Turkey hunting forum for turkey hunting tips

Now this is only a theory, but has worked twice this year, so it must be the key. On my 2 solo hunts in Maine this year they were both in the afternoon and I stopped at McDonald's on the way there. Here is the key, you need to order a 2/$5 deal. Quarter pounder with cheese no onions and extra pickles and a 10 piece mcnugget with sweet and sour and barbecue sauces. Clincher is a medium root beer. I am not very superstitious, but if it helps me kill turkeys, then I will do almost anything. Good luck and God Bless  :funnyturkey:

That'll work..at least you won't get hungry while your waiting for a bird

I would need extra toilet paper in my vest lol.

McNuggets and sweet and sour. Better have a whole roll.  :funnyturkey:

That's funny right there

Only in the woods 30 mins including the walk in and back both times, I held it  :funnyturkey:

Ever forget your toilet paper and have to cut your underwear off to use?

Lol.. A buddy of mine had a similar superstition. Large fry and large sweet tea headed to the deer stand.

There been many a buck killed with fry and sweet tea on his breath.

I will adapt this procedure for next year for sure since it is fool proof. I do have a question: if i switch out the sweet and sour for a spicy sauce, will this procedure fail?

Bad juju to change a winner, lol. You need to read the fine print on any guarantee. Mine is one of those Daffy Duck contracts  :funnyturkey:

Did you notice McDonalds found the key to robbing you? They made the patties smaller and thinner and didn't lower the price. I never go there so I guess it's a mute point but seems no one talks bout that.

Yes Sin sei

Heading to Maine on Friday, but you can bet I won't be stopping at MacDonalds.  Hoping to snag some lobster rolls, whole belly longneck clams, and a few oysters.

I can get those anytime, gobblers are under a time crunch. I take too many other people hunting  :funnyturkey:

Sure, rub it in

I can tell you what doesn't work in New Mexico:  green chili burritos the night before

How many people are in your hunting group?

This year was myself,  my wife and daughter, 5 friends and two mentorees from NWTF/ NHF&G seminar. Everybody except the mentorees got t least one bird. We took 9 birds all together. Not bad seeing my wife and daughter are in their second year and my best friend has only been 3 times. Lots of enthusiasm but little experience. They are learning as am I. My biggest regret is no opportunity for one of my mentorees, he put the effort in but had no luck. The other put no effort in and he got what he deserved. All tolled, we had a great year. Al Baker

I used to buy a box of Ding dongs every season and have one on the way hunting. Then someone broke the JuJu and it quit working, so don't mess with the JUJu Zelmo has going in Maine. As for the toilet paper, if you hunt with me you know more than bears crap in the woods. I sometimes have paper and sometimes I don't. That is why God created May apples,  the leaves make good emergency TP. I'm telling you he thought of everything.

It is my contention that a McDonald's hamburger is the only thing in the world with just one side.   

I usually hunt hungry, it makes me meaner & more likely to want to kill.  I carry dried fruit & nuts in my vest so I can stay longer if necessary.  My hunting buddies also know that and always hit me up when they're hungry.

What should a person do when the 2/5$ deal ends?

You can still order it, just $7  :funnyturkey: I aint breakin the juju no way

Seems to me that there are enough "Ding Dongs" out there in the turkey woods already...

Laughed out loud at your response. But will the additional $2 change the mystic value?

There may be something to this, I talked to a buddy at work today and he gets the same thing but he gets the onions. He never mounted his gun this year.  This is science guys , hard facts and numbers. Me, %100, him %0. Numbers don't lie  :funnyturkey:

Just hope that the ingredients for your hamburger don't come from China or even the $7 won't buy it. Somehow, I suspect that the China tariff thing is a great opportunity for businesses to raise the prices of everything, then slowly decrease the price just a little like the gasoline stations do.

No more onions for me

Deer season 2 years ago.  Fried pork chops for lunch. 1/2 mile walk to our afternoon stands   20 minutes in the tree my belly rumbled.  I came down fast.  Didnt make it far and had to sacrifice the sleeves on my thermals.

Maybe it is not the onions for your friend but the wrong mix of foods, for instance his combination maybe two Big Mac's. Your hypothesis is sound but there needs to be more field research including samples of products from Burger King, Wendy's , and for good measure Popeye's. I suspected turkey hunting ability had nothing to do with woodsman ship, calling and all that other stuff and you proved it....LOL

If you have blind luck constantly, then use it. Don't look a gift turkey in the mouth  :turkey2:

So true, I have a friend that consistently does it wrong and manages to kill gobblers on a regular basis but his luck is incredible.

I make a plan, then deviate per mission, lol. Best way to hunt turkeys is with a good attitude and never give up. We have all the technology and weapons and are still inferior. If you win once in a while then you have accomplished something.  :turkey2:

I'd need a roll of tp for the woods if I stopped and ate at MCDONALD'S on my way to hunt Turkey.

Can't beat a scientific experiment!! ;D :TooFunny:

Update, McDonald's parking lot may be a spot too. Taking a ride drinking my coffee this morning and saw 2 giant Toms strutting across the parking lot  :funnyturkey:

 He's moving too fast even for a run n gun. Nah, I think he's looking for a May Apple tree.

This method may be used and adapted anywhere, this is just a starting point. It just works here.  :turkey2:

If I had to rely on that exact method to kill a bird, I'd just as soon swallow the end of the gun barrel and eat what's coming out the other side.

Just an observation, other " voodoo " methods work too. Like scouting and good woodsmanship  :funnyturkey:
