 Welcome home back to the channel everybody and to the awesome great outdoors We are here at the deer lease and it's time to do some turkey hunting Hopefully on this trip. We're gonna be able to get my first turkey ever. I don't know what it is y'all. I've been out Plenty of times especially the last three years. I've gone out. I have been unsuccessful I think part of the problem is I go for a day or two and then the turkeys off and then I get to thinking about all These bass are up in the shallows. I get all excited and I'm like I'm going back to fishing I can't I can't stand it any longer another challenge I've been presented this year is actually finding a shotgun shell For turkeys to be able to go to go hunting. I've got plenty of double loads at home I've been to a bunch of different places trying to find some turkey loads. I'm very Limited luckily I got my buddy mullet man. He's coming up here. I think he's gonna have have some shells Hopefully if not, I'm gonna have to use my bow just pulling up here within 30 minutes I've already heard goblers off over the ravine over here That is more action than I have seen in three years of turkey hunting here at the lease. I've deer hunted I've pig hunted out here. We've seen turkeys on cameras. We've heard them while we've been Deer hunting and things like that. So we know that there's turkeys out here one of the first things I'll ask you on this video if you guys watch my previous videos with Jimmy Houston going up to his ranch Man great great guy great family Really if you guys don't know his wife Chris Both of them are in the bass fishing Hall of Fame and she actually had a stroke recently So I would just ask that you put Chris into your prayers if you're of the praying type Second thing I'll ask is check out all the new dangler merch at googinsquad.com We got a bunch of new dangler gear up there And if you guys want to get anything on googinsquad.com it is 10% off use code Lfg now it is time to at least go get a little preview What's happening out here in the woods these things right here snake gators? I just bought some I hope they dad gum work because there are some rattlesnakes out here, and I hope we don't run into any One of my biggest worries is Finding a turkey goblers coming in you're sitting on the ground base of an oak tree And then all of a sudden you look over and there's rattlesnake crawling right next to your butt It happens in Texas y'all, so let's get out there in the woods. Let's look for some antlers. Let's listen for some goblers Keeping mine also socket calling So they maybe won't respond to this Wouldn't be Texas without some armadillos around. I was thinking these oak trees might be a good nesting spot roosting spot for Haven't seen any feathers yet. See lots of old rubs. It's like a good spot to find some antlers That is a deer right there. Is that a deer? Is that a cougar? You know, that's a cactus. Okay false alarm Where I heard the goblers was not far from here, so I'm gonna give it another shot nothing to do with what noise Is I'm making. Here's the box blime where I got my big deer this year And the infamous pond deer was hanging around here for a while But there's these nice open areas I think this is where I heard those turkeys earlier The pond is just back in there Third armadillo spotted little buddy just getting some grubs some yellow gummies Have you seen any turkeys man? Can you point me in the right direction? Okay, you're a weird little creature. It appears that there's a water source here that I did not know about This is a spring coming out of the ground right here Runs down eventually goes to the lake down there Hidden spring Well turkeys will be turkeys. Am I right? I'm apparently doing something wrong So I didn't hear any gobbles Maybe it was my position up here on this ridge. I could just hear so good, but I felt pretty confident I was in the same area. I walked a Good, you know half a mile maybe a now probably even like a mile down there and back they have quieted up So what I'm gonna do now. I'm just gonna kind of chill here. I'm gonna build a fire and I'm gonna wait till I hear them again this evening Hopefully hopefully I hear them this evening and then I can really pinpoint and then we're gonna get up and Do this thing in the morning. So we'll We'll keep the shotgun ready just in case something crazy happens They come out here. I know we've seen them on feeder cameras as well, but I Think they're really gonna utilize these open areas out here That seems like where they were around and maybe I just need to get out the binos You know do a little glass and do a little listening this evening, but no sheds either Just no luck this moment All right, I got a little oak from home part of what I do when I'm messing around with knives. I just You know I split wood. I make feather sticks stuff like that Tenders I keep them in here. I mean they stay super dry. So anytime I need them They're gonna be ready to go. We've had a really dry a couple of weeks So I went ahead and split some ash The other night when I was playing around with a new knife It's really funny. Amy comes out there and she plays with these sticks too. Like she has the same obsession, but I usually get a knife every month by the way, it's a s45 v in steel which I Didn't own so now I own one and one of the things I wanted to see with it is how how good it would Strike fire steel some cedar from home. I'm just gonna crunch this up Some people might think this is a like pain in the butt part of camp, but I I love it. I like not carrying any gasoline or any you know like Normal fuel sources to light big fires. I just like I like to lighten them like this The old fashion way it's a good way to do it. It's good. It's good to learn Come on. There it is. I'll take it. She going That is a gorgeous sight right there y'all campfire lit Sun going down and as sure as I sit here before you we got our second sign of Turkey That happens to be a turkey feather sitting right here at deer camp. There's a whole lot more About ten yards away. So apparently someone has Gotten a turkey out here.

Oh, yeah You have to clean your first turkey right right got to do it The one we just cleaned had had some injuries, which is crazy. It's like green inside But the way I'm thinking correct me if I'm wrong and walk me through this here dude But like a dove, but you got some extra skin to get through you can't just like yeah You gotta cut your first little initial. All right, so You got to think I see things are in the wild just It's easier savages. It's easier if you get that tail out of the way I'll go ahead and get just so you're not crunching it up. All right. So so step one How far do we go back in here? Oh, I always grab it like this and start cut from the back from from the bottom. Yeah, so rear end. Yep Feel that we're just gonna find hump. Yep Just cut on that hump and then you'll your knife will find where it needs to go. I hope My lovely turkey humps Check it out Now come from the side and just cut across Yeah The knife will find its place perfect. Let's see it This is the fan beautiful And I'm a fan that will like so whenever I Do the turkey fans? You actually like wet them down with soap and water and then blow-dry them and when you blow-dry them all these little kinks We'll just go to perfect Dude, just know the ways. Yeah, the ways Okay, so we got our beard which you know, this isn't a real old turkey, but He's still got a little beard action. So I'm gonna cut it just right about there and You know, maybe save that for a little Little paintbrush or hairbrush for something right make a little make a little leather tassel and hang it off the end of your Knife, dude a dangler for it. Yeah, good idea like we're heads up All right, and now We'll get into the tasties So I'm just gonna make a little cut here Run it up. Hopefully that's gonna come apart. We're not gonna get to Feathery There we go. It's like we got a decently healthy bird. Oh Yeah, nice healthy leg Kind of won't take the whole thing, but I Don't know the skin's coming off a little easier than I anticipated Young bird you might be able to I'm just gonna have to get around the wing Yeah, you cut the wings off cut that wing and then we've got all the other Inwards everything now for those new to turkey hunting Well, we're aiming at a turkey. You're shooting them in the face you know, it's one of the The few animals that you just you go straight at that noggin and pull the trigger And you don't want to ruin your meat. Looks like we got a couple of pellets up here but I mean they got a thick old tough neck and head and They're they're a tough bird. So Anyway, just if you're new to it. That's where you that's where you aim There we go Take it to the taxidermist, baby. It's ready That is the turkey cape essentially. Yeah and There's what we're left with others here a little tail feather off here, buddy. Just got to get some of the Some of the innards out and then we'll be able to take that home to the fam throw it on the pellet grill and Have some deliciousness. I've got the whole Dagum caboodle right there. So I took the the innards out It's all nice and clean. It's ready to be cooked I'll probably end up taking these legs off a little later when I throw it on the smoker and maybe do something separate with those because I know they're just really tough meat, but This is the flayed version. That's Mike's right there Those are from later. So literally after years of turkey failure finally come out here and Get it done and it worked out so perfect where we heard those birds last night They ended up being there.
