BACKWOODS YOUTH

Join the juniors scattered across the South as they lock & load for their first kills. Hunting is a family tradition here at Backwoods Life. Our parents learned from their parents and have passed down the practice from generation to generation. Now it is up to us to mentor the youth as they take the reigns and bag their first very own bucks & gobblers.

TAGGED OUT IN FLORIDA

Turkey hunting comes with a unique set of challenges. Today brought a cat that wouldn’t leave us alone kept the turkeys away from our blind, like turkey hunting isn’t hard enough without a cat running around! Mike Lee Sr. and Chris Cooper called it in and tagged ’em out though.

IF LOOKS COULD KILL

Michael Lee & Anna Vogler kicking off opening weekend of turkey season in South Georgia. No pressure on Anna but she is after her first gobbler! The decoys are out, and an ol’ tom has been gobbling non-stop. They’ve been patiently working this gobbling turkey in for hours for a shot. Anna was patient and ready!

DOUBLE TURKEY BEARDS

Join the Knighton boys in Florida for a one, two punch. Two big ole gobblers have been gobbling all morning and finally commit to the decoy. Kevin and his dad, “G”, need to time their shots perfectly to fill their tags. Leave a comment below if you’ve ever doubled up!

KNOCKED OUT OF THE SKY!

Mike Lee Sr, Chris Cooper, and their guide Louie Noegel are setup for an afternoon turkey hunt in Florida. This spot has been loaded with birds the past few days so they have the decoys out and start calling when a gobbler fires back at them. Then the wild west kicks in! Can they seal the deal?
