:10:59]>> That's the thing, too, is they all want to just face us and not turn around.

[00:11:03]It's like you can't move. So, have to hope that they come in.

[00:11:07]>> Yeah.

[00:11:10]>> All right, let's uh adjust.

[00:11:13]We got a little bit of a storm coming in. So, we're just going to get out of here, let the birds alone for today, the rest of the day, cuz literally every turn we made was a turkey.

[00:11:28]And so, I kind of think we pushed him around a little bit, which is fine. But we're going to come back in tomorrow morning and shoot them off the roost because where they all flew down to was like right here in this flat and where we were we just couldn't see them this morning. But we're going to get right in here, tuck in, and hopefully they just fly down to us. That's the plan.

[00:11:57]>> Fingers crossed.

[00:11:57]>> Fingers crossed. I feel good about it.

[00:12:02]I think they'll do the same thing they did this morning. We got good weather, so that that helps.

[00:12:11]>> Don't tell me you see a turkey.

[00:12:12]>> No, I don't. I wish I did. No, >> it's just a rock.

[00:12:17]>> It's a rock.

[00:12:21]>> It's always just a rock till it's not.

[00:12:25]Okay, that's the plan. See you guys tomorrow.

[00:12:31]Wish my lights worked in here.

[00:12:35]Be too convenient.

[00:12:38]Let there be light.

[00:12:44]Let there be light. Oh my gosh.

[00:12:57]Morning.

[00:22:47]Oh, I'm so happy for you.

[00:22:50]Oh my gosh.

[00:22:53]See him flying down away from the head has made it work out in our favor cuz he's like, "Wait a minute. Everybody's over here."

[00:24:26]Huge beard.

[00:24:30]Girl, that is a dude.

[00:24:37]That is bigger than my biggest turkey. I am pretty sure.

[00:24:40]>> Oh no.

[00:24:41]>> I am not kidding.

[00:24:44]Are you joking?

[00:24:48]>> Talking about beginners love, dude.

[00:24:49]That's at least an inch and a half, if not bigger.

[00:24:52]>> Are they symmetrical?

[00:24:54]>> Um, are they the same?

[00:24:55]>> We wore this one down a little bit. But yeah, that's Dude, this is like a booner turkey. I'm not kidding.

[00:25:04]>> Oh, I love it.

[00:25:06]I don't know, maybe 10, which is still great. That's insane.

[00:25:35]Holy cow, dude. If that's what I think it is, that's like a >> Jeez, >> that's like a almost a 200 inch white tail, if you want to put it into deer terms.

[00:25:50]>> Shut up.

[00:25:51]>> That's a big turkey. I'm not kidding.

[00:25:58]>> Okay, so just to show you guys real quick quick. We were tucked up in behind all that stuff kind of under that cedar and we could hear him just drumming and spitting right across this crossing.

[00:26:09]Luckily, we were by the crossing cuz otherwise I don't know if he would have fully came over. But I think it was just enough that maybe he couldn't quite see the decoys. Great. But I think he knew eventually he was like, "All right, he's got to come check it out." So, it really honestly worked out so cool.

[00:26:27]Really great setup.

[00:26:30]Well, thoughts a little overwhelmed with the size, the color. Yeah, he's huge.

[00:26:41]And when you see these like in the sunlight more, like it's kind of crazy how many colors they have. Like this one has rainbow in it. Like there's so many different feathers. I I wasn't expecting that. Like just >> Yeah. From a distance, it look like a black blob.

[00:26:58]>> Yeah.

[00:26:59]But up close it's like really cool and great turkey.

[00:27:08]>> You made a heck of a shot.

[00:27:10]>> Yeah.

[00:27:11]>> Yeah.

[00:27:12]>> And her I could like feel her like the whole time cuz he just decided to stay down there for literally ever drumming.

[00:27:22]>> Drumming. Yeah. We could just feel him.

[00:27:24]>> That was a a new sound I've never heard before. That went deep down into the soul. That's That's for sure.

[00:27:33]>> Pretty freaking cool. You made me wait so long.

[00:27:38]I'm just So I'm proud of you. You made a great shot and I'm just really glad like we She had a great first experience. Now the sun's coming out. But yesterday gave us the runaround and I told her today it's going to happen because now I know what they're doing. So she's like, "Are you sure? Are you really sure it's going to happen?" I'm like, I'm pretty sure >> you're pretty confident >> based on yesterday. Maybe not, but I think it'll happen. You're pretty confident this morning.

[00:28:05]>> Yeah.

[00:28:06]>> Well, I'm glad you got one.

[00:28:08]>> Thank you. You're welcome. You worked really hard to make sure.

[00:28:19]>> Yep. And here we are.
