I bought one when they were first released. I have a few of Rickey's already, and it plays the same. I can get good rasp out of it, but I think this caller has more "pop" to it if you know what I mean. It's a good caller.   

I ran one and thought it had less pop than the Mopani I have from him.
It isn't a bad trinket though. They seem to be very popular.

Turkey Hunting Tips ,Strategies & Methods / Re: What Does Killing A Turkey...

Last post by mountainhunter1 - March 13, 2026, 09:22:35 PM

I might have to kill a few more before I start letting birds walk that I intentionally set up on and called in to shoot. I think I'll make that a goal for my 70 th season. This is 55, so in 15 years and I'll be 86 or dead by then

There was a time that I would not have even considered letting a good bird walk away, but our numbers are way down here where I live, and I worry the future of the wild turkey. So I decided to start letting some walk and have also intentionally not filled my last tag here at home several times in recent years. Hopefully our numbers will pick back up at some point.  But there is also a joy in letting something live to another day. Was not always like that, but the older I get, it is not all about killing any more. And thank the Lord for that!!

Passing on a game you could have shot really makes them way more special to you... I know for some it will be usual business, but for me it wasn't. This fall I set-up on a place where I know a few does always come every night, I was crossbow hunting, and that doe I was waiting for came out, came right to 20 yards, but I already had shot a doe the week before and I let her pass... And the fun thing is, everytime I talk about my deer season this fall, I always mention this doe that I passed. I don't know, it's just such a strong memory... And I'm actually talking about it here, to say the least... So yeah, passing on a game is a strong feeling, probably could say a stronger one than shooting it... It's like surpassing that urge to do what we most would like to do, just understand it's something we "could" do, not something we must always do... I always say to myself, one day I gotta pass on a gobbler. Just to let go of that anxiety/stress/"buckfever" I get when I have one coming into range. I feel like if I would just let one passby, not shoot him, just let him live... It would just calm down this buckfever feeling one usually get...

I feel like everything I do has already been mentioned. I'll eat sandwiches and wraps. I vary the type of fruit through out the season. A blackstone opens up various options. With some oil and paper towels the clean up is super easy in my opinion.

I want feedback on how everyone makes their coffee when sleeping out of the truck. I've had to go with iced coffee up to this point. I tried a cheap coffee maker but it was too much energy pull for the outlet in my truck. I looked into a jet boil but didn't wanna pay the money at the time.

jet boil french press...it is fantastic!
...course everything is better when your on a turkey hunting trip
