I saw Michael excahnge numbers with a lady from SC about going on a hunt with her, I believe it was an outfitter, but it sounded like an open invite. She gave him a T-shirt and told him she'd like to have him down to hunt with them sometime. Give it a try, but be prepared to be told no. I'll bet he gets 50 offers like that a day. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

The Realtree guys have a 11,800 acre lease in western Ky. that's full of turkeys. They really don't need another place to go here. Most of the video guys want to hunt Ky. each spring. We did a show last year for Bob Robbin's out of Arkansas and turned down Preston Crabtree on doing one. I've got a video team from Indiana coming in this year and maybe one from South Carolina. If you've got plenty of turkey and word gets around, then they will look you up.

I'm sure he'd love to go with everyone that asked him, but there would just not be enough time to do it, and if he did it once, he'd probably feel like he had to do it all the time.

I don't know about Mike Waddell but I did asked Dave Watson to go on one with me and we are trying to plan together a "Kentucky Turkey hunt" for this comming spring he is a Very nice guy to talk to. I did ask no cameras though I can be shy. I think with all of this publicity on KY hunting lately might help you. Give it a try email him first he does answer his emails.

Most folks in the TV biz have their hunts set way in advance. I am going with Waddell to Texas in April, and I know his spring is packed. He is a really nice guy, but I am pretty sure he couldn't trade a hunt just because of tme constraints.

Also, you must remember that the TV guys have to hunt with sponsors and others that need promoting as a trade for hunts (especially big deer, etc.) The top shows have people knocking down their doors wanting them to come and hunt with them and they are providing the most prime access, with food, lodging, etc. included. Besides the hunt with Waddell, I am filming every one of my hunts for the Hunter's Journal or Knight & Hale this spring, and my schedule has been set for months. When you travel for 2-3 months to film hunts, you have to work out the logistics well in advance or it will never work.

You never know though, some one might have a hole in their schedule. Can't hurt to ask...

Tim, I just read your article on your Goulds hunt. Sounded like a great experience. You gonna try for the world slam soon?

Don't have much of a desire to kill an Ocellated. They don't gobble, and that's what it is all about to me. There are a lot of other things out there I would rather hunt...and for that kind of money, you can sure kill a lot of real turkeys.

Hope you liked the Gould's article. That was a cool trip.

I liked the fact that the article dealt with a little more than just your turkey hunt. You talked some about the ancestory and I really found interesting the cave painting(don't recall the proper name) you saw of the turkey with "oversized beard". Just goes to show that not only modern hunters are absorbed by "trophy" status. I'm sure that even tribesman made a big deal over a hunter taking an unusually large buck or turkey, although the food still came first.
