Title: Which hunting "celebrity" would you most like to turkey hunt with?
Post by: drenalinld on June 21, 2011, 04:03:59 PM
I would obviously choose gobblerD and stinkpickle, but if they weren't available I would jump at the chance to turkey hunt with Eddie Salter, Preston Pittman, Ronnie "Cuz" Strickland, or Michael Waddell. I may be wrong, but they seem like the kind of guys I would enjoy hunting with. Who are some you may have had a chance to hunt with or would like to hunt with, maybe even not so famous??

Let me go ahead and start with Tiffany. 

If she couldn't make it I'd like to spend some time with my back against a tree with Walter Parrot, and of course Tom Kelly.

The guy from "On your own adventures" as far as folks off the tube.  From here on OG - Executioner, LX Turkeyhunter and a number of others.

I had the privelege of hunting with Headcrusher (aka Scott Hook) and would jump at the chance to do it again!

With Ronnie's permission, and I mean this with the utmost respect, I'd love to tag along with his mom!!

I haven't heard anything much out of Preston Pittman, but he was a humble man when I met him many, many, years ago.

God Bless,

That would tickle her to hear that.  All I got to say is if she took you up on it you had better come prepared to hunt hard from sun up to sun down, she can be relentless, especially if she has a turkey or deer thats bugging her.

I hunted with a celebrity once. I would much rather hunt with several people from OG than most celebrities. There are a few that are humble and would probably be fun but I think they are few and far between.

I like the Nuge as well. I saw an episode a long time ago where he was turkey hunting. He took a big piece of sheet metal at first light and shook it to simulate thunder. That's a locator I would not have thought of...........lol

I have gotten to hunt with 2 people this year and I didnt know how either hunt would go one was a 3 day turkey hunt with Rhett Akins and Tommy Wilcox which was a blast and heck of a good time. The other was a quail hunt with Hank Jr. and Tommy Wilcox and that was a day to remember in a half, got to sit down and talk turkey and duck mess with some calls with Hank Jr. he was a genuine guy the whole hunt! Tommy Wilcox is known for his outdoor show here in Tuscaloosa and playing for the crimson tide under the Bear and hes a great guy and friend of mine who has helped me with our little buisness! To say the least a interesting year!

Who would I like to go hunting with anyone that wants to go! Thats what hunting is about making friends and having a great time in the woods--Lyle

There's really no one on TV I'd truthfully have as much fun with as GobblerD. Would love to hunt with him again. Guesswho, Catdaddy, Flintlock would all be good also. There's a bunch on here that I'd rather hunt with than the TV guys. Every year I hunt with 1-2 different guys, and it's a lot of fun to meet the guys you've chatted with over the years.

I would much rather share a tree with any OG members, especially the one that has gone above and beyond to help me this past year.   

To pick a TV personality though, David Blanton from Realtree and Brad Farris from Primos.   Just have been my favorites for a long time.

For me, it would be Ray Eye.  I've done shows with him in the past, and really admire his style of hunting and his approach to what most consider "uncallable" birds.  He's a hoot to be around too.

Wrong guy. Ray Eye didn't discover the squeeling hen call. That was done by Eddie Salter. BTW I heard the squeeling hen the other day. I couldn't figure out what was going on until I got in the backyard. My Rhode Island red rooster was whippin the tar out of my gobbler, Buddy, and he was squeeling like a hen.lol

Turkey Hunting is a participation activity not a spectator sport like soccer , football etc... We our selves get to play the game and enjoy it first hand- Me , you , and the guy in the next pine block are the Babe Ruth of turkey hunting - 

I reality there is no superstar Micheal Jordan for turkey hunting and one is not needed , no mater how hard some corporate entity try's to convince you that your happiness , validation, or  peer approval comes from admiring a fabricated TV persona

I cant speak for the rest of you but I wish there were some more down to earth folks doing shows rather than some cookie cutter guy and girl combo's "with too much makeup on", these combo's all look the same ,there must be a dozen of them all trying to be the next Lee and Tiffany {no disrespect}

That shows how much I know about it.  So scratch Ray Eye for me.  I think I'd like to go with TRKYHTR now.  He knows how to blow a diaphram call and I need to learn how.  Plus the chances of seeing a bird die would be pretty good.

I am by no means a celebrity.  Never been on TV, have no desire to even film my hunts.  I do however put on a lot of seminars, usually on waterfowl hunting, but occasionally turkey.  Take the over the top TV personalities out of the discussion, and there are some really great folks out there, and many on the list I've met.  I'm sure there are plenty of these folks who are in it for the fame and celebrity status, but there are lots more who put on seminars and talk to folks because they genuinely love the sport of hunting and like to talk to folks about hunting and even maybe teach something they've learned to someone else.  A lot of the same reasons folks get on websites like this one.

You are absolutely right, those type of folks are not superstars, and I don't think they want to be, so I see nothing wrong with wanting to share a day afield with them the same way you'd want to share a day afield with your neighbor or anyone from this site.
