1.0 out of 5 stars Spring Hunting Wild Turkey, April 25, 2000

By 

John O. Burgess (Northern Virginia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Spring Hunting Wild Turkey [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I expected an instructional student/teacher style approach beginning with an outline of the different turkey callers and their use in the spring, followed by some time executing/perfecting some fundamental calls i.e., yelps, purrs, putts, etc., with each type. I would like to know how to properly "fit" a mouth call, for example, and how to make some basic calls and then proceed to executing 2 or 3 more advanced calls. I would like to know how/when to chalk a box call. What about weather i.e., best vs. tollerable conditions? When should you stay home? Mr. Braungardt is no doubt one of the best Wild Turkey callers in the U.S.; but, this video was a disappointment...! I am a big fan of Walter Payton and football, but, I really only wanted to learn the fundamentals of calling a Spring Gobbler. Far too much time is spent on small talk i.e., gobbler tracks "you" don't see, feathers from a fight, with no close up, pros/cons of seats, asking Walter Payton "Did you hear him gobble" etc. Too much advertisment for his blind. There was so much "preview" on bass fishing, I thought they had sent me the wrong video for a while. I really didn't expect the focus to be on bow hunting. Don't expect more than approx. 2-3 minutes of this 51 minute video to be on actual calling of a wild turkey gobbler and most of that is for a very experienced (advanced) mouth call user! After watching this video, I still have no clue "how to" begin calling a spring gobbler, let alone executing (what I consider) those exceptional multiple pitch or toned calls provided by Mr. Braungardt with a mouth call! He is no doubt an exceptional caller, maybe "the best;" however, this video tape had very little value to me. I'll ask a trusted friend for a recommendation before ordering another hunting/fishing video!
