Round 2 was interesting as well! Colt slept in but course the Ole man wasnt gonna miss the second day of turkey season! I figured I would give the same set up a try, I didnt feel real good about it but its hard not to spend the morning in my big ole office chairs I have in the shootin house! But trust me, it wasnt without excitement!
I had this lil fella roll in right after daylight and jacked up one of my decoys, had the trees not been alive with birds gobblin he woulda been mine but I didnt wanna spook my gobblers that were roosted close by. What this Yote needs to remember is
"Revenge is a meal best served cold"
I will get his A$$ before its over!

At first I didnt think he hurt it but as the sun came up this is what I had left? I really like these Sceery blow up decoy's cause their easy to pack and they look realistic, This one is needing a patch though! :confused:

The deer were mighty curious this morning too as they wouldnt leave em alone either

This hen was in a lil mood as well as she came in and tried to whip the decoy she is standing next to but I aint gotta patch her!

I did have a few jakes get in the decoys around 1030am but I was done so I had to run them off so I could leave!
That's another great morning hunt! I think I would've had to blast that coyote though. He sure chewed up that decoy. :laf:
It's funny how he trots up to the decoys and not think "Why ain't these turkeys flying away?" :laf:
Cool deal Doug!! Great pics & Thanks for sharing!!
Our season is 2 weeks & a wake-up away. :biggrin:
That was a cool little outing.
I wish I could have seen the coyotes face when he tore into the decoy and it deflated instead of screaming. :alscalls:
Well now I know your a turkey hunter and not a coyote hunter :eyebrownod:. That was cool as heck and thanks a bunch for taking us along. :bowingsmilie:

Ouch! That hurt! :pout:
To be honest Barry, I really dont care anything about killin a Yote with a shotgun :shrug: I would rather kill him with a rifle at 200 plus yds (And I'll get my chance) However I've probably killed 10+ while turkey hunting with a shotgun and had the trees not been full of something I really enjoy eating I would have spanked him!
Had I known he was gonna rip a chunk outta my decoy it woulda been a different story too :shrug:

Sorry Doug :sad: :sad:
It's just that I am always getting in dutch cause if a coyote comes a calling I'm obliged to shoot. CO got so mad at me on a deer hunt he wouldn't hunt with me the rest of that year :alscalls:. My buddys know not to come running thinking I shot the big buck anymore :wink:.

To be honest Barry, If the Man that lets me have free range of his place thought I let one slip by he wouldnt be happy either!
I wont tell if you dont :wink:
:confused: You shot the coyote or the Tom? I'm assuming the coyote. :shrug:
Coyote of course our season for turkeys isnt for a few weeks i was just doing alittle scouting to find out where the birds were and He just happened to be in the wrong place trying to get some breakfast .
Im sorry guys that i didnt make my first post alittle clearer i would never hunt anything out of season and always obay every law to the fullest i cant stand a poacher but after rereading what i wrote i can see where i wasnt very clear on what i shot sorry for the confusment. RB.
I knew what you were saying, riverboss. :laf: I never thought you were hunting turkeys with a rifle, not in KY anyways. :eyebrownod:
I was purdy sure you meant the coyote too. After reading that post tho I could see where it could be confusing. And in the eyes of the wrong person they would naturally assume you meant the big male turkey. By making my post & you replying the way you did everything is crystal clear & nobody can doubt you shot the correct critter on that day. :biggrin: :biggrin:
Nothing more. Nothing less. :biggrin:
I usually go to Virgina every year to turkey hunt a bit and there its legal to hunt em with rifle's as well as a bunch of states out west.
Now thats my kind of turkey hunting! :biggrin:

Why do some states allow it and others don't :confused:. Is safety the issue or am I missing something here? Not having them around I only get to talk about them here.
Im not sure why but i would sure love to give it a try altho i believe i would kill more with my shotgun because there head moves around alittle to much sometimes its hard with a shotgun to get a bead on them and i believe a body shot wouldnt leave much to eat with a rifle.
Thanks Hammer i sent Ed a cell phone pic after i shot him i would of posted some pic on here but my dialup and old computer and lack of computer skills has my hands tied ive got afew LBL pic i tried to post and spent the better half of a day for nothing so i dont even bother anymore but some day i will get my internet where i want it.
You're Welcome riverboss. I understand your dial up woes. I started on dial up originaly myself. Once I realized what all I could do on here we went with the cable internet. More expensive but at least it works all the time. Our old phone lines here wouldn't pass the signal thru on a soaking wet day like today. :rolleye:
Doug-- Sorry to hijack your thread buddy!! :biggrin: You turkey hunting all this week or just the weekends? Good Luck busting another one!! :yoyo: :yoyo:
No Worries HaMeR, I wish I could hunt all week! But unfortunately I have an annoying little habit of eating :biggrin: so that means I gotta work :confused:
I wanna kill a couple more pretty quick cause with the weather were having their killing the Hybrid stripe and the Rockfish here by the house and I wanna get me some a dat!
Congrats again on your Yote Riverboss! Everybody's bustin my chops for not shootin that one that raped my decoy :innocentwhistle:

Yeah that food things a killer. :laf: :laf: You'll get another bird I'm sure. Don't worry about that coyote you let go. It'll get what it has coming too. :wink:
