That’s what makes it so much fun-you get to match wits with turkeys and try to make them come to you when it’s actually the hens that normally come to them.
There is no such thing as a stupid question when it comes to turkey hunting.....it’s a learning experience every season, regardless of how long you have been doing it.
I would think that there is a possibility that if some deer busted you, they could have associated the deer’s reaction with a predator of some sort. I’m sure that they both feed off of each other in that regard. If you have a lot of coyotes, that could be the case.
The exact brand of call will be determined by what brand fits you best, since our palates are all different. For beginners, I would stick with a simple single or double reed call. Triple reeds and all of the funky cut reeds are for more advanced calling.
My personal preference is a Pecker Wrecker Calls Feather Duster.
I have no doubt that animals warn each other, intentional or not. Squirrels have ruined more than one deer hunt for me, and I am certain spooked deer can ruin a turkey hunt. Turkeys may not look smart, but they are one of the smartest birds for sure.
I did not get to go this weekend. Too busy. Disappointing, but that's life.
Turkeys are smart, too smart really. If they had a deer’s sense of smell, they’d be almost unkillable.
This year’s opener was one of the prettiest in recent years, hate that you missed it.
I was bummed to have to be working today, but I packed all of my stuff for a hunt after my shift ends in the morning.
I spent all of yesterday summerizing the box stands and spraying roundup in the food plots to kill off some thistle that's taken over. I did see a bunch of turkey sign in the food plots and had one fly across the road on my way out. I hope to get out there soon.
Missed opening day, my kid had softball all day. Skipped church Sunday morning and went out. Called this one in for my buddy. Now it’s my turn, my property is covered up with turkey sign right now.
Nice bird. Congratulations.
Did you get it on a wma?
