there are 7 gobblers in this bunch of turkeys.  I have been watchin em for a few weeks and have counted em myself.  soon they will be splitting up but there was a bunch more I had just drove up and parked at our family cabin when I got out I heard leafs rustling.  this was only a little bit of em.

Silencer

I'm all ready.  Had the 12yr old boy out shooting today and getting accustomed to the shotgun, this will be his first spring hunt.  He did pretty well.

Got my new Kee custom mouth calls, just need the season to get here. 

All these clips of birds are driving me crazy !!!

I hear ya Silencer. Just a few more weeks and me and my 16 year old daughter are gonna try and get after them.

The clips are making me antsie too, but keep em coming boys  :biggrin:

Edit..... I ain't yet got the hang of the mouth calls..... mostly just druel and spit  :doh2: but I got me a North Bay [Coulter] long box and slate and a Kee wing bone yelper this time around..... Clips are keeping me practicing

don't practice off me whistling.  that was just a little trick that dad taught me.  If I hear trukeys callin to each other in the fall I can normally get a lost one to show up within bow range in the fall.  being able to kill one with the bow is a totally different story.  I have had atleast three come in and either nail me when they came out the other side of the tree I missed on the one.  dad is the big turkey guy but the opener I will probably be close to there.

Good Ben.... cause the sounds I can make off them calls don't sound nothing like your whistling  :nono: I'll have so see how this season shapes up, but a turkey with a bow would be cool....... first thing first though. If if lucky enough to prod a gobbler to my freezer with the shotgun ..... then   :shrug:

Ben,

Were you eating crackers when you saw them birds? :eyebrownod:

I'm always ready to go turkey hunting, problem is the lack of turkeys and tracks at camp.  Been to camp alot this winter and didn't see a single bird or track. :shrug:

I don't expect a good season.  Might have to hunt a bit more closer to home.

  You guys are killing me with all these clips!   Can't wait!
 
Last year was my first try for turkeys, didn't bag one but had a blast anyway. This year I'm on my own, my hunting partner and mentor took a job in coyote heaven (New Mexico). So it's do or die by my own wits.  I'll need all the luck I can get!!

bigben

Hey Bill...

I don't know about DD and turkeys?  :confused:

Here's a photo he sent me... one of his "turkeys" he spotted recently.
