good morning




it's April 2nd Georgia opener they pushed into April this year which

is necessary if it helps turkeys can't be a bad thing

um I'm heading over here to a little east-central spot so let's do it

you ready I am you have plenty of coffee don't need it

I'm going to miss sorry hmm ain't gonna miss are you don't plan

on it all right you found a few birds over here got a few

 all right we'll see what we can see what my caller can do this

morning see if we can muster up yeah all right well howdy-do

me and Saxon rolling out here it's the second of April

it's a little chilly in it 43 degrees a little nippy she got some 

nelly going on there hopefully, we'll be shaking some tail

feathers diddy is that what that is hmm see what else 

I got pop pits from The 2010s

right here all right show me um what's up here

all right get up the way the gobblers like to hang

upright here but uh this seems to be the ticket all right 

you don't want to just start there in the back

we're going to start on this road turn off your tempo lines

 just that cat come on let's see if some man's telling

the truth satellite what does it like a cat-dog legs body

head tail birds like to reach in there last year

it looks like a pointer like an Irish setter

good morning folks, it's officially opening day

2022 Georgia home state private land opener

I think we've already covered that topic

but uh we're what we're doing is we're walking to the 

very very back of this place because we want to start 

from the very very back the reason being

is because it's a lot easier to hunt back when you've 

already can make swings and moves easier

if you've got a lot more land to work with

more real estate to attack from that's kind 

of what we're doing probably stop we get to a high point

here we'll listen but we want to be in

the middle of everything

all right we made it down here another

400,300 yards

we're just trying to figure out a good

setup on these turkeys I think they're

probably a solid 400 in there

but I don't know but it's the same turkeys

that was up towards the gasoline okay

all right let's do two different groups

just turn three

I don't know which one you want to go to

I think we go to the back and then hit

these on the way out

you know what I'm saying

I said we'll start at the back

because I mean what do you think those

turkeys this is your place I've never

been here

where are those turkeys they've been a

good spot last year they never reached

it's anywhere up there I just always

roosted here

let these turkeys melt around we'll

strike these later let's go to the back

yeah

it's been a little harem scarf I think

both me and Saxon

heard so many turkeys we didn't know

which one to go to

so what we're going to do is kind of

slow play it

we'll come up to a high point where we

can hear all these turkeys and we're

just going to sit

and just listen until something

with a little bit more

regularity

yeah

so here we are

kind of what you're seeing here is

a gas line a food plot and a food plot

400 to the gas line 300 to that food

plot 400 to this one

we're just sitting here on this high point

and uh we're kind of just like waiting on our

tan our chance at the dance floor because right now

uh

hens have got the dance floor pretty occupied

and whenever that joker starts gobbling

in one of those food plots

those high points on the gas line

that's when it's our time to

make tracks

but if we just go barreling out through

here

we're just gonna spook a bunch of

turkeys

just gonna let it develop slowly

and just be patient

all right so we've been sitting here

slow playing turkey just

turkey just cop

we're gonna wait

see if he hits it again

he needs to hit it a few more times for a week

get up listen to me listen to me

we need to get right on this rise right

here he's in that hardwood dream

just follow me get ready get your gun up

hey look at me you need to face this way

 so you can swing because your barrel is 

pointing to the left your arrow needs to

 be pointing straight down that road,

 I'm scared  to look at me

turn on the tree so you can face right

down the road

look

you know what you mean yeah

go ahead quick

just hold it right there I just can't

shoot through this little branch that's

okay you can shoot through that

the sun

uh

do not move

slowly here he comes

did you really see him he saw you you're

moving you didn't see him yes

I'm not throwing Saxon under the bus

we had a little miscue

we sat down to this turkey

he was

The last time he gobbled he was

300. hit the wing bone in that direction

behind us

like one hiccup series of yelps

and no sooner than we had got settled in

this little clump

I hear a spitting drum-like

very audible

and I knew he was close

he was right behind this cedar

he's right behind the cedar

you can see you saw it on the

video I don't know how the joker didn't

bolt immediately when you moved

because it was a lot of movement right

there but Saxon

didn't it was a miscommunication

he didn't realize the turkey was right

on top of us so he moved his gun

way too fast

turkey just stood there looking

and then all of a sudden was like oh

crap I need to get out of here

so we're gonna let the turkey calm down

and we probably go check some other

stuff and see if we can raise him back

up

all right

I just called

the turkey

made a big loop around us

he's out here on this power line

he's swinging around us he just gobbled

over here

we did a 180 on the tree

try to call them out off this road

I'm not

all

right it's that hand coming out

this is a different gobbler

that had hens off the limb

and

he sent out his little centurion

to check things out

there's a little lookout

she popped out of the road

y'all saw that whole debacle

she clucked a little bit

maybe a half putt

a time or two and he gobbled

we're gonna I'm making a huge loop in

here

we were way back over there

we are way back over there

making a big loop all the way back

around this gas line

I beat the turkeys to the castle

all right

we were set up on the cross here

right there

went all the way back around we made a

big loop

we're swinging in on the backside

where this turkey's at

well that was a bust

that's where we were set up

on the edge of that road, we made a huge

loop all the way around

I thought the turkeys would be on the

power line

the gas line they weren't so we're gonna

walk our whole way back and just

hit this whole box call

different sounds if we can raise

something up
