Thread: Gobble gobble

The blind squirrel finds a nut. 2:30pm
dont give up after first light
9" beard 1 1/8" spurs

congrat's!! our season starts soon, and may get out a few times....not a real big turkey hunter, but will go if I am down at the cabin(don't need to buy a tag..... landowner)

I believe most turkey hunters are like fishermen. They try too hard.
Walked into woods at 2:00. Sat down on good spot. Called once, fell
asleep. Wake up 20 min later and shoot turkey standing 20 yards away.
Back to truck at 2:45. ��

now that's my kind of hunting!!!!....I always liked deer hunting where I was done by 9am opening day & headed home

Proud for you...

Well done, sir. I'm just now back in the woods again and will try your method. No matter how early I go to bed, that dang alarm clock is an affront to my composure and hard to come to terms with in the early, early.

Went out early into the foggy, foggy dew. Heard no turkeys, but spent a little while sitting and calling. Came back to camp for a morning nap and was awakened from it by a gobble from a tom that was standing no more than four steps from my front porch. He stood there in full strut as I realized that my shotgun was still in the Jeep in the barn, and even if I'd had it, the only possible shot would be at his exhaust pipe as he went hypersonic when I opened the front door. Nothing to do but laugh and let him get far enough away so I could sneak out the back, get my gun and try to head him off. Didn't work. Never does. Dang turkeys

"Caloo, Callay, Oh frabjous day." Sweet revenge---I killed that gobbler that woke me from my nap yesterday. Yep, same one with a white streak on a middle tail feather. Eighteen and a half pounds with a long, skinny beard and decent spurs.

I tried Crazynewts method, but nothing happened---that's nothing with an intensity and momentum that is seldom seen in South Alabama.

I used the fan trick to kill this one, bringing him in at a run from 150 yards away. I shot him at eleven steps, after he had taken nine steps away from me. If you're on the pier and bored, I'll tell you the whole exciting story.

Haywire kill turkey.
Haywire happy.
Haywire not hear The Voices for a while.

Congrats Haywire! I killed one last week in a thunderstorm. I used my funky chicken decoy to lure him in. I was asleep and then he gobbled at the sound of thunder, woke me up to see it attacking the decoy. Those funky chicken decoys are the best decoy hands down. Best spent $30.
