Summary

In this video, we sit down with Mississippi legend and world champion turkey caller Preston Pittman. Preston has spent a life in the woods of Mississippi, hunting and fishing for any game species the state offers, but is best known for turkey calling and hunting. We talk with Preston about his upbrining, his old-school turkey hunting mentors from the 1960's, and some of Preston's best hunting stories and lessons learned in the turkey woods. Preston also gives a demonstration of how to call turkeys with your natural voice. Preston owns Pittman Game Calls, which you can find here - https://2ly.link/255XQ Got a question for the show?

0:00.0	I would go to the, what I call the local places, if you know what I mean.
0:06.4	And I would build me a little grave, pile up dirt, if you know what I mean.
0:13.5	And I stick a half a dozen feathers around it.
0:16.3	So when the next guy come, there was my mark.
0:19.8	He's dead.
0:20.5	He ain't dead.
0:21.4	I'm trying to keep everybody else out of there.
0:25.9	Oh, we were dirty.
1:02.9	Oh, we were dirty. Being able to pinpoint exactly where a gobbling turkey is is half the battle in a successful hunt.
1:08.0	My favorite tool for pinpointing goblers is the compass mode feature on Onex hunt.
1:11.9	When you enter compass mode on your app, the map orients to whatever direction you're facing and a line is drawn on the map with different distances marked. So for instance,
1:16.5	like I'll be out hunting some hill country and I'll have a bird goblin. So I'll turn on compass mode.
1:21.5	I'll face the bird and I'll look at my phone and it's got those different yardages marked. And
1:26.1	basically I can say, okay, that bird is probably about 250 yards away. I can look at my phone and it's got those different yardage is marked and basically I can say okay that
1:27.9	bird is probably about 250 yards away I can look at my map and say oh yeah look there's a ridge
1:32.6	point directly where I'm facing about 250 yards he's probably right there on the end of that ridge
1:36.6	point or oh there's a food plot about 250 yards out he's probably in that food plot so it's made a big
1:41.6	difference for me and again pinpointinging birds. I know it'll
1:44.4	probably help you out too. So check it out Compass Mode on Onex Hunt. And you can get a discount on your
