Turkey Hunting Tips ,Strategies & Methods / Re: Whats in your satchel?

Last post by Davyalabama - January 30, 2026, 02:32:10 PM

I've run a satchel for a few years, no, not Mrs. Glenda's, I'm too cheap. I have -- not ranked in any order -- two Lynch boxes - 80's vintage calls, a scratch box, a unique slate call-Dan Harris purrr-fect hen, a VO Johnson quill call, a homemade wingbone - by your's truly, -- clippers for brush/briars, blue chalk, extra rubber bands, small green scratch pad - strikers (several - one an old, old, corn husk), small thing of deet, gloves, face mask, extra derwent XL charcoal, payday candy bar - pro ears stealth 28 htbt (ear's aren't what they once were) -- That's about enough in that thing, isn't it? I do have stuff in my pockets, too.

I wish the clowns I run into on public had the same attitude as the folks here! If someone is there I will generally stop for a chat, even if I do not hunt there I try and see what there plans are.

I rarely hunt an area with others in it, but if I talk to a guy and he says he is going to somewhere specific I may enter at the same place and hunt an entirely different area.

On smaller tracts of public I will more likely just roll on by though.

I once parked at a spot with zero others there, came out early after being interrupted by some clown, walked the road back and there were 6 vehicles between me and mine, maybe a mile distance.

LEARNING TO TURKEY HUNT / Re: Knowing When NOT To Pull t...

Last post by eggshell - January 30, 2026, 01:49:55 PM

I do want to fill every tag I purchase and kill number, size nor age matters very little, but I do want to call them in. It's one more hunt and dang we like eating them. In line with the thread, I don't want to blow an opportunity on poor shot choice. It's a big world and we all have different likes and dislikes so be blessed in whatever you do. My goal is to be able bodied enough to get 60 years of turkey hunting in. This spring will be 55. Hopefully I'll get a few bonus years in too, I am about to turn 71. On the other hand I can let a bird walk and be just fine with that too. I have killed my share but there's always room for one more.
