turkey

[sigfour]

Anyone else been annoying the wife, friends, neighbors or anyone within earshot with turkey calling practice? I am getting excited to go hunting again after archery deer and javelina came and went so quickly. This is usually the last hunt until late august besides coyote/varmit hunts. This is also the time to find sheds and brag about the elk/goat tags we drew. GOBBLE GOBBLE -Sig

No turkey tag this year. I had a tag last year for 3B and I got blown off the mountain. The wind was so horrible (70-80 mph) that the birds wouldn't leave there roost unless they were blown off by the wind. Good luck on your hunt and post some pics when you get back.

No tag for me this year.

I gotta admit, I dont hunt turkeys much so I never thought I'd be much good at it. I went out with a buddy 2 years ago and actually found one dumb enough to come into my terrible calling...

Good luck, post us some pics.

I've been hunting turkeys since before I met my wife in 1987, she's used to it and we have a sort of pre-nup thing going regarding hunting. I don't practice that much anymore, as I seldom call more that a few clucks with a diaphragm call while hunting. I (and the birds I hunt) prefer friction calls and once they are tuned up it doesn't take much.

I normally spend a couple of weeks hunting turkeys in the spring and get lots of practice then.

I drew again this year and I am stoked. Called in a big tom last year at first light opening morning and he must have run a mile to get some goody. Turned out to be Benelli goody. Good luck on your hunts.

Stickers- what unit were you in? My buddy wnet up to 6a this morning for the juniors hunt and he said most of the roads are closed due to snow/moisture. He said the forest service said it could be a week or two until they open.
