Thanks!

There's always a risk involved with every decision. I feel like the decision I made there isn't going to end like that very often. I plan to get back to the reWork stuff once I'm finished with the season. Thanks for following along!

Thanks! And I agree. Those kind will make you pull your hair out. I was proud it came together. I love all of them. But I really love those that make me suffer a little.

Absolutely. I plan to get back to the reWorked videos as soon as I complete the season. It's a bit much trying to get these cleaned up and doing those as well. I hope you stick around.

I did not. I included all the calling that I did to that gobbler in the video. With the knowledge I'd gathered from him on our previous 2 meetings, I knew if that didn't peek his interest then more calling would only hurt the situation.

That's the little vlogger I carry around. It's a Canon G7X Mark ll.

Usually it's all dark for me, I can't tell you cumulatively how many miles I've felt my way through the woods in the dark attempting to get in the perfect spot before daybreak. I use a red light sometimes but normally that's sparingly. And whether I sit or stand all depends on the situation. If I'm confident I'm tight, I'll settle and prepare in case daylight puts him eyesight. If I'm on a high knob listening and I know there isn't a chance for one to be above me I'll stand for better listening. Thanks for watching!

Thank you man, I appreciate the help.

I did not. You heard all the calling I did to that gobbler during the video. I'd learned a little about his ways with the previous 2 mornings. I knew if the calling I did had not peeked his curiosity then it wasn't going to happen. That's when things got "coyote."

I'm unsure how to put this politely so I'll just say it. You're wrong. Not only wrong, but very wrong. Under no circumstances would I ever condone the use of bait for turkeys. And especially because you need to "keep them in your small plot." Firstly, baiting turkeys is illegal in nearly all states with few exceptions (Texas and maybe KS come to mind.) Secondly, the name of the game is to convince a gobbler into a place using woodsmanship and calling- bait plays no part in that. We all face challenges, property lines are one of those. Adapt and overcome, don't rely on some cheat code. My apologies if that seems harsh. But I have no sympathy for someone who baits turkeys. You can bait your deer all day every day, I don't care. But wild turkeys- a being that only functions in the light of day- baiting is not acceptable.

@@pinhotiproject Well Dave, your welcome to take the position you have, as long as you know all the facts. But you know as well as I do, there are hundreds of situations that can present themselves while turkey hunting. Of course, shooting a turkey OVER a bait pile is reprehensible and that is NOT what I am describing here. In your videos, you demonstrate that you put a lot of miles on every year walking through the woods looking for turkeys. Basically, you are trying to find a place where turkeys are feeding on acorns, bugs, worms etc. or other natural foods. They could even be in a cut cornfield feeding on the corn that was left on the ground after mowing. Once you locate the spot, you set up and try to call a bird in, but don't forget the tom was in the area chasing hens that were feeding on something. Where I hunt, the plots that hold turkeys are very small (often less that a couple of acres) and they are often near houses or posted land where gun hunting is also impossible or at least very difficult. Consequently, the wild turkeys have the freedom to roam from one small area to another searching for food. In these situations, one strategy to increase ones opportunity to engage with these birds is to provide the food they are looking for. This is usually done by scattering a few handfuls of whole corn or bird food around the area and monitoring it with a trail camera. The idea is not to shoot the turkeys over a bait pile, but to give them a reason to gravitate to your area as opposed to another. I hope this explains my position a little clearer Dave, but having watched many of your videos I think you clearly know what I'm talking about. I've killed a great many turkeys with both the gun and the bow and I can honestly tell you that I have NEVER shot one over a bait pile.
