      I hate that the 'formula' for turkey hunts on hunting TV is usually 4 or 5 turkey kills in one episode and each just a few minutes long. THP has nailed the storytelling aspect of turkey hunting and we need more of it.

    Ok so this had to be one of my favorite hunts of all time! By the looks of the thumbnail I was sure he got away somehow, even after Warb's first shot I'm thinking he must have gotten away. Love seeing the perseverance through tough hunting conditions as well. CONGRATS ON A JOB WELL DONE.

    The tactics used here were spot on, and I appreciate the fact that some areas quitting time is noon or so. Great to know that most birds will stick around if pressure is minimal. Have yet to be real enthusiastic about turkey hunting, but watching these videos may just change that. Love what ya'll are doing ❤️

    • @wiscokid9890

    here's some cool info for you guys you said how you liked all the harvest questions when you call in. well in illinois they started a bow hunter survey that goes through October and November and you do report all animals and how many you see. you can add info you see fit as well. it's compeltly optional to participate. but I find it really fun to do and any info talky helps them out. congrats on your illinois turkey. I'm in the northern zone got 3 Different seasons hoping to get one down at least. I've seen a decline in my area so I love all the research that's going on hopefully we can figure out how to help these birds get the numbers they need again

    Weather has been screwy here in Virginia, too. We had snow showers on Tuesday. Hunted new territory today in Greene County. Killed a nice longbird...48". He weighed 23 pounds (22.8). His beard was an honest 11 1/2" and the spurs....WOW like needles... 1 /3/16" and 1 5/16". My overall best bird ever of 93 killed since my first in 1977! Enjoy your vids.

    After making my way through most of the THP catalog this past fall, I wasn’t sure if Zach and Warb had hunted much together; I thought maybe they were a bit too dissimilar. Man was I wrong, the three of you in this episode made this a great and hilarious hunt to watch. I stepped away from hunting when I was 15 years old after 3 successful turkey seasons; as hockey and spring sports took up a majority of my time. I am finally getting back around to it, and eagerly looking forward to my first spring back in turkey woods at the age of 27. Keep kicking ass THP! It’s inspiring and awesome to see.

    Great hunt. Talk about one you guys had to work hard to harvest. It always amazes me that Aaron "never gets excited" after the shot! Thought that first hen that popped over the crest and putted was going to booger your "fort hunt." The 11:59 fire ups I have encountered here obviously have 12:58 cousins in Illinois. Crazy how often the birds and weather finally "cooperate" at quitting time!
