3 of the most common mistakes Turkey Hunters make

Oh sitting still. I also thought we were discussing setting steel. LOL good tips thought

It's easy to tell in these comments who is from the south and who isn't. Southern guys like myself clearly heard "sitting still." 🤣

Got a turkey in the truck thanks to your videos, thanks for the lessons. Most important lesson though is Setting Steel or after about 20 minutes of wondering what the hell you were talking about "Sitting Still."

Brother you've taught more people who to really hunt than these so called pros have on TV. Thanks for keeping it real and not just try to sell something for profit. Although if you ever did start selling calls and such I'd be the first to buy it. Simply because I've learned so much from your advice that I know if it had your name on it, I could trust that it works.

LOL. Setting 'steel'. When Dale first said that, I admit, I was confused. I'm going to set steel and listen to the man now. Love our southern brothers. From a Yankee.

you are my hero, my friend!, after two years of no success doing wild turkey, decided to go over all your videos prior to this season, applied what i got from you and got my Tom, exactly as you said. Thank you so much and to me, you deserve an Oscar from the academy!! keep helping us please

Anyone else think we were supposed to know what "setting steel" meant for the first minute?

SO TOTALLY TRUE!!! Was in my blind one morning working a Tom when another hunter hears the conversation. He jumps out of his truck, doors slamming and barks off the loudest box call I think I've ever heard!!! Then , there were 3 hunters actually, that tried to catch up with him.... when the one hunter walked up on my previous blind and was looking to post up in it. Unfortunately had the Turkey actually came to my decoy, it would have been fatal for 3. Me, the turkey, and the other hunter. That's why I had to end the hunt, stand up and RIPPED INTO THIS BOZO!!! I asked him had he even listened to the woods before he started BARKING OUT HEN CALLS? Because the birds had been VERY QUIET since opening day.... I also gave him some more FREE ADVICE!!! Well, after letting that area calm down some (a couple days) I went back in to try and pull that STUBBORN TOM into my set..... Well, I got him to talk, but he was weary. He had (from what I figured) hung up just beyond me a few hundred yards. I like to setup at the top of hills so that by the time they have a chance to spot me, they are in range..... but this time I had a bump between me and him... So I crawled up to just behind the mound trying to mess with him some and spark some interest.... Well, not sure where he was, but I'm thinking he had finally started closing and SPOTTED ME!!! Because after that??? ALL COMMUNICATION CEASED!!! Thing is? I KNOW BETTER!!!! I guess I should state that I had like 6+ birds coming in for a week. I was filming the hunt, and connected with a Jake, and had a 10" Tom within 15'-20' away but couldn't get the camera moved without getting busted. So I let him walk..... I guess one thing to think about when calling is how do you like being talked to by a lover? SCREAMED AT!!!!! OR.... talked to sweet and softly???? GUESS WHAT??? ANIMALS ARE NO DIFFERENT!!!!

This is better advice than 99% of the stuff out there

I appreciated the clear, concise, straight-forward manner in which you went through these tips. I'm just now getting into hunting in my adult life. I hunted with my father as a kid, but not much turkey hunting, mostly rabbit. I've gotten a tremendous itch to hunt for no discernible reason. None of my friends hunt so I'm relying on information gathered from youtube and various hunting sites to help with my success, it's been slow going so far, but I'll continue to get as much info as I can and just get out there. Thanks much.

Educational. I enjoy the how to, rather then watch me. Thank you for the great information.

This is great guy! Not many left like him these days! Most of us in the south or out in the country talk this. Great video brother! You made sense to me!

Maybe all these folks correcting your grammar need to quit turkey hunting and start teaching American (English to all you professors). Thanks for your help, great video.

Been turkey hunting for a while but this is a great reminder video of the basics. I watched it before I went out today and it helped me tag a bird. Thanks for the good content.

Right on point hit every nail on the head good video

I was about to Google; "what does it mean to set more steel when hunting turkey", then I read the comments xD

hey Dale wishing you all the best this 2020 turkey season i bagged my first Tom last spring thanks to your great advice if u ever in Canada Quebec hit me up

Great video. I need to work on all of these and I just realized this trying to hunt late season. Nothing gobbling. But I got up to soon today and bumped one

Your number three had beaten me down more times than I could count...thankfully, the light bulb finally turned on a couple years ago!

I agree with all three pieces of advice. They are all right on. We are way to impatient now a days. Always start off by calling soft. You never know when a tom has snuck up behind you. When ready to get up and leave. Slowly look around everywhere. Remember that turkey has a periscope he uses to look over the crest of a hill before he comes in.
