Turkey Thumpers

In this webisode, I was hunting with my good buddy Blair Bennett. We were at our Osceola hunting club chasing gobblers with his bow. The hunt was 99% text book with some awesome video but as for the title you can guess what happened. Watch this video to see exactly what went down.

Tad and I are back to fulfill our 2 turkey limit during Florida's youth season. Watch these two young gobblers come into our decoys. Our decoy setup had them fired up and confused. Pay close attention as Tad shoots off the beard on one of them. Enjoy this hunt.

Now we open the season of Turkey Thumpers in Florida on opening youth weekend. Last year Tad got 2 birds during that weekend and we were trying to repeat this year. Watch this video as we get started on our weekend quest and try to stay warm in this unusual cold weather for Florida.

New show intro for the 2013 Season 3 of Turkey Thumpers. If this does not get you in the mood for turkey hunting then nothing will. Good luck and stay tune!

I can sum up this season in one word -- WOW! We had a great year and if you been following all our videos, I do not think you can argue against that. We captured 14 videos of 15 turkey kills in Florida, Georgia, and for our first time in Kansas.

Now Tad has killed 5 Osceola gobblers over the last 4 years (2 this year) but the Eastern turkeys have always seemed to stay out of his reach. He has had a couple of shots but missed both times in Mississippi.

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.

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.

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.
