One last FLINTLOCK HUNT! Fall Turkey Catch & Cook
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 січ 2024
- With just a few days left in the fall turkey hunting season, I grabbed the 20 gauge flintlock smoothbore, loaded up some black powder and 6 shot and hit the woods. In the fall and winter, turkeys gather in to large winter flocks which can make for an exciting hunt. But I had no idea what I was in for when I set out in the early morning. This will be the last flintlock hunting video for the 2023 season but there'll be more in 2024. Stay tuned for more catch and cook videos from the southern states this winter.

Loving the flintlock videos!
More to come!
Fantastic, how old is the flintlock?
Me too... awesome video. Just a question. The rifle you use in this video has a rifled barrel ? I'm asking because it seams the same rifle you have used in other videos hunting for elk.
Different gun. Remember his rifled gun has a strapped handle as it was cracking, the one in this video, is whole.
Let’s all take a moment to appreciate the effort that goes into self filming these videos. Fantastic work.
By God! That's a butt load of turkeys! That's every hunters wet dream. Awesome vid!
That was such a cool hunt brother, you don't see a lot of hunters using the old flint lock anymore, great hunt
Try Pennsylvania. Loads of us here still using them, considering we have a dedicated season.
i wonder why....

@Tubdyy-ns9bn?
That's got to be one of the best fall turkey hunts on UA-cam, period. Absolutely incredible to have both eagles and coyotes hunting the same birds you were after. Congrats on the nice tom!
I appreciate he's using a flintlock. Makes it a fair fight
I don't think man Vs turkey is ever a fair fight haha
It really isn’t a fair fight, would be if he was using a rock, a sling shot, a bow or a spear, but even though it’s a flintlock, doesn’t make it fair.
@@thefatraptor4424 True, but it's fairer than a shotgun.
@@leonl9123 everything is more fair than a shotgun, or any fire arm in that matter
Longbows & flintlocks... nothin better! 👍
Wow! What a hunt! Turkeys, eagles, and coyotes! Thank you for sharing your successes and failures. I appreciate you keeping it real.
I love muzzleloading hunting and to watch you do these hunts are the best. Looking forward to you taking Xander out and teaching him the ropes of hunting. Keeps our hunting and fishing traditions alive. thanks for the great videos.
Turkey hunts are always super fun... Awesome vid! Thanks!
Way to get it done with the flintlock! Old school.
I think the Flintlock videos are, by far, my favorite. Great content, Clay.
Real movie made by one person! Nice to see the frontier atmosphere like Jack London's books)
You're a class act and an example for us all. Thank you.
Awesome hunt clay! Incredible footage of that eagle dive bombing the flock. I definitely need more flint lock turkey hunt videos in the future! 🦃
That very well may be the best turkey hunt video I’ve ever seen!! That would have been a wild experience. And what a wonderful way to make the most of it. Incredible
Thank you and a happy new year to you and yours Clay
Im glad you showed the loading process for the gun
Love the hunt and cook videos. We also really appreciate you telling us how to get the meat to basically fall off the bone :-).
Those birds are a lot more tolerant then our Pennsylvania ones.... great hunt!
Fantastic!!! I needed this today!!! Thank you for sharing
Thanks Clay, great film 👍🇬🇧
Mi amigo con este excelente video se ganó un subscriptor
Excellent work Clay!! Always feels like I’m along with ya!
Someone always wants a piece of a turkey! Great hunt!
Action packed morning, for sure. Well played, Clay.
Really enjoying the flintlock hunts!
It looks like its time to do an up close video of your flintlocks... loading, cleaning, maintenance, furniture discussion, keeping them dry, Etc...
Then on to all the accouterments needed as well as casting buck, ball,& shot, patches, wadding, lube, & powder.
Thanks for the video...
I agree. This would be great. Between your elk videos and this one, I'm starting to think I need a new hobby (pronounced: obsession!)
I’ll probably do that next fall
Ты настоящий охотник бро - добыл , приготовил и съел👍
100% ,подписываюсь!
Красавчик! Здоровья тебе ,настоящий охотник! Лайк
That was an awesome video! I'm so glad I recently found your channel!
Hornet paper nests work great for wadding! I grew up with flintlocks I love the videos
Hard to beat that hunt. Congratulations!!
Great outing, thanks as always for sharing.
Heck of a shot with the smokepole!!
Love the Flintlock videos.
Glad to hear it!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and keep your videos coming.
Thanks, will do!
Liked the fact that you use almost no camo on most of your hunts, just natural colors. Thinking of hunting this way myself. What brand is the jacket and where did you get it?
Asbell wool i think
Great video. Thanks
Good video my friend. Love to Turkey hunt ( along with everything else you can hunt ) THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA.....
I'm recovering from a hunting injury back in October. Lost my footing and fell off a cliff. Fractured my skull, broke my left leg, and right foot. Still got a couple month of recovery, but as soon as I can I'm gonna get out and try to take a hog with my home built (not a kit) .54 flintlock!
Sorry to hear that but I bet you’ll be back out there soon. Good luck when the time comes!
Stay strong buddy.
Thanks clay
Great video l really enjoy the old school hunting
Awesome video you are a true outdoorsman and I love the traditional Content my uncle Dave won season 2 Alone so congratulations on your win on season 8!
Flintlock for turkey who does that?? Clay Hayes that’s who!🔥 🔥
that's the best weapon to use for hunting in a survival situation Mr.Hayes... you can make your own ammo and gunpowder... good idea to keep a few of them aside... if you need to defend yourself against armed bipods, and that's not enough, you can then use something modern... you'll have their guns and ammo anyway!...
Such a hunt is worthy of respect!
I do love a good muzzleloader hunt.
Excellent video
Thanks 👍
Two things I love most! Flintlocks and selfbows. We musta been brothers in a past life lol. And yeah, skeet shootings probably the hardest thing in the world with a flintlock.
Excellent hunt Clay. Being pushed by eagles and coyotes definitely worked in our favour. The slow cooked turkey looked delicious.
Thanks
Nate
Yes it was
Absolutely epic, wow! 😎💚
The art of ancient hunting
Ooof that was tense. Im living vicariously through you! Congratulations on the stunning bird 🦃 Allways wondered what they was like eating but it looked superb! Full tail waggins from the doggo there 😄
Fantastic work 👏
So cool, my childhood dream to hunt like that👏🏼👏🏼
Hello my friend!! That's cool!! I liked it, I'm from Brazil, here we make a hut to wait and we put food for the quail, congratulations on the work my friend hug. Here in Brazil!!!
great hunt clay
Nice job Clay
Pretty new to your channel and not seen you hunt with a flint lock, but im impressed in the patience that took.
Clay you are the Man! I would happily beg at your dinner table for what ever scraps you threw to me. Can't wait to see more of your flint lock vids, keep your powder dry Brother!
What an awesome hunt there was a lot going on that time thanks for sharing it with us , glad you could make meat!👍👍👍🦃🦃
You bet
Nice work clay
Interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
This was badass!
Very interesting and inspiring video!
Very nice.
What an exciting hunt! These muzzleloader videos are making me wanna dust off my percussion cap rifle. Super cool to see how close the birds got without any fancy camo!
Great video !
I’m sure glad you finally got something. It’s gets hard watching you hunt so hard and then miss. LOL
Top vídeo
Parabéns meu amigo
Those are some amazingly patient birds. TN turkeys take off at the snap of a twig much less the blast of a flintlock lol
Awesome
Good Luck to u & ur family🎉
Congrats Clay; that's a very nice bird! I kinda wonder about that lock time though-might think about carrying a priming horn with 4F. I know it cut my lock time about in half on both my flintguns. For sure it makes loading a little bit longer, but my results were very rewarding.
Self film was never easy . Congrats 👏
I saw your season of alone, you did really good mate, also a great video!
Thanks
Man I love his vids
Never seen so many turkeys together I'm my life
Just finished reading your bowyers book, great information, recommend it. Jelous of your flintlock, never got into it but it fits the country you hunt nicely.
Awesome, thank you!
Awesome hunt
Waterfowl with the flintlock would be Wild!!!!Cant wait to see you shoot a Clay with flintlock!!! ha
Been hope sick w covid glad to have some good content to watch , always look forward to your videos ,
Hope you shake that stuff soon.
Передаю большой привет от российских охотников!😊 Спасибо за отличный видеоролик, очень интересная охота!👍 Удачи в будущей охоте!🤝
Thank you
Once again great video once again showing even the best hunter can miss Congratulations on the bird
Thank you so much 👍
Very interesting
Ive got a CCR 12 gauge FL fowler in 12 gauge and still looking for the right load and have had the gun for over 7 years and its a remarkable weapon and with my work schedule I don't get to Turkey hunt with it as Id like and its been a few years. Still looking for my first bird with it. Great video.
I shouldn't watch these videos when I haven't eaten for several hours. Lol. Looked like destiny was smiling down on You that day Bud. Awesome vid.
Man I love how that flintlock sounds. Just crispy clicks and snaps while you're cocking it and setting it up. Beautiful!!! Daggum it clay how you miss at 10 yards brother😂😂😂🤷
This is awesome! Leave it to Clay to put out something that cool.
I've been looking into Muzzleloader Upland bird hunting lately but might have to try this first
Man it’s tough hitting a bird on wing!
What a beautiful rifle!
Very interesting video. I wish we had wild Turkey to hunt in australia. Thanks for sharing
Cheers mate.
Happy new year Clay
You too
Greetings from southern B.C., just north of the Idaho panhandle. For a while, we had an eagle that hunted turkeys almost exclusively, and the turkeys would run to the barbwire fence knowing he couldn't dive/fly through it. I haven't hunted turkey in several years, but when I did, I only had one that wasn't fall off the bone tender. Our yearly bag limit is now 3 turkeys, 1 in spring and 2 in fall.
A couple years ago I noticed a large flock of turkeys feeding in a corn field. When I got close they all started flying like the devil was comeing. They all dive bombed and scrabbled into the brushy hedgerow just before the road. That's when I noticed the bald eagle doing a straffing run at the birds. Wasn't their first rodeo. I think he struck out that run.
I love you brother
Really enjoy your video❤❤
very smart birds
Как говорят в России "с полем" отличный трофей, а за использование такого ружья, моё почтение сэр
Absolutely loved this hunt! Safe travels. Looking forward to the pig hunts
Clay love your show your one of the go getting hunters on TV I squirrel hunt with rifle and shot gun muzzle loaders if you would get some extended range wads and split them a little at a time can make it shoot lot father out just a tip keep up what your doing your awesome
That was awesome!!!! Love the flinter videos!!! Haha I’ve been there where I’ve shot something 10 yards away and somehow the shot pattern evaded the game haha! The pup wanted to help out so bad!
Привет с России ! Я охочусь в Сибири. Охота у тебя просто классная, да к тому же с таким древним ружьем.! Молодец!
Thank you
