Turkey Tips with Moultrie Ambassador Sam Soholt

Moultrie, the leading innovator of feeders, trail cameras and game management tools, has teamed up with ambassador Sam Soholt to provide five expert tips for a successful turkey harvest this spring. Soholt, host of the "Field & Stream Legends of the Wild" podcast and the seasonal turkey hunting podcast "Roost," is recognized as a foremost authority in the turkey hunting community.

"At Moultrie, we're focused on giving hunters the insights they need to be successful in the field," said James Denhalter, head of community marketing at Moultrie. "Combining Sam's expertise with tools like our EDGE Series trail cameras allows hunters to scout smarter and approach the season with confidence."

  1. Utilize Trail Cameras for Scouting: Deploying Moultrie EDGE Series trail cameras in known turkey habitats can offer valuable insights into flock sizes and movement patterns. This strategy enhances understanding of turkey behavior and aids in identifying prime hunting locations.
  2. Position Relative to Birds: Approaching turkeys from an equal or higher elevation increases the likelihood of a successful call-in. Turkeys are more inclined to move uphill or across level terrain than to descend.
  3. Repositioning When Birds Hang Up: If a gobbler becomes unresponsive, remaining silent and then repositioning to the opposite side can re-engage the bird. A strategic move of approximately 100 yards may prompt the turkey to close the distance.
  4. Using Moultrie AI: Utilize Smart Tags in the Moultrie App to quickly filter through your gallery so you only see turkey images in the spring, to ensure you're saving time and battery life.
  5. Patience Kills: Allowing events to unfold naturally on the turkey's timeline often leads to greater success. Patience is a key component in turkey hunting, as rushing can often alert and deter the birds.

"I love using Moultrie cams for everything from turkeys to deer to ducks," said Soholt. "Being able to watch wild animals act naturally in their environment makes my day every time another video comes through."
