The full hunt story from start to finish
What we did wrong on previous hunts
How to hunt a pressured gobbler
When to run and gun vs sit still
Real turkey behavior and decision making
Youth hunting and why it matters
We also sit down with Mark Briner to talk:
Old school vs modern turkey hunting

From tactical turkey hunting advice to life-changing moments in the field, this episode dives deep into what it really means to hunt with purpose.
We break down one of the most overlooked tools in turkey hunting—binoculars—and how small mistakes in movement and visibility can cost you opportunities. But this episode goes far beyond tactics.
You’ll hear the full story from a Texas turkey hunt at The Pastor’s Refuge—covering everything from early success to getting humbled, and ultimately learning what patience really looks like in the woods.
More importantly, this episode reveals something bigger than hunting:
Slowing down in a fast-paced world
Being present with your family
Trusting the process when things don’t go your way
Recognizing when God is working—even when you can’t see it yet
From missed opportunities to last-minute success, this is a powerful reminder that sometimes the lesson matters more than the outcome.
In This Episode:
Why binoculars are one of the most underrated tools in turkey hunting
How turkeys see more than you think and how that affects your setup
The difference between guided hunts versus true hunting experiences
Lessons learned from hunting unpressured birds in Texas
The challenge of mentoring new hunters in real-time situations
How patience directly impacts success in the field
A powerful story of slowing down and reconnecting with what matters most
Why being present—at home and in the woods—changes everything

Hunting turkeys when they are not gobbling is one of the hardest parts of turkey season, and it’s where most hunters get stuck. In this episode, we break down a simple, repeatable approach to finding and killing quiet birds when the woods go silent.
You’ll learn how to adjust your mindset, scouting, and setup when gobbles disappear. We cover how to locate birds without shock gobbles, how to read fresh sign, and how to move with purpose instead of guessing. If you’ve ever sat all morning without hearing a sound, this episode will help you stay in the game and still fill your tag.
In this episode:
• Why turkeys stop gobbling and what it actually means
• How to locate birds without relying on gobbles
• The role of pressure, weather, and breeding phase
• When to sit still vs. when to strike and move
• How to set up on silent birds using terrain and sign
• Calling strategies that work on tight-lipped gobblers
• Midday tactics that most hunters overlook
• Real scenarios and what we would do differently

Opening day turkey hunting tactics can make or break your season. In this episode from Revive Outdoors, we break down how to target gobblers on opening day and avoid the common mistakes that push birds off your property before the season really gets started.
Early season turkeys often behave differently than they will later in the spring. Birds are still grouped up, hunting pressure is low, and gobblers are focused on hens. Knowing how to approach roost setups, calling strategies, and positioning can put you in range of a mature longbeard on day one.
In this video, we share practical opening day turkey hunting tactics you can apply on both public land and private land. These strategies come from real hunts and years of chasing Eastern turkeys across the Southeast.
In This Episode
How to locate gobblers before opening morning
Roosting strategies the night before the hunt
Where to set up when turkeys fly down
Calling strategies that work on pressured birds
How to use terrain to get close without being seen
What to do when hens pull the gobbler away
Why Opening Day Matters
Opening morning is often the best chance you will have all season to tag a gobbler. Birds have not been pressured yet, and if you know how to position yourself correctly you can intercept them as they move from the roost to feeding areas.
If you want to improve your odds this spring, these opening day turkey hunting tactics will help you approach your first hunt with a clear plan.
