    Every Spring I thank God that most people can't understand how hard it is and how much fun it is. If everybody understood there'd be people behind every tree and no turkeys left.

    Zach's hunting style is crazy.. I bet it's a blast but it would take a lot to keep up with him he's like the energizer bunny

  • @MrChulaFreak
    @MrChulaFreak 5 років тому +1

    Congrats guys! Also, why I am not surprised that Ted totes back a Merriam with long spurs! I always say, Ted doesn’t shoot a lot, but when he does it’s always something special!

    You know it's getting serious when Zach sports the ponytail... by far the best turkey video i have watched from you guys yet (and i have watched them all)... real life!

  • @mikev9213
    @mikev9213 5 років тому +9

    So happy for you guys. I'm still working on my bird here in Nebraska pine ridge and was planning on going up there if/when I get one. Ya'll should come here and we can give each other some tips and swap hills.

    The only turkeys I’ve ever hunted until recently are these crazy western merriams. My buddies I’ve made from back east always tell me how crazy I am for hunting them like I do elk but it’s how you’ve got to do it! Very rarely do they just drop strut and come in it seems like. I’m always doing the “FERENBAUGH CRAWL!”

    First off, thank you to the entire THP cast. I’ve only been Turkey hunting for a few years and have been successful all 3 seasons. But this year I’m taking a leap. 2 2:00 years ago I was passing through Hill City SD and when we left in the morning, I hurt tons of turkeys gobbling. Come to learn later it was their opening day. I vowed to return there to hunt one day. Well, that day is coming. My father in law and I will take on our first unguided public land hunt in And around Hill City. We really don’t have the money to pay a guide but also don’t want to waste a week. I’m wondering if any of the THP cast would be willing to look at some screen shots I have of where our cabin is and where I “think” I’ve learned from your on X videos how to scout and tell me if I’m on the right track. If so I can post my email. If not, we’ll, I guess I’ll cross my fingers. Thanks guys and keep up the awesome work

  • @dennisoosterbaan6872
    @dennisoosterbaan6872 5 років тому

    Nice bird Zack, you earned it with all the crawling. You and Greg are probably still pulling burrs from your clothing. I've been a fan for a couple of years. I'd like to know the brand of the camo netting you use to cover your camera equipment and your legs on occasion. It seems to be more heavy duty then the stuff I seem to find. Thanks - 'ppreciate y'all.
