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

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 

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?

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

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.

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

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.

Or calf high socks that are now loose ankle socks?

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
