Recipe: Parmesan Wild Turkey Nuggets
A lot of outdoorsmen and women overlook the wild turkey when it comes to excellent table fare. Everyone sings the praises of great venison, but a lot of big game hunters skip out on spring turkey season. While the turkey may not yield the abundance of meat that a deer does, the quality is there. There is nothing like some fresh turkey meat in the spring. And when we're talking turkey meat, we're almost always referring to that incredible breast meat. Some of the best white me

Hunting Turkeys in the Rain
Rain is an inevitable aspect of spring turkey hunting. They say that April showers bring May flowers, you know. Unfortunately for turkey hunters, we want to be in the field and on the hunt throughout the month of April. Resulting in an inevitable clash between turkey hunting and spring weather. This seems like an obvious and irrelevant reality to be talking about, but hear us out on this one. Talking rain and turkey hunting is an important thing to touch on. Whether you’re an

All About Turkey Decoys
A good turkey decoy setup could be the difference between bagging the longbeard of a lifetime and going home frustrated with a tag sandwich. While nothing is a cure-all in the turkey woods, a lot of successful turkey hunters are devout decoy users. Now more than ever before. We all know how successful a good decoy spread can be in the waterfowl world, but the turkey hunting world came around to decoying slowly but surely. Some old school hunters still refuse to utilize decoys

Locating the Strut Zone
Photo by Tes Randle Jolly Some say that locating a wild turkey's strut zone is the telltale sign to putting a bird in the back of your turkey vest when the season rolls around. While several other factors are obviously being overlooked, those folks may be on to something. For those who are not familiar with the intricacies of turkey hunting, a strut zone is simply an area where a tom turkey routinely goes into full-strut to show off for hens. These zones can be frequented thr

Trail Camera Strategies for Turkey Season
Spring turkey seasons are getting ready to kick off in full force across the southern US. Those of you in South Florida have already been after it for a few days chasing the weary Osceola. Whether you're in the South and making your final preparations for turkey season or you're stuck in the North with over a month of waiting, we can all kick the spring strut off in some form or fashion.

Dreaming of a Spring Turkey Tour
Photo by October Greenfield/Audubon Photography Awards If you had a completely open schedule, a nice truck with a full tank of gas, and the ability to go hunt as many states as you could during the spring turkey season, where would you go? As a diehard turkey hunter, I have always dreamed of taking a spring turkey tour. Hitting multiple states and racking up a truckload of fresh turkey breasts, beards, and tail-fans. Something that you would see your favorite hunting pro emba

It's Finally March in the Great Outdoors
The month of March has arrived at last and we can bid farewell to February. No offense to those of you who love February for whatever reason, but it has never ranked high on my list when it comes to my favorite times of the year. Maybe it's just because I hail from dark and cold Ohio, or maybe it's just because February stinks. Let's be honest, it's a bit of both. February isn't much fun for outdoorsmen and women anywhere. Most deer hunting seasons end in February, daylight h

When Should You Start Shed Hunting?
We have landed in mid-February, and that can mean but one thing for bored deer hunters. We are collectively chomping at the bit to begin hunting for white gold, or antlers that have dropped from the heads of whitetail deer. Shed antler hunting has become a huge hit for modern outdoorsmen and women. Beyond the fact that deer antlers are just plain cool, you can actually pick up on a ton of critical information by collecting shed antlers. When a big buck drops an antler in a gi

Regrouping after a Spring Food Plot Failure
Photo by NPR The spring food plot that you envisioned being a deer magnet in the upcoming fall season is slowly but surely turning into a barren wasteland of weeds and grasses. Now what? Well, the first thing you can do is welcome yourself to the club. Anyone who has ever planted a food plot for hunting purposes has experienced miserable failure. It's just par for the course. There are so many reasons why food plots struggle and ultimately fail. The second thing that you need

Keep an eye out for Fawns and Turkey Nests
Photo by Wiscnews.com Tractor season is officially upon us. We now trade the camo of turkey season for work boots and sweat on the brow. We will be covering plenty of the intricacies involved in food plotting and land management throughout the spring, summer, and beyond. But we wanted to start the season with an important message or heads-up. As we take to the fields to mow trails, trim perennials, and plant the food plots of the future, we have to keep an eye out for newborn

Keep Deer Season in Mind
Photo by Heartland Outdoors It can be easy to let deer season and deer in general slip the mind of the all-inclusive outdoorsman during the spring season. You've got spring turkey season, fishing season, and all of those other nice weather activities. Most people aren't thinking ahead to those all-day treestand sits on a cold November day. You can even see it in our content here at the MPTV Blog, and we're legitimate deer hunting nuts. Everything is focused on spring turkey s

Food Plotting in April
Photo by The Bearded Buck April means springtime in the outdoors. It also means more than the start of turkey and fishing seasons. April is go-time on getting ready to plant those spring food plots. One of the more active months of the year for those hunters who go the extra mile. While the food plotting community remains split and somewhat skeptical of spring food plot planting, there is no doubt that it can benefit the deer herd. Proper nutrition is crucial as bucks begin t

Turkey Hunting: It's All About the Setup
Photo by Newton Daily News Our coverage of turkey hunting month in America continues as we turn our attention to the always important topic of turkey hunting setups in this installment. Because your setup is everything in turkey hunting. Turkey hunting is often treated as more of a spontaneous and non-strategic sport in comparison to whitetail hunting. Hunters tend to rely heavily on locating birds and leveling the playing field by calling them in. Putting entirely too much s
