I hear you on that! Always fun to watch that go down. Better when its coming into you or your friends.Ahhh this wasn't you then. I was about a half mile away watching this guy call it in from the ground. Id post it but I don't want to burn the spot.
Haha! He is bound to get horny sooner or later. I wonder if he was with hens? I've heard they will splif off from the hens mid morning/mid day. Maybe you can get him to come over then?
Dang.
Yeah. If I did my part lol. I didn't realize how "slow" they fly, at least compared to dove and quail. My first shot was out front, second skimmed him and third I was like "screw it, I'm holding right on him" and he went down like a sack of potatoes.
do we start a skybusting thread for turkeys now?
nice job dude, public land is getting it done
Yes, sure was. On Friday morning, there were two gobblers there. I saw the one fly down from roost, so went back there on Saturday. Was told that someone over there on private owns domestic turkeys. There was only one gobbler on Saturday. I think I was calling a caged bird!!! LOL, joke is on me. Hunted different areas in the same general area for 3 days without luck. Saw three hens and heard a few gobblers on public, but no luck for me. Still trying to learn … but turkey hunting on public is difficult for sure. One thing I have learned, my calling needs a lot of work. I think I just scare the birds away (except for the caged birds, haha).
