Beautiful Woodlands! Great hunt! Love the sound of the wing bone Turkey Call!! Thank you for sharing! My kinda living! ❤
We are blessed to live in such a beautiful area. The best part of the wing one call is one can sound unique when most of the hunters are using box calls that all sound pretty much the same. It is the secret to bringing in the Tom’s.
The hunting part was so funny 🤣 with in seconds that bird was as stiff as board ,,,,,,,,
He should have a television show, I'm surprised at all the stuff I'm learning by watching his videos
Peter is Not Deep State !
He is a fine example of how all people should be.
He doesn't need TV
thanks again Pete for letting us drop in,take care be safe
Ich Bewundere den Mann,der noch so Aktiv ist und soviel Baut und Gestaltet.Meine Hochachtung für soviel Energie und Tatendrang.
Sein Einfallsreichtum ist schier unersättlich.Sehr gut und schön,Auf ein langes Leben,auf das Er es noch lange Genießen darf.
Fürs Feuer würde Ich mir ein Dreibeinig Gestell mit Gitter bauen,das ist besser fürs Kochen und Braten,Es steht alles besser.
Fascinating episode. I enjoy this channel and listening to your knowledge so much. Thank you so much for sharing. And thank you for a slightly longer episode. I really appreciate all your time and effort. Be Blessed
I’m glad you’re enjoying Christian.
I used Irish linen on my Civil War boots very interesting on the turkey wing well thank you for this video
Our pleasure Bobby, we have a lot of fun producing this channel.
I'm loving these episodes, compulsive viewing! Very interesting to know these turkey calls date back so long. I suggest they were first 'invented' when one of our early ancestors eating his/her meal made a noise sucking the marrow from the bone, they or one of their companions recognised it could be useful, and then refined it by making the tube longer and broader at one end.
That is great theory sir … sucking the marrow. You may not needed be spot on.
meant… you may indeed be spot on.
@@TheWoodlandEscape Thank you. And very likely a child; I picture a youngster prancing round the group making squawking noises.
You’ve given me my evening laugh and for that, I thank you, sir!
You are certainly crafty sir. Keep it coming.
I’ve had people say I’m a bit crafty but, I don’t think they meant in an artisan way, lol. Thank you.
Jon Townsend did a reading from a hunting journal today. The hunter said he kept a turkey bone in his pocket, and simply sucked on this to attract turkeys. For the sake of people in extremis, I have to wonder how that worked. Not as well as yours, of course, but still something good to learn.
I find the wing bone call to work the best. Every other hunter sounds the same , but you can stand out with the old method.
Beautiful cabin! I'd love to have one just like that.
So much to learn, you are a great teacher.So full of information
Thanks for your kind compliment.
Thank you for this new lesson. Awesome!
Love your sign!
Fine information and scenery on this one. I LOVE the thought of waxed Irish linen. I use bees wax often in seasoning cast iron and in lubricating fabric and leather.
I too use bees wax on my leather but, never thought of it for seasoning cast iron. Thanks for sharing.
James ellsworth...
That's interesting.. I had to look it up. We use cast iron a lot and season with animal fat. Well be giving it a try.
That is 1 beautiful rustic cabin
Fantastic video. The sounds of nature and the creek. And so great to see nothing on the bird wasted. Good eating.
awesome episode. It is amazing how someone could come up with the wing bone turkey call! Hope you make a video showing off your bow and arrow!
Thank you. Off topic but, give your name on here, are you familiar with the Foxfire series of books … a wealth of information.
Thankyou Creator 🙌💞💫
Thankyou to the Turkey Clan
Great to hear u give a history lesson from some one that ran around South Carolina, my home state. I loved that story when i was a kid in the scouts. My scout master was a history buff and told us stories around the camp fire like that.
Now that ive watched the entire video i am thank full to people like u that study and continue the old ways. Im so happy i stumbled on to your channel.
Glad your enjoying BP.
I love the bit about waxed Irish linen. Best wishes and blessings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Great video not only the hunt but the details you shared when making the turkey call. Thank you,
Happy to share with like minded people Scott.
Yes it iis😊
Great video you two, very interesting. I do agree, turkey hunting is much more interesting than chinking, great harvest Peter. Keep up the good work.
Another awesome video Peter. Thanks for sharing and telling your stories!!
I lost my wing bone call in up state Pennsylvania this year. I kept it in my hat band. Should have had a lanyard....nice video. Congratulations!
That was awesome with making the turkey call there eh! I will try this some day thanks for sharing...
You are a lucky man sir yes it’s not all good and you only get out what you put in but what a life well I have got your videos the wrong way around but have enjoyed every minute l loved your cast iron bowl with the hand blower now I would like one of them and the Turkey caller what a great gift for someone l did see a cat l hope it’s good at catching rabbits and other vermin 🤔👍👏👏
Another great video. Always enjoy watching. Thanks!
Thanks Steven.
I would love to stop by the tavern and share a tankard of cider with you and share stories I heard as a youngster from my great grandparents and their friends about their live in the late 1800s early 1900s in Tenn. Love you channel!
Thank you and the tavern door will be open to all with a passion for history.
@@TheWoodlandEscape Maybe when all this covid stuff is past
Absolutely wonderfull video.
Thanks Jim, I’m glad you’re enjoying.
Thanks for another video.
Awesome video! I am absolutely fascinated by your knowledge. Keep them coming!
Great episode thank you. Satisfaction guaranteed after all that chinking, is there horse hair in the mix to give it a bit of strength? Amazing watching your skill at the forge. You have it so right it’s not all work and no play. Take care John 🏴
Enjoyed my time with you again as always. I'm always disappointed when it ends. Great to learn new things every time.
25 yards away was the range stated when apparently shooting that turkey.... the walk to the bird was very soon after the shot I noticed however no nervous flapping or twitching plus when you rolled the bird over both legs were stiff!! Its the only freshly shot turkey who showed signs of rigamortu within a few minutes!!!!
Great video! Thank you for making them!!
We’ve had a lot of fun with this series and getting lots of stuff done to boot.
Awesome hunt! Love that flintlock!
We have eastern Turkeys here in Virginia. I guess those are Mariam Turkeys. They are smarter than me and despite many attempts have never gotten a turkey.
Frsnk
We only have Eastern’s, Frank. I’ve harvested number 12 this spring with my flintlock… don’t mean to brag, lol!
12 isn’t bragging, it’s knowing how to do it. Kudos
Great video. Congratulations on finishing the chinking. I have started my cabin build. I felled some trees yesterday. Boy am I sore! Love the Turkey call!
Fascinating! Thanks for sharing
what works really well for me on a call is to use a dremel tool to carve close to that bone really tight remove all excess bone not part of the walls..No spongy walls of bone!. longer the better !
I’ll be trying that on my next one. Thank you.
I liked the video. I do alot of fly fishing myself rainbows and brookie are my favorites. Lots of lakes around my area.
Been known to cast a fly or two myself. I love fly fishing for grayling in the Yukon. Been a few years since I got up there but, when covid is behind us, I’m on he road.
Very informative and fascinating :) Thank you
Thank you, I’m glad you’re enjoying.
You are a wealth of knowledge
Thankyou Peter😊💞
I don't know about north America but in Britain historically a tavern can sell wine an inn offers accommodation and a public house is the basic most common establishment selling alcoholic drinks often just in the living room. There are still a few pubs in farm houses or front rooms left.
Heck John, I’m not that particular, I’ve had a dram or more in all the above. Again, interesting historical facts … I love it!
Thanks for sharing this with the Ouachita Bushcraft and survival group! Subscribed...
It is my pleasure Chester and thank you for your interest.
Love your channel and wait to see more. Hope y'all do some video putting up garden. God speed
Working on the garden as we speak Todd. Problem is, I have too many projects on the go ... not enough hours in the day.
Da würde ich auch gerne mal auf die Jagd gehen 🦃Und in der Taverne ein paar Halbe Bier trinken 🍺🍺🍻👍🏻👍🏻🙋♂️
Do you ever attend any living history events in the states? If so I would be interested in knowing which events you attend. Another great video as always. Thank you!
Thanks Ashley. Pre covid I attended a few but, not these days. I’m hopeful in the future once this thing is in our rear view mirrior
@@TheWoodlandEscape I have a follow up question. What was the load you were using in your smoke pole. Thanks again
Класс!
Peter, you mentioned waxed Irish linen. I looked it up, as you know it comes in different ply's. Which do you use as most common , for making small pouches , shooting bags and such?
Thanks for your interest, John. I use 6 ply for everything that you mentioned as well as moccasins. Tandy Leather is one supplier of the product.
Awesome video
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video, along with your others as well! My parents introduced me to your channel a few months ago, as they reckoned that you and I are birds of a feather (pun intended!) This was one of the first of your videos that they showed me, and so intrigued was I that I subscribed and saved this video for future reference in the hopes that it would help instruct me in making a wing bone turkey call of my own whenever I was able to acquire said turkey.
Now that I have the bones, I need to ask you:
How long do you boil them for?
And do you apply a layer of gum/resin on the male/female ends of the joins before you fit them back together and wrap it with waxed Irish linen, as well as after?(similar to how you join two pipes in plumbing)
Thank you so much for your time and help!!
There are numerous ways Gordon to built these guys. As for boiling time, it really doesn’t matter. Boil until white … you can’t over boil them. Take you time fitting the pieces using small files and or sand paper. To make a real durable one, I would suggest using gorilla glue when you slide them together. Not historically correct but, it can be our secret. I often scrimshaw some turkey tracks or a feather on the big end piece and then dye them in walnut dye. Thanks Gordon for your support and interest.
@@TheWoodlandEscape Thank you so much!! That's most helpful!! I'll even do the scrimshaw and dye just like you suggested!! And you're most welcome!! I look forward to your future videos!! The Good Lord willing and the creeks don't rise, I'll see you on down the trail!!! And God bless!!!
Found your channel and loved it !! Subscribed. Awesome turkey call I've never seen one like that !! Do you make those and sell them if someone wanted to buy one ? My grandson would love that he just turned 12 . Binge watching your videos today .
I don’t sell them but, make them for friends. Is your grandson a soon to be hunter? Perhaps I could make him one next spring. Out of bones right now.
@@TheWoodlandEscape my son takes him hunting sometimes he seemed to like it . i gave him a pocket knife that belonged to my great-Grandfather, he keeps it on a shelf with his other prized stuff !! it would be awesome to give him one and watch him learn to use it .i told my son my Hawken rifle goes to my grandson . i cant go hunting with him as arthritis in my spine want let me walk very far nowadays . im still watching your videos love them so much ,thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills with us.
Your turkey wing bone call works.built one for myself. Got two....
Best call ever,Larry and it proved itself once again yesterday morning.
Yes an awesome video. A natural. Music catchy. Loving your engenuity.
Such kind compliments, thank you Diane.
@@TheWoodlandEscape you bring the world to us in such colour and clarity. I cannot stop thanking you.
My favorite channel on utube. U shoot primitive archery? Would love to see your gear on a video sometime. And why don't u carry a pipe tomahawk in your belt!! Great video brother keep em coming
Perhaps a future video and I do have a nice hawk but, only carry it when I’m on the war party, lol.
🤣🤣!! I hear ya!
Peter, I make a lot of items and I do use waxed sinew or fishing line as you call it LOL. What ply waxed linen do you use? I see some 2, 4, 7 and 12 ply. Our first indoor trade show of the year is in January in Jackson Ohio each year and there is a guy out of W. Virginia and his sister works at like butterball and he gets tons of wing bones from there and he makes hundreds of wing bone calls and gives the to the kids that come through the trade shows he goes to and that's all you hear at the show LOL. Great Video.
I’ve pretty much used any and all plys depending on the application. Doesn’t much matter on a turkey call. The finer ones look better I think. Love to make it to your show, perhaps next year. Do give me a heads up in December and who knows, perhaps our paths will cross.
@@TheWoodlandEscape This is a very small trade show maybe 20 venders. Its held at a 4-H camp lodge, the event name is Sons of Liberty Trade Fair and its at Canters cave 4-H camp Jackson Ohio.
Fake turkey kill footage...
very cool cabin sir , not sure your a turkey hunter tho, watch Pinhote on youtube learn a lot from him
good luck!
That's pretty neat. Also you've got a huge cat!! What's that thing weigh?
Nor sure on the weight but, if my cat food bill is any indication, a lot!
@@TheWoodlandEscape when it walked across the scene I thought it was a Saber tooth. What do you feed it? Ground sloths or Texans?
On behalf of the turkey I have to protest!
👍🏴
Great video! Congrats on the tom. I enjoyed the wing bone call making. What sort of load are you using? I'm shooting a .620" fusil de chasse that I haven't worked up a shot load yet.
My turkey load is 80 g of 3f powder with 2 or 3 over shot cardboard wads. I found using soaked cushion wads totally destroyed the pattern. I stuff in a bit of paper wasp nest for cushioning. Not historically correct but, I make a paper cup and push into the barrel, just below the muzzle. My charge is 1 5/8 oz mixture of #5, 6 & 7 shot, followed be single over shot card. Hope this helps David. At least a starting point for you.
@@TheWoodlandEscape Thanks for the response. That's a great starting point. I was surprised and possibly pleased to see the 80gr of 3f. That's what works so far shooting round balls. That groups at 3-4" at 60 yds. if I'm shooting well.
My load is Winchester long beard XR out of a Remington 870.............lol!
My favorite part of the turkey is the "Pope's Nose".
The last bit over the fence!😉
A wee gram more. Tank ya.
Why TANK you Mac. For the record I do not dole it by the gram but, by the inch!
Will boiling the legs render gelatin? It would be good for Turkey gelatin salad. The fethers under down would be good for comforters.
All good uses. We always boil the carcass for soap. I’m sure one could use the down but, it would take a lot. I simply scatter it about and it ends up in a whole lot of birds nests.
How to make a turkey hunter? Let him slip into the woods listening to a before daylight chorus of whippoorwills from the hills. Let him sit under a sweet smelling wild plum tree and watch the sun's first rays top the hills and listen to the woods denizens awaken. Let him listen as one after another the toms gobble a challenge from hill to hill to hill. Let him see the red bud, smell the pine, and feel the sunshine warming his joints as he walks the hills. Then, one dense foggy morning Let him call and finally see a dozen feathered dinosaurs slip silently out of the mist, their lead scout, his head down and twisting like a snake as he eyes every bush and blade of grass. They are magnificent. Let him carry a fat longbeard home. But it'll be the spring woods and the sight of those dinosaurs coming out of the fog and the mist that he'll savor again and again, even when he gets too old to climb the hills for the chase.
I swear, Larry, if your not a author you bloody well should be. As I was reading this, I thought for a moment I could hear a Tom!
@@TheWoodlandEscape just recording an experience, Peter, that has lasted me a lifetime. I've met a coyote face to face in a snow storm. He taught me a lesson I won't forget. I've been warned out of the woods one pitch dark night by a panther and watched a white tailed buck behave with a speed, a cleverness, and a wariness that no human being would ever be capable of. Sit me down over a campfire with a hot cup of coffee and I could spin you a tale or two and I'm sure you could do the same.
I would enjoy that very much, Larry.
LOL!!! I being a wild bird Turkey hunter myself could tell that bird had RIGAMORTISE...LOL!!
That filming thing does take a while, rain started and a few takes latter he was starting to stiffen up.your very observant, Timothy.
When completed we'll need directions, hours and bill of fare for your tavern.
First tankard is on the house.
@@TheWoodlandEscape HUZZAH!
Hello, I'm from Germany and my questions is: how did the early settlers get their anvils? As far as I know, an emigrant was allowed to take 100kg of luggage with him on the ship. Do you know an answer?
Great question. I suspect in earlier voyages like Jamestown and Plymouth Rock, they would have been on board. Just a guess but, the blacksmith being such an important tradesman might have been the exception to the weight restrictions.
@@TheWoodlandEscape I believe that all crucial tradesmen to a new settlement were allowed exceptions.
Always load your gun and keep it close before you do any thing else
Sound advice indeed!
what gauge is your gun and how much shot ? I use 20ga . with 1 1/2 oz of 6 shot . great vid
Mine is also 20 gauge or .62 caliber. 80g of 3F and 1 5/8 once of mixed 5, 6 & 7 shot. That is my turkey load ... packs a bit of a wallop at both ends.
@@TheWoodlandEscape I bet . I use 80 gr of 2f
Would you be willing to share the load you use in your .62 for turkey? I recently finished building a .58 smoothbore and might try chasing turkeys but haven’t worked out shot loads yet just round balls.
You bet, David. I use 80g of ff some wool wadding material that I cut. I used to use lubed 1/2” lubed cushion wads but, got horrible patterns. I use a mixture of #5 & 6 shot 1 3/4 oz. Followed by another chunk of wool . Although I don’t believe authentic, I make a paper cartridge, slide it down in the bore about 2”, pour in shot and some thing as a buffering agent, corn meal works. Shack the barrel until the shot comes up through the buffering then I add another wool wad and push her down on the charge. A single over power wad of .125 works for adequate cushioning as well and a simple over shot card. Good luck on your hunt.
Thank you for sharing. Everyone I ask loads their smoothbore differently. It’s going to be fun working out the right load for mine.
It is a fun journey!
😅😆3 days longer than forever!
No Spurs on the turkey? I’ve never shot one like that, even a jake I shot once had small ones.
You are amazingly observant Shane. I couldn’t believe it had no spurs, simply little nubbins and I’ve shot Jake’s that had reasonably good ones.
Remember that after firing your weapon you should immediately reload or remind folks that it should be done. In keeping with the period, pesky Indians or rangers may be about
Good point, Frank.
You say you try to use as much of the animal as possible out of respect. Serious question, I'm not being flippant. If you eat the meat and leave the rest of the animal in the field then wouldn't the other animals in the area consume the rest of that animal? I've always viewed it as nothing ever goes to waste. Many many animals and insects will consume whatever you don't consume and will sustain their life as well.
That is so true true Tim. In fact it is amazing to actually watch the parts I leave for the others in need. In the day light hours it is first the eagles, followed by vultures and crows. At night the coyotes come in an finish what is left.
IF YOU WILL MAKE A LEATHER BAG OUT OF BUCKSKIN FOR YOUR WING BONE TURKEY CALL AND WEAR IT AROUND YOUR NECK, THE SOUND WILL MAGNIFY MANY TIMES LOUDER, IF YOU BLOW THE TURKEY CALL WHILE IT IS IN THE BAG. IT MAY SOUND STRANGE, BUT IT WORKS VERY WELL.
Interesting, thank you.
Are you really that good, of a shot? If so, rock on.
Yer turkeys body was a bit stiff for just been shot 😂😂
One warm spring day Jack the Hunter was eating his turkey wing and he sucked the marrow out of the bone making a "Turk!!" sound and a huge old gobbler just behind the camp exploded in gobbles, on that day the turkey call was born..
Love it. So that is how it all came about!
Chinking with cement is not historically accurate, isn't?
It is not. There method was to use Cobb, a mixture of 50% clay, 50%sand and chopped up dried grass. I decided I simply didn’t want that on going maintenance.
Пётр,хоший выстрел,вот только к зверю подходить с разряженым ружьём,это порой не безопасно. Особенно,если на дворе именно XVIII век и вам не безразлична дальнейшая судьба вашего собственного скальпа...
You absolutely correct. Normally I do.
Добрый день.. Пётр,приношу свои извинения за несколько грубоватый юмор... Несколько не учёл сам факт того,что это в данном случпе именно так,поскольку в противном случае,вы в свою очередь не смогли бы радовать здесь.присудствующих своими публикациями данного столь разнообразного,и тем не мение весьма информативного видеоматериала... Кстати,Пётр.. Не могли бы вы в качестве некоего исключения из общих правил вашего конала ,в свою очередь несколько по подробней рассказать именно о кремнёвом дульнозарядном оружье в свою очередь имеющим наиболее массовое хождение среди североамериканских клонистов описываемого вами исторический период времени？ И если можно, несколько слов о том,где и как по вашему мнению лудше приобрести сегодня то или иное ружьё подобного типа？ Как я понимаю,за столько лет общения с подобного рода изделиями ,у вас наверняка имеется ряд собственных предпочтений в вопросе выбора такового？ С Уважением,Андрей （Красноярск）
👍🇵🇭
17:16 You didn't see that puma behind you...
Nope.
Looks like a grave yard. Sorry.
Great stuff, but seriously if your going to make a turkey hunting video don’t make it so fake lol that was terrible, now I can’t trust you
This is living in my thoughts, as a boy I would run off into the woods(Prescott, A.Z.) and stay as long as I could. I have the urge to just walk into the woods still and never come back, and just live until I don’t!🙏🏻🙏🏻👂🏻
What a wonderful childhood memory.
I knew u had humidity when u dumped pan. U def have our ancestors problems cured as they did. Most people now days unless they have hunted real primitive as u r have no clue of how to use that smooth bore. Awesome videos on history of America prerevulution
You have a fat kitty cat ...... second time I watched this and only one wear I seen kitty cat stocking behind you 😂😂😂😂😂
Fortunately she hasn’t attacked yet!
😃
