Alright, seasons are over. whats your top 5 things your hoping to add before next season ok maybe ten we all know theres a million little things when it comes to turkey hunting and it feels like were never done finding new things we dont need to take into the woods to help us kill a couple of big black birds every spring
1. I want to try a sumtoy choke can never have tooo many pellets in the a dead bird
2. add some more hooks mouth calls, tried a few this year and they were all I used in the field, but lost my exicutioner on the last week of the season while taking pictures with my second bird..
3. would like a jake decoy but not a fan of any on the market except DSD and not sure im willing to sell out that much for a decoy I would only use every now and then.
4. try some custom pot calls.. i tried my first custom mouth calls this season and was blown away at the difference so its time to try so custom pots
5. Still looking for the perfect pair of turkey pants.. either they are too warm for the late season not durable enough, dont breath well or pick up burrs or dont have enough functional pockets. DID find the perfect shirt an ol' tom run and gun is straight Awesome!
6. is a gun for my wife so I can carry as well when i take her out
1. enough with h13 i want some nitros
2. may sell the dsd strutter and get the dsd jake
Only two things on my list.
The perfect mouth call.
The perfect choke/load combo.
See? I'm easy to please. :TooFunny:
Just to have one spot to go and be alone with some birds. Now that will probablly never happen lol.
1. Pick up an additional deer, turkey and waterforlw lease in the 400-600 acre size within 20 minutes of my house.
2. Secure additional turkey leases in Georgia and New York.
3. Keep working a lot of overtime to bring myself closer to purchasing 200 acres in Iowa within the next 3 years.
4. Re-polish the barrels on both of my turkey guns.
5. Get some new pot calls from Wendel and another box call or two from my buddy Robert Clifft.

J,
You going to call me about all your henless 2 year olds? :TooFunny:
1. To have a place to hunt
2. To get to kill my first turkey
1. New choke for sbe 2 ... sumtoy, rhino, rob roberts .. looking for better numbers
2. DSD hen decoys
3.new choke for 10 ga. bps
4. maybe nitros ...not sure
5.another place to turkey hunt
6. MORE CALLS.. ;D
I'm wanting to add a 20 gauge killer to the lineup, stretch some of my own mouth calls and add a few new pot calls (I'm wanting something copper). I'm sure I can come up with something else by March. . . . :you_rock:
1. New box call. Albert Paul or SS Custom.
2. DSD alert hen decoy.
3. DSD jake decoy.
I've been saying it for the last couple years, but I think I'll have to finally break down and buy a new vest or a pack of some sort. I kept her going with a little needle and thread the last couple years, but I think I've about done it in. The poor thing has earned its retirement, but it will be like finally giving up on an old dog you've hunted with for year.
I can't think of anything else that I want, but I suppose that could change. I can't concentrate on my needs for next turkey season because of the list of things I want for the upcoming archery elk season. Most of which won't be purchased.
1. Find more farms to hunt
2. 2 more calls
3. Vest (I have never had one)
4. A few more Hooks mouth calls
5. a 10ga or 20ga set up for turkey hunting (if I have extra money so I am not holding my breath on it)
Bionic knees. :-\
Dial in the new NWTF BPS in MOBUI w/Burris FF II or open sights
Buy either the feeder DSD hen or the breeder DSD hen
Try for longbeard #100 - might happen in 2012 :)
Really want to try for my Osceola, and I'm working in Orlando the week before opening weekend, but I'm not sure the $$$ is available :(
Shoot a full tom with my bow - the jake and bow thing was exciting!

Looking forward to getting some TSS in the mail so I can work on making a load up for my 20.

Still like to sneak away from the private property's every
few years to snag a public land Osceola

My wish list has been filled for a long time now.

Like you I want that Osceola and I'm selling Orlando to the wife. We'll see. I think I would be at the century mark if I hadn't done so much bowhunting the past decade. I hope you kill that long beard with your bow, it will be worth it.
I'd like to pick up a Mossberg SSI in 12ga, and an old Savage 220a in 20ga to play with and see what kind of turkey killers I can make of them!
I'd like to pick up a little more turkey knowledge.
And a new diaphram.

You need to hang with Roy, and he'll teach you everything you need to know.
Living my life in a way that is pleasing to the Lord, and showing my wife and children how much I love them everyday.

1. Replace my Hooks call that I lost after getting my bird (Didn't I hear that one already?)
2. A custom box call to add to the collection (Fathers Day is coming up)
3. A new pair of camo pants that repels water, not too heavy and not too light
4. Sounds like one of thos Ol Tom shirts would be nice
5. To keep those yahoos that brag about taking 80 yard hen shots away from me and 'my' spots.
