Turkey hunting forum for turkey hunting tips

It has been fun except when covid was whupping up on me. I sincerely look forward to 2023 so I can trash talk all you good people once again.

Why wait to 2023?    It's 2022 and I've not slowed down on the trash talking.   Need to keep your skills fine tuned.

You are right. Besides all the other teams are so ugly they have to sneak up on a mirror.

Enjoy the off-season gents!!

There is no off season for The GOATS,
just discipline and dedication

every team member is trained to take his gun apart and put it back together one handed while holding a Lil Debbie oatmeal cookie in the other hand in the dark and while it's raining with Elton John and Captain and Tenniel music blaring on high volume as a distraction.

most of our Deep South members can do the above^^^ while weaving palm fronds into serviceable double bull blinds that Primos would patent if they could figure out how.

forgot your calls that morning?, not a problem for a Goat, every leaf in the woods has been disected, studied and experimented with to find only the best that are worth taping and rubber banding  onto a blown out diaphragm or tube call.

every size straw from every fast food, piggley-wiggley and 7-eleven store has had it's inner and outer dimensions measured, cut to size and electrical tape taped together to know which ones have the best sound and ease of draw.

Don't get me started on our abilities to create sandals and other footwear out of the inner bark from basswood trees. Off season?, there is not enough time for an off season.

I could go on but whats the point, being a GOAT isn't for everyone

Crow has been grazing the wrong field, lol. You should be smoking that not eating it.

I won't mention names (Z-1)meow, but word on the street is that a certain member (Z-1)meow, on the Boring 20's (Z-1)meow, uses a mix tape of The Captain and Tennile's greatest hits as a physc up aid on his way to the turkey woods

You need to step it up and get you some Willy and Waylon,
Who ever you might be (Z-1)meow

Sorry you don't like your own music bubba. I am psyching up with 'The Misfits", Seether and Black Sabbath this morning, lol.

Ok' Ozzy huh. One of the kings of confused and disoriented. That explains a lot.

I grew up in the 70's and 80's, enough said.  :funnyturkey: :OGturkeyhead:

I was a kid in the 60's and 70's.   Still waiting on that growing up part to kick in.

I guess I am a young pup then. I wasn't around till 81.

So now the truth coms out!!  Happy does not meet the made up requirements of being 65 years old to be on the "Grumpys" (Amber Heard). So someone do the math real quick and remove Happys points from the final score of the Gonads. We "The Scattered Flock" will gladly taken in Happy and his points. I think there should be a investigation into the entire "Grumpy" team to see all the other illegal, false and pretentious postings...     

Happy is ok, he isn't really a goat, more of a kid, Let them enjoy their fame, they will burn out fast.  :funnyturkey:

Jiffypop is still sore because he didn't meet our minimum height requirement,
which is you have to be at least as tall as a youth 870 with a 24" barrel

Zelmo1 couldn't pass out hearing test, too many years listening to that noise he call music

every peleiated woodpecker in his county pecking on a tree is in danger of being mistaken for a gobbler and chased by him on his E-bike

Get you some Dolly and EmmyLou, it will take some of the sting out of your rejection notice

Nice play on words Zelmo1! See you are learning some new tricks! And being a GOATS is just a much a state of mind as it is a skill set. Age really has nothing to do with it. I mean 90% are eliminated from contention for GOATS status on looks alone, then by the time you factor in the mental fortitude, ability to confuse, aggitate and disorient the competition, have a sense of humor and be so proficient  at this turkey killing to where GOATS are being studied as a primary cause for shortening the life span of adult gobblers. Well, it really cuts down on the candidate list.

Old Zelda1 may have squeaked by our height requirement,
but he is still a sight to see on his E-bike with those big blocks of wood duct taped to the pedals

looks like that kid in "Oh Brother where art thou" zipping along a tote road in search of a gobbling woodpecker

I am trying to comprehend not being born till 1981.
I had already been caught drag racing by then. I had already been in 41 states.
I remember setting in class and writing the date on my school work and the first 3 digits were 196_
Charles Manson lived right up the road from us. You could still buy a new car for under 3K.
In a gas war in Chatsworth Ca gas was 26.9 a gallon. I remember Coke machines taking a nickel and a penny. I remember my dad buying a new 1968 GMC carryall. Turkeys hadn't been invented yet.

Well, there were troups in a place called Korea when I was born and we never had indoor plumbing until I was almost in jr High. Saw my first gobbler mid 60s.

I remember our house was so small, if everyone was home and you were reading a book you had to go out on the front porch to turn the page

Get it out of your systems fellows. I remember 3 wheelers and coal mines. Cheapest gas when I was driving was .96 cents a gallon. My first turkey calls were a Lohman turkey tracer pot call and a quaker boy boss hen. Ray Eye was the man in turkey hunting I only knew one turkey hunter. Started out hunting by myself with a Savage.22/.410 over and under at the age of 8. Was pretty hard on the squirrels with that thing. Graduated to a new Englander 20 gauge later on and knew nothing about chokes and patterns. Was pretty much self taught about hunting and many things in life. Figured out learning from other people's mistakes was way less painful than learning from your own.
