Alright guys, the season's still a good ways off, and we need something to fill up the time and quench the thirst so to speak. So let's hear it, what's the best piece of turkey footage you have seen. Bonus point's if you can link to it somewhere in the interwebs!

Also, what is your favorite turkey hunting TV show? I've been watching Turkey Thugs lately. I give it an A-, would have scored better if they didn't call themselves "thugs" and if they didn't put so much filler in the show. Do you really have to spend 30 seconds introducing each of the staff every time they answer a question? All in all great footage, lots of shared knowledge, and they have a lot of fun.

CASH

A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands, love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper; his hands remember the rifle.

My favorite videos are the one's that I've filmed. No where near the quality of what you see on TV, but they have a lot of sentimental value to me.

Home vids or the late 80's primos vids. This is my favorite hen video.


I agree 100%

I grew up watching the early Truth About Spring Turkey Hunting videos. Those guys were my heroes. I wish they would upload that footage online so it wouldn't disappear. Still in my eyes some of the best turkey hunting footage ever filmed.

I've filmed some hunts myself, but I'm still deep in the learning phase. I love seeing how other guys set up shots and how they incorporate b-roll and music. When editing and filming, the details are what make the video.

Timberland. There was some sweet footage in those videos for sure! Thanks for sharing.

Turkey_slayer---someone should tell that hen she will never call in a gobbler.  She calls entirely too much and entirely too loud. :) ;) ;)

Hard to beat Ronnie and Chris. I personally would rather see a hunt as it happens. No music, no commercials, no fake stage scenes. I want it as it happens. That way I feel like i'm on the hunt as well.

Mr. Joe and his son Joey make a bunch of awesome videos and hopefully around the end of March we can tag team some long beard saggdaddys on film. I can't wait!

I agree with what you are saying brother as anyone who has videoed there own hunts knows, it is sometimes difficult to pack everything yourself and get it done.  When it comes together though it is very rewarding.  I just use a Sony Handycam but my footage is just for friends and family type viewing anyway.

There is a youtube icon under my user ID that will take you to all that i have posted to date.  I have a lot of others but have never shortened them up and did anything with them yet.  :anim_25: to anyone doing the self filming as it is both challenging and self rewarding.... :icon_thumright:
