Gobble, Gobble… Thanksgiving might be long gone, but it looks like some turkeys may have made it through. It's time for you to change that in Turkey Hunt. Ryan from TheDigitalLifestyle.tv gives his review.

Its going to be my 1st year of turkey huntin i got 2 doe last year but turkey hunting is a whole different game.

I have a list of "never" hunted turkeys before and I need help tips:

#1 Don't blow a wad of cash on new style hunting camo. Use stuff from Wal-Mart. Be sure to have gloves and a face mask.

#2 You don't have to be 10 miles deep into the forest to hunt turkeys. Turkeys love farm fields and cow pastures as well. Just remember that turkeys love tall trees to roost on. They will normally roost in the tallest trees around. So don't set up beneath the tallest stand of trees around or when you hit your call first thing in the morning they will sight in on you and fly the other way. Set up a couple of hundred yards from them.

#3 You can hunt with basically any shotgun that throws a good pattern at 40 yards will do. I have a Mossberg 835 Ulti-Mag with an extra full choke. I use 3 1/2 magnum shells in #5 or #6 turkey shot. A cheap New England Firearms single shot will work. Just make sure it has a modified or tighter choke.

#4 Don't skimp on a good box call. It is the easiest call to use and learn and it can make lots of good turkey sounds. The second call to get is a good slate call. I prefer real slate. Some people use glass. Lots of turkey hunters use mouth calls but I don't advise it for a novice.

#5 Don't use gobble calls. They will get you shot.

#6 If hunting in the woods, sound off your call a few minutes after sun up. Locate the direction the gobbler is and move quickly but quietly a 1/3 to 1/2 the distance you believe him to be and sit down. Wait a few seconds and call again. The fact that you closed in on him will help assure him that you are in fact a hen. She will come to him normally. Since she came closer to him, he will usually come closer to her. Early in the season hens may come in before him and bust you out. And early in the season he may be hung up on hens early in the morning and he may never come.

#7 If your going to try decoys you should find a place you believe them to be "hot" in and set up. I know the guys on tv set up on the run but they take 30 hours of film for the one shot that works. Set up and sit it out.

#8 Hunt the whole day. Especially early and halfway through the season. As the hens get mated they will go to roost. This will free up mature toms by mid morning.

Theres a million more tips but these will help. I will post a link to the National Wild Turkey Federation web site. They have actual turkey sounds on audio clips you can listen to to help with your calling.

Good luck.

I am looking to buy my first 12 gauge shotgun and i need some sugestions

While a pump is not necessary for turkey, it is more versatile. I recommend a Mossberg 500 (or 500 Bantam) for their features:

* Drilled and Tapped – All 12 and 20-gauge models feature a drilled and tapped receiver, factory-ready for scope base and optics installation.
* Quality ques – a combination of dual extractors, twin action bars, positive steel-to-steel lock-up, and anti-jam elevator combine for reliable, smooth operation.
* Ported barrels – select 12 and 20-gauge barrels are factory ported for reduced muzzle jump and felt recoil.
* Fiber optic sights – fully adjustable front and rear fiber optic sights standard on all turkey models – perfect for use in low light conditions.
* Choke tubes – Interchangeable Accu-Choke tube set and wrench and X-Full choke tubes included on select models.
* Turkey features – XX-Full extended choke offered on select turkey models.
* Free gun lock and a 10-year limited warranty
* Made in USA
* Affordable at under $338 MSRP

If money is no object, try a Beretta A391 Xtrema2 Camo KO (MSRP $1,700), a Browning NWTF GOLD Ultimate Turkey (MSRP $1,513), or a Winchester Super X3 NWTF Cantilever Extreme Turkey (MSRP $1,399).

I figure the pattern would be fine, but I've read turkies can see into the ultra-violet…do you think military camo would any more or less obvious than regular camo? I'm thinking about buying a set of the digital camo for spring turkey season.

I'd advise you to buy woodland BDU's (also Army-made) over any of the Army digital stuff. Woodland BDU's blend in better with the specific woodland background (the ACU digital pattern is more general purpose) than digital, but the woodlands-specific digital pattern wouldn't be any worse for concealment than woodland BDU's. The big downside to me is that the digital stuff is thinner and, thusly, not as warm or tough as BDU's.

As far as them seeing you via ultraviolet light, just don't wash your turkey clothes. If they get really nasty and HAVE to be washed, there is detergent specifically made for hunting clothes that doesn't contain UV brighteners (those make the clothes more noticeable in the UV spectrum).

My grandfather has hunted for years using Army camo, and has had as good of success with it as from commercial camo. Which is saying a lot. He has killed so many turkeys that he keeps their beards in two shoeboxes, one of which is filled up to the brim, and the other of which is about halfway full. We're talking about over 100 turkeys here.

In my much more limited experience, crows (which can see just as well as turkeys, but are even more intelligent) can't see me with Army camo on either, as well as a hen turkey that walked within five feet of me.

Nice turkey hunt out back behind farmer Joe’s turned ugly when a lady down the street didn’t like the sound of gun shots. She called the cops and the farmer/landowner (shown in video) tried telling the officer that the boys had permission, but he didn’t want to hear it.

Check out the site for more of our clips..
I’m not posting this video to show the greatest turkey hunt ever or to portray new york’s finest in a bad way, i just thought it was hilarious and wanted to share it with some others who might enjoy as well.
