While turkey hunting on our lease in Georgia, we had 2 separate encounters with Jakes and our Hazel Creek decoys. Both of these encounters were funny and I thought I would upload the video for you guys to enjoy.

This is a promo of Buck Bennett challenging all Jr. Turkey Thumpers in the 2nd annual contest. Go to JrTurkeyThumpers.com for rules on how you can enter. Go to JrTurkeyThumpers.com for rules on how you can enter.

Now that Tad had killed a great turkey the day before, he talked me into letting him shoot another the next day since it was still Florida youth season. His excuse was that he wanted to win our 2nd Annual Jr Turkey Thumpers contest again (go to JrTurkeyThumpers.com for the rules) and since there were more people competing this year, he needed another turkey. Plus, he said it was fun to thump these birds. I told him sure. Watch this video of my 12 year old as he is quickly becoming a turkey slayer. Yes, I am a proud father.

For the past 2 years, Tad and I have started our season here in Florida chasing Osceola turkeys during youth season. Tad did not disappoint as he connects on this great bird first thing in the morning. This turkey had a 10″ beard with 1 1/4″ spurs. Watch the video of this great hunt.

This is a promo of three of our youth hunters that are going to participate in the 2nd annual contest. They are Josiah Roberson, Bekah Robinson, and Gabbie Campbell, last year’s runner up, challenging all you Jr. Turkey Thumpers out there. Go to JrTurkeyThumpers.com for rules on how you can enter.

This is our promotional video for our 2nd Annual Jr Turkey Thumpers Contest. You can watch last year’s webisode at: http://youtu.be/WwqiTQfKyv8

This year’s contest is open to everyone. There will be a grand prize to be determined later by me and Chuck. You do not have to kill a turkey to enter BUT we must have usable video to compile into a show if you want to be included.

Video must include:
* Introduction of the parent and the child hunter
* Smack talk segment on why the child is going to win
* Video of all of them hunting
* Turkey or multiple turkeys harvested by child (if lucky enough)
* Post hunt interview
* All children must be less than 18 years of age and all state game laws must apply.
* You must submit your tapes or digital copy by May 31st.

We are both excited about this contest because it gets the next generation of hunters out in the woods. So, grab that camera and take your kid to the turkey woods. You can email me at: toxiegivens@gmail.com if you have any questions or comments.

Good luck this season!

This is our new intro for Season 2 of Turkey Thumpers coming this spring…

We just finished our third year of hunting using Hazel Creek Decoys. I am sure by now you are tired of me preaching how well these decoys work. Watch this video to see how these decoys help us out during out 2011 season.

My son and Gabbie Campbell decided to have a contest on who could kill the most turkeys during the 2011 season. Both of these kids are 11 years old and getting them excited about hunting is very important to us. Chuck and I put this contest together and we then filmed them and put this video together. Watch it and you will be entertained by their experiences and youthful performances.
