Went to Cabelas yesterday & pulled the trigger on a new vest finally. I think I'm gonna like this one for a long time to come.

I shot two birds last year..........called several for other folks......non of the birds asked what kinda vest I had on.. :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:

HaMeR · March 08, 2009, 10:24:54 AM

Yep!! I like to wear a vest so I went & bought a better one than the one I had.

Just keep shootin em the way you do Al.

I know the vest won't/doesn't/can't/aint never gonna make me a better hunter. It's just the way I like to roll. Different strokes right??

Sweet vest for sure.

Heck, half the fun of hunting is getting ready. New vest, new calls, patterning new shells, new camo hat, scouting, talking about it, etc. I should get a vest. I have a nylon belt that has a day pack bag on each side and a seat haning from the back. When I set up, I dig everything out; slate call, box call, push buton call, copper call, headnet, camo gloves, strikers. Then I put them in a semi circle around me and sit down. Takes forever, but I can't get into the bags too well while sitting on the ground.

HaMeR · March 08, 2009, 12:55:13 PM

There are other vests out there for a lot less money. With that comes less organization tho. My 1st vest had pockets VS the pouches for the individual calls. It sucks trying to drag a box call out of a pocket. The strikers ended up in the bottom of the pockets too. Now it's all organized where I can find it when I need it without any hassle. There's nothing wrong with any of the vests. It all boils down to personal preference. My Brother has killed gobblers with a shotgun, slate call & a striker. It don't get much more basic than that unless you ambush em over a feeder in the AM.

Just bustin your chops HaMer.......If Diane said you could have it .......you better grab it man..

HaMeR · March 08, 2009, 01:18:44 PM

I know you were Al. Just didn't want any of the new folks thinking the wrong thing is all.

Besides,, I had $$ left over from Red Bird.

HaMeR · April 05, 2009, 07:39:32 AM

The Toms were struttin & gobblin their fool heads off this AM everywhere we went!!! The hens were chasing them around!! We seen 4 Toms & heard two others gobbling. Also 2 Jakes were fanning but not gobbling. Hens everywhere & they kept the Toms gobbling as they travelled thru the woods in search of them. Today was the 1st AM that it was decent enough to get out & scout. The rest of the weekends ahve been rainy, windy or both. This AM was a cool crisp 32.6* when we left the house & the Toms were on fire!!

I aint gonna be worth a damn at work for the next 2 weeks now.

Bills Custom Calls · April 05, 2009, 07:57:39 AM

Yeap Chris and I went for a walk last evening just before sundown and we could hear some toms
off in the distance and got to see one fly up to the roost

The bad part about that is I am not allowed to hunt there I can walk around there but can't hunt it

I think if I could get a more expierenced turkey caller to hunt with me we could call them off there

HaMeR · April 05, 2009, 08:09:29 AM

All the Toms today were out of bounds for me too Bill. Just keep an eye on them. A lot can happen in two weeks. They just might be looking for more hens by then in your area. I will help you out if I can but as usual,, no promises. Maybe Al can make it up this way. You do the scouting & he'll do the calling. Let us know.

Bills Custom Calls · April 05, 2009, 08:37:13 AM

Sounds like it should work

alscalls · April 05, 2009, 09:36:30 AM

We can make this happen for sure...as long as I dont find a job first.....but we should be able to hunt Sundays too.

That we can do

HaMeR · April 05, 2009, 02:02:22 PM

I seen another nice Tom this afternoon & two more huge ones. Plus I just got permission to hunt there for groundhogs,coyotes crows. I have to wait & see about the turkeys tho. If there are other hunters there already I don't want to show up & torque somebody off with a turkey choke in a 12ga.
