Since I was tagged out in Kansas, I videoed Chuck’s last gobbler. I enjoyed hunting with him and I am not going to get too much into the story here because he covers it in the video intro. I am going to add that I was upset when he let this gobbler initially walk off due to the weather coming. Now it rained off and on while we were there, but after this hunt it rained straight for 5 days and I was afraid he let a great bird and opportunity walk away. Enjoy this video and if you listen closely you can hear us going back and forth as to what we think should happened.
This is the same evening that I shot my bird in the clover when Chuck Campbell connected on his first Kansas bird. He had his decoys setup and it enticed the bird across this huge Kansas field. One more thing to add is to pay attention to how this turkey flops when he shoots him. He put all the shot in his head on this very windy day. Enjoy the video.
Now this is the evening hunt of the same day I had killed my first Kansas bird. Mike had me sitting in this mixed clover field that was up to my waist. I would say this was the most stressful hunt of the year for me. Watch the video to see what happens next.
I had not planned on traveling to hunt turkeys this year until Chuck twisted my arm and said he needed someone to go back to Kansas with him since he did not kill his birds with a bow. Mike Wheeler, of Wheelers Whitetails, was nice enough to invite him back and let him drag me along. Well, I will be honest. After editing Gabbie’s two turkey kills, it was not hard for me to make up my mind to go.
The first morning, I was hunting in a tent as a bad weather front was moving in. Mike said the gobblers like to cruise this small field that connects two bigger fields together, and boy was he right! Watch this video to see what happens.
This year we decided to put a couple of gravity/nudge feeders on the club. We shopped around but could not find one we liked, nor could afford, so we decided to buy all the components and put them together ourselves. After we put them out, the majority of the deer have yet to figure out how to use it, so as of mid April, we are just going to run corn in them. Maybe next year all the deer will be using them and we can use a high protein supplement feed. Until then, we will wait until they figure it out.
Watch the video as I go over all of this and show your some trail camera video of our deer interacting with these feeders.
This is the last in a 3 part series where Ms. Gabbie Campbell has been proving how good a turkey thumpers she is becoming. They returned from Kansas and decided to give Georgia another try. They had a score to settle with these GA gobblers. Chuck roosted a gobbler and they sneaked back in the field at 10:00 pm to put a tent up. Then the next morning, the gobbler came from behind the tent following a hen. Not the best video due to how the hunt unfolded, but still a good hunt and great shot by Gabbie. Watch this webisode to see for yourself.
Now in the last webisode you saw Gabbie Campbell get her first bird. In this hunt, Chuck and Gabbie are still in Kansas trying to get a double, Chuck with his bow and Gabbie with her gun. They had 2 nice gobblers come in. Watch the video to see who connected and who did not. Hint, congratulations Gabbie!
Chuck and his 12 year old daughter, Gabbie, have been hunting hard in both Florida and Georgia but were coming up short. They then went on a road trip to Kansas for youth weekend and they got her first bird. This gobbler strutted for hours before finally committing to their setup. Watch this video to see how this story unfolds.
It has been about a month since we have released a Reality Hunt Club
webisode. Some of you might wonder what we have been doing. Well, we have been thumping turkeys on our club. Watch this video for some of our hunts and our management conclusions about this year’s turkey season.
Side Note: You can watch all of these hunts in their full length and more at TurkeyThumpers.com.
Now every year I enjoy hunting with my good friend Bill Vincent. I took him 2 years ago to get his first turkey and we have been going ever since. You can watch that hunt here. This year he came up and we had a hard time getting a mature bird in gun range during the first few days. I always joke with him that the years he kills a nice buck, he normally gets a turkey. Last year he did not get a buck, plus the weather was bad during turkey season and the gobblers were all henned up.
