After tagging out in Kansas, Philip and Jacob packed up and headed to South Dakota.  Just as they got to where they were supposed to meet up with a guy to show them where to hunt, he called and said he was stuck back home in Alabama and wasn’t going to be able to make [...]

The morning after Philip and Donnie’s kill.  Jacob got set up on a bunch of gobbling birds roosted just on the edge of a field.  Donnie got behind Jacob again just like the first hunt and started calling lightly.
Just as good daylight started to break, a long beard jumped off the limb and landed 20 [...]

The morning after Jacob killed his turkey, Donnie Sr. shot a bird just off the roost that did perfect for the camera.  The bird had just quit flopping when Donnie Jr. and Philip were off to try and double up on another group of birds.
The next field over, there were eight long beards in a [...]

Mr. Donnie Fugate of Aspen Ridge Outfitters invited us out to their place to turkey hunt just outside of Hays, Kansas and to say they have birds would be an understatement.  Everywhere we went there were turkeys!
We were only on the property about an hour with winds blowing 30-40 miles/hour when Donnie let out a [...]

This morning we decided to head a place where we had been seeing and hearing 4 long beards together almost every morning.  Every time we hunted them they do the exact same…  Gobble early, fly down early and always go in the opposite direction of our calling.  The good news was there was another bird [...]

We got set up on birds at daylight right off the limb.  We set up, Philip tree yelped once and the birds gobbled and pitched down and came right to us… Text book.  Too good to be true.  Jacob was filming and even though the birds got 10 yards away, Jacob never could see them. [...]

This week we had the privilege of taking Ronnie “Cuz” Strickland hunting on our property and we can honestly say we learned more this week than we usually learn all year.

The first day we hunted it rained all morning till about 2:00.  As soon as the rain broke we went and set up on a [...]

We hunted this morning and heard a few birds but couldn’t get anything to work.  As we started to head out, we saw a big group of eight strutters with a bunch of hens.  We thought there is no way we will call those birds from their hens, but we did know that when is [...]

Philip’s turkey had barely quit flopping when it was Jacob’s turn to pick up the shotgun and Philip’s turn to run the camera.  We grabbed Philip’s Alabama long beard and hunted a few more hours with no success and decided to go grab some lunch.

When we came back, we topped the hill where Philip had [...]

 It seems that every hunter in the world seems to have a passion about a certain animal that they like to hunt. For us, we like it all, but if someone was twisting our arm to make a decision, it would have to be turkey season.
To us, March [...]
