Gobbler Nation

I sure hope you kill this gobbler, once and for all! And by the way my Mossberg 835 kicks like a Mule too!!! But what an awesome gun and you know, I only feel the kick when patterning the gun, never when shooting a bird!!!! Good hunting! Our season here in PA. doesn't until the last Saturday of the ...

need a "Yankee" hunting partner next spring????

211-220 Thanks....

beautiful gobbler! congrat's!

Very nice gobbler! Private or public land?

Have you tried a Tom decoy? I have had great success with those when the gobbler you're after notices the decoy they usually come over to investigate the "other" dominant bird in their area. I also try to put out some hen decoy's as well. I like your idea of just scratching in the leaves.....

Is that truly the way you want to kill this gobbler? Ambush him right off the roost. Isn't the "hunt" about setting up, calling, luring him in...perhaps pulling him away from his own hens? That's what I call hunting! But it's whatever floats your boat! Good luck.

great job, sure makes it more difficult when they have "lock-jaw" and are not gobbling.....

I would have immediately shot that poor deer, period!

One beautiful bird, one fantastic story. Glad you finally got him!!!! Now onward to find a new "houdini"......

I've got an older Mossberg pump 835 with a Kicks .660 choke and I can't get anywhere near that pattern with 3 1/2" 5's......

Ive finally accomplished my first personal grand slam and would like to work on my second. Can anyone recommend an outfitter for Merriam's turkeys? It's been years since I shot mine and the outfitters is no longer in business....

I put the bead on the wattles where the feathers join the neck then squeeze off the shot. The pattern will hit the turkey in the head, neck and lower neck with this aim point! This is my opinion, what do you other guys think?

Was in Florida for Bike Week and decided to do some turkey hunting in Volusia County. Went out this morning and did not hear a peep on the roost. Crow calls, owl hoots, even a fire engine in the distance and no shock gobbles. Moved to another area and after getting situated made a soft call on my sl...

I'm from Pennsylvania and here for Bike Week but will be hunting Saturday morning in southern Volusia County, FL. for that elusive Osceola gobbler! Have hunted here three times without any success, hope this year is the charm. Only need the Osceola for my "personal grand-slam"..... good lu...

WOW, all of the successful hunts in the forum and we still have not even started here in Pennsylvania. The season doesnt not open until next Saturday. Hens are already nested here due to early warm weather during the late winter. Hope we have some good hunting. Will be hunting Connecticut Wednesday ...
