Turkey Thread of 2015

[jpdriver]

Turkey hunting is also a good opportunity time to also knock out a few Yotes too.... had several come to the turkey calls and the decoys in the past years.

Last year the first hunt in two new areas I had a yote come in within 15ft within 5min of calling. I ruined the hunts but there's two less yotes out there.

I would have done the same thing! You did right brother!

Went out this morning for the first time and talked to a few at daybreak but never saw them. Saw plenty of deer though just like you guys called it. Only 2 more weeks.

Went to my lease a while back and this is what our roads looked like....

got picked for ocmulgee. Scouted it last year too so I am excited. This will be my second time ever hunting turkey. And I love it.

I'm goin' after this gobbler with my old man. He was born around there and he grew up hunting along those railroad tracks in and around the WMA. He gave me a shotgun for Christmas a long time ago. I'm gonna use it to bag my first gobbler..knock on wood. Good luck hunting to all of you guys.

What is a good knife for breaking the bird down after plucking them? What do you guys use?

 

[JSoko]

I always see plenty at the house
I take 2 each year, then take other folks out that don't have the opportunity of a good spot

First double, 11" & 10-1/2" beards and 7/8" spurs

don't worry about doing any plucking; just get down to the skin and pull it off

nothing special needed
I use my small 3 blade buck folder, it's got a 3 inch blade

Ok cool I have a few that will easily work then and don't need to go buy anything.
