👊

I highly recommend a muzzle break. I put on on this offseason and it's a game-changer!

Outside of Ketchikan

Thank you!!

Who is that?

Since the blackhills is over a million acres and bigger than some states it’s not being to descriptive lol if you can guess where this was within 30 miles I send you a box of tss

Sometimes she “breaks” but only after the shot never on the shot call. There is a big difference there, but yea breaking can be dangerous in the wrong setup and especially if you are hunting with people that you shouldn’t be hunting with. I will say in River current like this you are likely to loose birds if you don’t send your dog right away….no lost birds here and after 6 years of thousand bird seasons my dog is still around the tell the tale. 👊

Yea that was definitely getting old…believe it or not my buddy has fixed that in his dog with a bark collar and a couple hunts just focused on trainning

That happens….Colorado is a tough state

Me either that’s why it pays to have a friend more patient than you lol

After looking at it zoomed in and in slomo about 1000times I think it was actually off the front shoulder and down the side of the body. Doesn’t matter in the end… I didn’t recover it until the next season when my buddy found its deadhead about 1/4 mile away.

​@HoltzOutdoors you ever need a hunting buddy. I'll be there

Depends on the scout but as the flocks build later in the year we toss bigger spreads. I would say or standard spread is 12 dozen

Up on the mountain, good luck!

Thanks Tee! I know you appreciate a good pair of footwear 😂

It what world would this be illegal? If you are thinking distance from road I can ease your mind it was a closed two track on 100% private land

@HoltzOutdoors in GA that bird would be the husband's kill He should not of even had a gun in his hand after his tagged his limit

@@jamesshockley4311are you telling me in GA if you shoot a deer or turkey and it’s laying on the ground kicking about to expire and someone else comes and puts it out of its misery they get to tag it? I have a really hard time believing that…and if that is legally true you should really work with your legislature to follow to rest of the country and adopt the rule of first blood.

fortunately James is correct in all 50 states, if you tag out on turkey you as you accompany some else on their harvest and you are tagged out you can not posses a gun or even handle that weapon it’s the responsibility of the person who shot the bird to complete the harvest if it’s not completely expired. So since you completed the kill he is right that’s your bird. I like your videos and watch everyone

Since you were nice in your criticism and I believe you to be sincere I will respond. 1. There is absolutely nothing illegal about this. The bird was clearly dieing and sprawled out, unable to move. I simply put it out of its misery which I don’t not regret and would do 100 times over 2. research rule of first blood and honestly ask yourself if you would want me to follow your advice if this were opposite I.e what if I shot first and had her finish an already dead bird and had her put her tag on it….Everyone would loose their mind because that would be wrong. 3.As a guide for an outfitter you are encourage to do the same thing for your clients to avoid loosing game that will Parrish anyways and not be tagged if not recovered 4.I am not going to lie my wife was really shook up and has never had to deal with anything like this before so I took the most ethical route and finished an already dead bird. My hope is this didn’t ruin hunting for her as it was only her third hunt ever. I hope this better explains things and if you are an experienced hunter taking out a youth or novice you take the same actions I did :)

Only one shotgun tag but you can also get an archery bird. There are also draw units that are technically prairie but they stretch up into or near the black hills :)

Thanks!

you are spot on there!

Thanks

sometimes its unavoidable and you need to do what you need to do!

We could see the bird clear as day and we had been casing it for half a mile. He had multiple chances to take it, but waited until right before we are about to be on the public boundary. If I am being completely honest we had better shot opportunities earlier. So waiting isn't always the best option.

I hunt roughly 8 states every year for turkeys. There are definitely places where I would never hide behind a reaper decoy. Colorado is much better than places like the south both for hunting pressure and the denseness of cover. No matter the state I will never use one by a road. However, in this case we were 3 miles up a mountain and there were no trucks at the trailhead and no other access points to this location so I wasn't too worried. Like everything you just need to be smart about it.

thank you!

👊

thanks. I hope you are getting them!

Not to bad for self filming on this one, appreciate the kind words :)

Thanks 👍

I am going to ask you the same question I ask to very few people who make this comment: what state do you live in?

Standing shot while huffing and puffing after running up a hill. good job indeed!

Thanks 👍

Yes, TSS is no joke I got another yote this is with the 20ga TSS at 80 yards. As long and you are on the head and neck its lights out.

Thanks fellas :)

This one was a piece of private.

On this one yes. There was a birm in front of us so if she broke it would have made it extremely dangerous.

Lot's of scouting my friend and that is a group effort! People don't realize how much work it is, but when it comes together there is nothing more beautiful. Another thing people get confused about is the idea of a "spot" I almost never hunt the same place twice. You will never get a true banger if you do go to where the ducks already are and have been long enough to build.
