Who is ready for the TURKS?????

[Buckski]

Who is ready to get out and shoot a nice bird?
Been out once so far and no luck.
But itching to get a bird into range and close the deal.
Hopefully we can post some pictures of nice birds in this space and share out hunting stories!

GOOD LUCK TO ALL YOU TURKEY SLAYERS!!!!!!!!!

My buddy and i have a bunch of longbeards scouted out, hopefully a couple of them will want to play next monday.  It would be very nice to tag out the first week so we can get after the walleyes!!!

Beerman and I are gonna be out there next monday for sure

I work with a bunch of Turkish guys and they are always talking about Turkey ( I think they spell it Turkiye) getting admitted to the european union....so I thought this thread was about that...Turks getting admitted to the EU....I got a laugh out of it anyway.  I havn't hunted turkeys in quite a few years.  I would like to get out a little more for them, but I never seem to have the time.

Yeah those early morning really get to ya by the end of the month.
Afternoon nap sounds good right now!ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Back now just a little snooze. Those yellows should be cooperating after the evening of the 5th!

Lets get some longbeards and take the pictures to check out!

Gotta get up too early in the morning for me to shoot one of those suckers   It's definitely a good time of year though to do a "cast n blast" combo.  Get your gobbler early in the morning and hit the water for walleyes, trout or panfish later on and then pass out after lunch from getting up at 3am to go turkey hunting

That sounds VERY familiar! I'm more than ready!!

[fishboy]

I'm not ready......will be by Mon.  I am really looking forward to it though.  Been seeing lots of big Toms by the big red barn where the dog always barks   You know the spot, over near the trailer with the toys out front and the satellite dish   Good luck to all.....except the turkeys!

Went out once for youth season. One called in hen, no jakes or toms. Can't wait until Monday!

My son and grandson were out Sunday. The 12 yr old got a 20# with a 9" beard. Took it to the taxidermist for a fan and chest mount. The kid is still flying high.

That's awesome, Jerry! Good for him... 

I was at my spot in LSP this morning before dawn and heard some activity as things woke up. Not quite the spot I thought so I high-tailed it out of there.
At least now I know I have to make a minor change in my plan of attack.
I'm looking forward to it!

Good Job jerry keep those young bucks into the sport with sucess.
Love that earlier youth hunt, too bad we had no luck!
GREAT IDEAL....

I'm ready! I think? First time turkey hunting ever. New shotgun, turkey choke, camo, decoy and call. Anything else! oh, I have a location also. I like FLB's idea. Tag out and hit the eyes! Thats the plan anyway?

Get ready to be abused! Those d**n birds mess with you in more ways than you can imagine. You're going to love it though!

Nothing like working a bird for two hours and something happens?  LIKE
Movement of a hunter
Hen running in
Other hunter coming to the call?
Coyote or fox runing to the call.
Wild dog strolling in the woods
ECT and everything you would not expect.

That is why it is the MOST difficult species to hunt, except maybe fox and yotes calling them in.

Wisht the bird hunting was a slam dunk, but its VERY humbling even for the best of hunters

i dont get out anymore like i used to. i prefer to hit em with my truck    and dont get me wrong.....i LOVE wild turkey, but its hard for me to invest the time during a prime fishing period  when i can go to price chopper, and pick one up for 59 cents a pound.....not to mention the work it saves


  but thats just me
