Title: Fall turkey
Post by: KySongDog on October 27, 2012, 02:30:47 PM
Today was opening day for fall shotgun season.   I was out wandering around when I heard this guy start yelping down in the thick stuff by the creek.   So I sat down and called a couple of times on a diaphram call when his head popped out of the bushes about 25 yards away.   7 3/4 inch beard and 1 inch spurs.

Congrats to you too, Pat!   That is one heck of a honey hole you got there.  I still can't believe how many birds we saw last December.

Looks like there will be turkey for Thanksgiving.  Can you shoot hens as well as toms in the fall?  We can here in Ohio and I was just wondering.

I was using one of Lonehowl's calls.  I had ordered a couple of his diaphragm howlers and he threw in a couple of other calls that I thought might work in the turkey woods. And they did.   :biggrin:
