Gobbler Nation

Great pictures Ticeman! Post up some more if you get a chance.

Yes to all three, each generation has had and will have it's best turkey hunters. Turkey hunting has really evolved over the last 50-60 years. Early on, the best turkey hunters were roost shooters and it wasn't considered unethical at the time. It was considered a great feat to sneak up on a gobbler...

That kid has some serious talent! Old school rock too!

Full foliage for me. I can get in better position to work a bird with some cover. Before the foliage, the turkeys definitely have the advantage.

Call making, bow hunting for deer, bass fishing and coaching baseball. Been coaching for about 8 years now and my son is now 13. He told me recently that he really wants to play college baseball. He said South Carolina would be his first choice, then Florida State or LSU. I just smiled and said &quo...

Gotta agree with Ma...the first gobbles of the year will get you in the right mood.

I have been using the same decoys for several years. I looked at getting some new ones........wow, those things are expensive. I mainly use them to keep the turks eyes off me......ask RaspyD.......I move around more that someone getting into a wasp nest! True statement! Remember them old Feather Fl...

Tube for me as well. I have mine set up to use for gobbling and cutting so my yelping isn't what I'd like it to be. Might have to set up another tube for yelping and get busy practicing.

Not sure we should consider the use of that turkey hunting???

Its probably my favorite to watch.. It adds so much more to the calling when you put it in a scenario..

It sure does...more of a natural flow to the calling.

I'm really enjoying watching the team calling challenge.

RaspyD turned me onto the UA vest. My feelings are the same as yours.....NO WAY! I've got a $20 strap vest from Wal Mart and so far it has worked out great. As much as I love UA gear. ... you just have to draw the line somewhere. Just for the record, I don't have a UA vest. I knew the CamoMan was a...

Congrajulations on a fine caller.. One day I will put a peg to one.. ICED, I am open to trades ;) Funny stuff, bomb boy! I guess running calls is easy for you.....

Heck you were the one person I put in his league because you have to drag Camoman around..

Haha! That's pretty funny!

Remember, CamoMan says he has "issues".

Pretty sure that guy is a Prostaffer for the infamous CamoMan.

Bump for the new members.

Thanks!

Yes, and I would shoot them with a camera.

Do hens ever call with a broken rhythm compared to the definition above? Does every vocalization have a rhythm? I think all communications, including those of turkeys, have some type of rhythm to them. We just may not always recognize the rhythm or associate it with having any true meaning. We've a...

Ummm....I needed it for the picture.

Make sure your striker tips are clean so they will actually grab the calling surface. You can clean them with scotch-brite (the stuff on the back of a dish washing sponge) or some 220 grit sand paper.

I really can't say what he does, but let's say..........................HE'S A WEIRDO!!!!!!!! Does Raspy still climb up in a tree and jump out while he's flappin his Walmart bag to add realism? Those James Wood grads never were wrapped too tight! Don't y'all be jealous of my ninja turkey huntin' sk...
