Monday, May 30th, 2011Video of Young Bachelor Group of Bucks
Thursday, May 26th, 2011Chuck Campbell, a good friend of mine, caught this video of a young bachelor group of bucks on our hunting lease back in April.

Turkey Thumpers – Webisode 12: Hard Osceola Hunting
Thursday, May 5th, 2011This webisode kicks off our 2011 turkey season. As every year, we begin our season chasing Osceola gobblers in Florida on our lease. Watch the below videos to see what a hard time we had hunting this subspecies of turkey this year.
Reality Hunt Club – Webisode 7: FIRE!
Monday, April 25th, 2011In this episode, I show you video about how 25 acres of our lease land caught fire and burned. Luckily enough, we had a friend who called the community fire departments that contained the fire before all of our land and gear burned down. This is reality at its best.
Side note: The landowner called me and said he was going to burn next February to get rid of the orphan pine trees and as much of the additional undergrowth that might be fuel for future fires. This will stimulate new growth for the wildlife.
Reality Hunt Club – Webisode 6: Getting Ready for Turkey Season
Monday, April 18th, 2011In this episode we are going to talk about how we get ready for turkey season. Georgia turkey season runs from March 26th – May 15th this year with a bag limit of 3 mature gobblers. We talk about how we use trail cameras and scouting to locate gobblers and try to pattern them. We also discuss the other ways we get ready. Watch this video to understand our preparation.
Turkey Thumpers – Webisode 11: The Bearded Osceola Lady
Thursday, April 14th, 2011A fellow member of my Osceola Hunt Club, located in Hastings, Florida, informed me that he had seen a bearded hen back during deer season. I personally had only seen one other bearded hen during my 37 years on this planet and it was an Eastern turkey located in middle Georgia. So once I heard this, I filmed her coming into one of our feed stations.
PlotWatcher View: Jakes Breeding a Hen

Turkey Thumpers – Webisode 10: Hens Can Play Rough Too
Thursday, April 7th, 2011Now my Hazel Creek Jake has taken a beaten this year as normal, but I have been surprised at how hens and gobblers are taking out their frustration on my Hazel Creek Hen decoy. My Dad and I filmed a hen strutting in a dominant pose around my hen. She then slapped her with her wing and started to peck her a few times. Real cool video to watch.
