| 0:00.0 | Being able to pinpoint exactly where a gobbling turkey is is half the battle in a successful hunt. |
| 0:06.0 | My favorite tool for pinpointing goblers is the compass mode feature on on X hunt. |
| 0:11.0 | When you enter compass mode on your app, the map orients to whatever direction you're facing, |
| 0:15.0 | and a line is drawn on the map with different distances marked. |
| 0:19.0 | So for instance, I'll be out hunting some hill country |
| 0:21.4 | and I'll have a bird goblin. So I'll turn on compass mode. I'll face the bird and I'll look at my phone and it's got those different yardages marked. And basically I can say, okay, that bird is probably about 250 yards away. I can look at my map and say, oh yeah, look, there's a ridge point directly where I'm facing about 250 yards. |
| 0:38.1 | He's probably right there on the end of that ridge point. |
| 0:39.8 | Or, oh, there's a ridge point directly where I'm facing, about 250 yards. He's probably right there on the end of that ridge point. Or, oh, there's a food |
| 0:40.6 | plot, about 250 yards out. He's probably in that food plot. So it's made a big difference for me, |
| 0:45.2 | and again, pinpointing birds. I know it'll probably help you out too. So check it out |
| 0:48.7 | compass mode on on X hunt. And you can get a discount on your onex elite membership if you use the code southern at checkout |
| 0:55.0 | make sure use that discount code because not only will you get a discount but it helps a show |
| 0:59.2 | out as well know where you stand with on x hunt y'all've heard us talk about them for years but one of |
| 1:03.6 | our favorite turkey gun upgrades is a red dot site and one of the best red dot sites when it comes to |
| 1:10.4 | turkey hunting is the viper enclosed red dot from vortex And one of the best red dot sites when it comes to turkey hunting is the viper |
| 1:11.6 | enclosed red dot from vortex optics. Now the reason that a red dot is so nice for turkey hunting |
| 1:17.1 | is because it opens up your site picture. It allows you to actually see what you're aiming at |
| 1:21.0 | and you're not covering up the turkey with your site, which is especially helpful with modern |
| 1:25.4 | ammo like TSS where you're shooting a pretty tight pattern. |
| 1:28.3 | One reason that the Viper enclosed red dot is so nice is because it has that enclosed design, |
| 1:33.3 | so it's very, very durable, resistant to the elements, and it has a universal mount built right into the site. |
| 1:39.3 | So it's just four screws, screw it down onto your shotgun, boom, you're good to go. |
