LEARNING TO TURKEY HUNT / Re: "Sitting down to a turkey"...Last post by Davyalabama - Today at 08:28:22 AMGood advice has been given ----- listen to it ---- Yeah, I've done this a long time, still haven't learned to shoot left handed, just be ornery I guess. These type of birds is what makes it so much fun, frustrating, infuriating, keeps us coming back day after day, year over year. They come in the wrong way -- to the wrong side of the shooting shoulder, behind us, standing behind of clump of something and flies off or runs off when we stand up --- Dog-gone-it just come in and be killed why-dontcha.
Sitting to a bird, has already been mentioned, it's more about presence of the land, knowing the birds/particular turkey, the contours, and "where he wants to go and with whom." You can be in a great setting, everything perfect, but if that hen(s) come and take him off, you have several choices from there. However, if you already know which way they generally go when they all leave the roosts, be in that direction, let them come to you. I will say this about sitting on a ledge, that's the particular turkey -- some will come up a small rise, others will like to circle around you and come down on you. That's just the fun of it. This is what makes turkey hunting soooooo much fun, it's chess against a grandmaster that is participating for his life. #46

If so and they will shoot it, take them out together and do not pressure her. If she sees someone similar shooting it with no issues then it may calm her anxiety over it.

LEARNING TO TURKEY HUNT / Re: Do hens make a lot of soun...Last post by Davyalabama - Today at 08:15:16 AMThey are generally vocal, you may not can hear it. They a lot of times through the day make very soft gathering vocalizations, quick fights, etc. If you have an area where hens and gobblers don't talk a lot, you know they are there, then you will have to tailor your calling to that.

Turkey Hunting Tips ,Strategies & Methods / Re: #1 best turkey tip everLast post by Davyalabama - Today at 08:12:46 AM7 pages --- lot's of good stuff, you boys been doing this a while.
Well OP, I can't give you the Number 1 thing (too much sage advice on here) --- How about the number one thing for this time of year, it's mid February -- get out there and scout, try to follow a flock around all day, yep, all day -- listen to the sounds they make, the subtle sounds ---- these sounds through the day can get an old gobbler to come looking for that little hen -- listen to how the hens get jealous and have a quick "come to Jesus" meeting, how quick it can be --- listen to the scratching cadences --- pay attention to the "boss hen," figure out how to call her and get her temper flared, you'll need this in your back pocket later. Now, don't think where you see these turkeys is where they will always be, turkeys roam, you'll have to do that too throughout the season. Don't fret over mistakes you make, learn from them ---- In the days ahead, when you've killed a bunch, the ones that got away will be the ones you talk about the most. Also, if you know where he wants to be later in the day, he is still killable, period. One mistake is not the end of the story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's just the end of that chapter. |
