Gobbler Nation

Doesn't appear to me that you or your son did anything wrong, he just didn't get the shot he wanted. It also appeared that the gobbler was never really confident that he should have been messing around there in the first place. My son, who is 12, has 3 deer seasons and 2 turkey seasons under his bel...

what call has been the most productive call in your vest? Besides mouth calls, I have four calls that never leave my vest. My Screamin Demon pot call, a wingbone yelper that I made a few years ago (wingbone mouth piece with a turned maple barrel), and two box calls. One, a Perfection box call that ...

Random thoughts I have: 1. There are already so many weapons like the kind used in Newtown out there that if you ban them, their value will skyrocket. Imagine what people will do to get one then. 2. People with bad intentions will do bad things with whatever is available. 3. If schools had only one ...

Congrats!! You did save those wing bones??

Had an incredible morning with my son Jack and our good friend Avery on Youth Day! Several gobblers tried to attack a jake that was trying to do obscene things to the DSD hen decoy and Jack was able to get on one of the longbeards and spoil the party. It was truly a hunt we will never forget!! The b...

Congrats Jay! Best of luck to the both of you!!

I only have one question...who pulls the trigger on the first longbeard that comes into range this season???

First you need a Squatch locator...you could call it the Squat-n-Howl. Think I saw CamoMan doing that during deer season??? Said something about his belly hurtin' but I think he had some kinda prototype call he was workin' on. :D Don't forget the Squealin' Squatch...that should bring one running in!...

I'm in. 76, 77, 78, 79, 80....man, those were the good ol' days! Now, if I could just get lucky and win??

Yep...and sometimes you just can't polish a turd.

Keep that stuff up North...don't want any down here now!

I think it depends on how much you hunt with said partner. I imagine once you hunt with someone long enogh, you get to know what eachother is gonna do in most situations and it becomes more and more comfortable. As in any relationship, there would have to be trust and that has to be earned over tim...

I always find it interesting to compare stories of the hunt when hunting with a partner. Two people taking part in the hunt will often have different takes on the events of that hunt. I do find that I hunt more conservatively when hunting with someone vs. hunting alone. Sometimes that's a good thing...

Hope all is well now and you are on the road to recovery.

I think that arrogance is all relative to where you're huntin' 'em. If a fella has a honey hole or two that no one else is hunting then he is gonna be fairly successful whether he is a great turkey hunter or not. That success leads to the arrogance. Put a great hunter on heavily hunted land and he w...

RaspyD from the top of Virginia.

Yep, sure wish I could afford one :cry: :cry: Do you want Mike to send it directly to Raspy D or are you going to give it to him so he can get practiced up.. :shock: Better just send it to me. I would be more than happy to break it in for The CamoMan. Come to think of it, I made Kevin a fine wingbo...

Anyone who puts limitations on the things we enjoy in life allows for our rights to become priviledges. We do not have any rights in this country. Think about it. And the people let this happen. Sad Sad Sad. You had the right to speak your mind. ;) And the people did let that happen. :thumbleft: Th...

That's the million dollar question...what makes a gobbler commit to calling? An example I have is a buddy and I were calling to 4 gobblers 150 yards out in a pasture. We could see them with 2 hens. After 20 minutes of being rudely ignored calling to them on a raspy mouth call I flipped over the call...

Happy Birthday Shawn!

Kevin said he would buy you breakfast when we get together in February.

I would shoot the looker. He might be the looker because he has had his butt whipped for gobbling when he shouldn't have. It might take him a few days to figure out he is allowed to gobble if the strutter is gone. Whereas the strutter is obviously in love with himself and would likely gobble the nex...

.....And then catching movement out of the corner of my eye or hearing footsteps in the leaves -- it sends me almost into an adrenalin overdose that leaves me exhausted if it lasts too long.........Or maybe its because I know a bird like that is on high alert and his eyes and ears are totally tuned...

I want to hunt where you hunt because that's not the case here.
IMO, there are never any always' when it comes to turkey hunting.

I think there are as many or more turkeys now than there has ever been. I also believe that in some areas turkeys don't gobble like they did 20-25 years ago. Think of it in deer hunting terms. In an area that has an abundant doe population, big buck sightings are rare. In an area with a balanced her...
