Having a growth mindset is beneficial in every aspect of life!

My uncle told me a few years ago that calling before the season will make them call shy and they won’t work in as well. I of course believed that for a while but then found out it’s not true . Like you say, it’s myths passed down from generation to generation. You make a good point that they hear turkeys all the time and sometimes they don’t see them. Excellent video !! This is my favorite Turkey hunting channel by far because it’s about education and not just killing and being funny

Dale i am a beginner and you impressed me the way you are a Turkey MAN

Dale I wanted to let you know I watch your videos religiously and seems like I learn a ton putting your tips to use. Thanks and keep up the good informative work from a fellow Virginian lol

Matt, another great video, thanks. I’m going to keep this mind set of being adaptive in my Spring strategy this year

I got a pack of turkeys that luve near my apartment. Im always bringing a call with me when i go for a run or a walk so i can practice my calling. Not calling turkeys you arent hunting is like not practicing your spanish with some spanish friends, before visiting spain.

Yessssss !!!! Another Dale Outdoors video

Thank you Matt for best turkey hunting content on YT and Ive watched ALL the big names in turkey hunting and differences with you are the jnfo you teach and the way you teach it I have absolutely become a 30-40% better turkey hunter because of you Last year hunting a very large tract of pressured public ground not extremely heavy pressure but still the birds absolutely knew they were being hunted by week three of season and I found a great roost on private ground that bordered the public ground that had a creek as the border that a turkey would absolutely have to fly to cross it worse yet once on the public land side of the creek the turkeys would have across a small field then come up a steep incline to reach the field I was set up on as only a thin 20 yard wide strip of woods separated the public land side of the creek from the picked corn field also public land I set up as the lay of the land dictated and waited for first light Sure enough 4 or 5 Toms started gobbling at the buttcrack of dawn Tride mimicking the hens I heard but I could see with my 10x binoculars the Toms on the roost all facing away from me Then on your advice I saw in a previous video I started gobbler clucking and yelping with my Spring Feaver copper over glass slate call alternating between the copper and glass sides to try to sound like two different Toms saw at least three Toms turn around on the roost face my way and then once full sun up flew down towards me Very quickly first one Tom poped out into the field then another then a third at about 75 yards to my thankfully left as Im RT handed they sloooooowly worked thier way towards me giving me a awesome near constant show of full display let them go about posturing for a loooong time as it was just pure visual joy to watch them display and gobble I could tell they had lost interest and were going to leave so I took the Tom with the biggest thickest beard This was day five of week three of my states SWT season the birds saw a minimum per quota of 12 hunters a day as well as mushroom hunters after 1pm and I used Tom calls to call them to fly across a deep creek up a steep inclined bank and another 40 yards into gun range about 200-225 yards total Would have never thoght to use Gobbler clucks and yelps if not for your Videos Matt so greatest of thanks And yes you use the correct call under the correct circumstances and if at all possible Toms will cross it to get to you You Matt are the real deal as far as top tear turkey hunting educators go

I practice at my local State Park in the no hunting zones. Have a blast. Hunting area not far , some border each other. Great information here.

Spot on!!! Stay out of the ruts… Good video.

Just like changing baits when the fish don't bite!!! Switching up calls/ tactics has killed many a gobbler over the years!!!

Do a few n depth calling videos Gobbler yelping Fly downs Tree yelping etc. and your favorite calling sequences and how to mash it all together

Hey Dale could you do a video going over your gun and scope and load for the year and pattern it?

I never knew there was hen yelps vs gobbler/Jake yelps!!?? 😮 I gotta learn this.

Please don't teach people to this. There are way too many idiots who call in one 2 year old turkey and they think they are the greatest turkey hunter in the world. True, one person can go in and mess around every once in a while and no harm done. Now take the same patch of woods and about 20 idiots who think they know what they're doing. See what happens then.

Hey Dale if I have a very serious underbite will that affect my ability to use a diaphragm turkey call? I have tried to use them over the years and I wonder if the problem is my underbite.

Hey Dale

Got to be smart enough to try and or do something different and also try different calls and keep mental tough

Hey Matt, I've got a question for ya if I may..? I'll be traveling 5 hours away for my spring turkey hunt. If I do walk away with one what is your method for transporting your turkeys and how long do you have? I'll be camping. thanks Matt, charlie m.

Took my daughter for youth season that wind was so rough you couldn't hear nothing, went to a field saw a gobbler tried hen and gobbler yelpin he either couldn't hear us or want paying us no attention but she didn't want to go this morning she ant quiet for the fever yet

Do you have a video on how to gobbler/jake yelp?

I’ve tried a tube call recently, I ain’t the very best at it lol

if I'm in the shop planning wood or using the chain saw boy do they get worked up.. the back field is got behind me. offen times they come right by the shop or come across the front fields. they can really get worked up. I think it's to funny.

Promo sm

it is against the law to call before season in Kentucky says so in the fish and game rule book.

I'll be 100% honest with ya. Matt. This was the one myth that I believed for years until I heard you mention it in a video years ago. Then I actually tried it during preseason and then hunted the same birds during season & they came in to my calling. Turkey hunting myth BUSTED! Great video👍

Can you show how to get the tube call and how to use it
