Title: Let's play a new game
Post by: Spitten and drummen on April 27, 2016, 09:22:26 PM
Just thought why not start a new game. Each person replies with a sentence following the sentence before hand to compile a fun hunting story.We will all write a hunting story together. It may not go over well but I thought we could see how long we can make the story last. I will start it in the next post. Everybody join in and let's have some fun.

Sure enough, there is one old bird hammering on the opposite side of the road. Still on the roost...

So, I gather up my gear and venture onto the public ground to my "guaranteed secret, nobody else will be there spot" - blowing air into my Avian hen decoy as I go.

It seemed with every air of flatulence I echoed off the ridge, this bird answered with a litany of gobbles. Had I found a new undiscovered turkey call?

I was embarrassed and apologized - explaining it was not an intentional invasion on their set up, and I hoped they wouldn't question my ethics as I quickly gathered myself and continued out the ridge.

the gobblers hear the ruckus and are firing off un controllably , they must think that the hens are really throwing down.

Sounds like all of them are rolling down the opposite side of the ridge. Why am i on the wrong side again. This is a loosing fight.

I rush over there only to find out that they'd moved on and are no longer gobbling at all.

As i'm coming to my feet from that big ruckus and feeling like i was in a UFC fight. I grab my stuff and was headed back across the field and notice i was wearing a funny turkey vest with all these flextone game calls. Why does this vest say Freak Nasty ?

I reach into my newly acquired freak nasty vest and pull out some wire cutters (as much as Waddy trespasses i knew he had some) and cut the fence to make it easier to step across.

That first 200 yards past the property line is the grey area. Into the grey area I go...

It's safe to say I wasn't sure where the line was, even if you crossed or cut the fence.

As I turn to retrace my steps back to the public ground, a herd of snorting bulls have responded to the buritto challenge I've been flatulating, have moved between me and the fence, and are increasing their pace as they come toward me!

Post by: Greg Massey on April 29, 2016, 10:01:21 AM
Now crap, i'm going to have to swim the lake to get away from all these bulls. I sure hope my new freaky nasty turkey vest is waterproof. With my gun on my back and loaded with Federal HW 7 I new i was still in the hunt for that gobbler. Listen can you hear him gobbling which direction did he gobble ?
Title: Re: Let's play a new game
Post by: taylorjones20 on April 29, 2016, 10:17:04 AM
Yep, he's still on the same ridge that he's been on since he flew down this morning.  If I could only see him I would fan him in!

I quickly formulate a plan and dive into the lake. Using the freak nasty vest as my raft. And the funky chicken as my ore. "Aren't these products the best" I think to myself.

Title: Re: Let's play a new game
Post by: Spitten and drummen on April 29, 2016, 11:36:27 AM
i manage to throw the cotton mouth about 50 yards without getting bit , then I hear a load shout coming from a foot bridge 30 yards away " there he is"!!. its the same 2 guys. turned out if I would have walked 50 yards west , I would have saw the bridge , I swam 200yards and could have stayed dry and walked 100 and end up at the same place.

Little did they know i was lying about giving up my new special freak nasty turkey vest. See us hunter don't always tell the truth. No way i was giving up my vest, i've still not look in all the pockets. As i was getting ready to use the funny chicken like a hickory stick in the Walking Tall movie here comes that herd of bulls running across the bridge. Its was time for plan B .. see all of us turkey hunters have more than one plan of action.

Funky chicken don't care...

He just stands there on his stake in the sun all day while freak  nasty long beards like yourselves  come up and try to stab him with 6 inch daggers.

Turning to face the thundering herd of bulls I was determined to show that obnoxious gobbler that he was facing a man among men. Not any part time novelty hunter. A man who would face anything for the chance to put some pellets in his wrinkled noggin.

OK. Game on! With bill passed out and troy landry claiming he weighs 56lbs and with what appears to be locust thorns hanging off his legs. I notice he ''the bird'' is getting hoarse from the 13 hours of continuous gobbling. While waiting for him to close the distance I find turkey throat spray in the freak vest! Toss it out by the crippled jake or whatever that thing is and flick the safety off! Its about to get real, real quick.

Scanning the terrain with my eyes and not moving a muscle I know he is close. I am ready. I have my hecs suit on, the latest and greatest supreme turkey Wacker 2000 choke tube and a magazine full of 3 Oz loads of #16 tssxxs  shot. Puts 693 in the ten at 87 yards with enough knockdown power for a brontosaurous. Just let that obnoxious turkey flap one waddle in my direction. I am about to blow his snood  clean off. Do you feel lucky Mr turkey? Do ya?

Little did she know i'm a turkey killing machine i have the confidences to kill every turkey i see and hear. To get a great turkey you have to pass on the jakes. But little did she know i can beat the odds with being creative and aggressive with making turkey noises. I'm one of the most skilled woodman she has ever seen. I have the tools to get the job done today with my new freak nasty turkey vest and my 20 gauge 870 youth model with a 42 in barrel and 4 in. shells i know with these tools i'm a killing machine no turkey can rest tom or jake. Was that a gobble just them back across the field ?

I cut across the wide open field knowing my hec suite will keep me invisible.  By the time I get to the other side the bird has quit gobbling naturally.  It's ok , I pulled out my trusty mad calls dog whistle. I blow so hard that it feels like my one good eye is going to pop out.

This time i have a secret weapon with me a piece of plastic with a bottom of a can on this slate call. I bought this call off ebay because a friend of mine said it was the best slate call ever made. it's called Lohman Thunderdome slate call. i paid just over 200 dollars for this one of a kind call. As i made that first turkey sound on this secret weapon, i heard a cow across the field moo and a squirrel chatter in the oak tree above my head. Man this call is a secret weapon, i've got everyone talking. Was that a gobble again or a car horn ?

Get there only to find 7 vehicles parked in a small lot only large enough to hold 4. Figured what the heck and jumped out anyway. Probably should've waited for the truck to come to a complete stop but I'll worry about that later. I could see the old gobbler strutting on the distant ridge already from the road.

I put my hands on my head and calmly explained what happened.  It was a honest mistake but he was angry , ranting on and on about me having to pay for the tree. Then automatic weapon fire came from up the road , he told me to stay put and he left with haste to go check it out. After his truck got out of sight , I figured I better call it a day. I sped home , thinking where I would start day 3.

I have another secret weapon in my bag of tricks a squealing hen. I know this will get that big gobbler all fire up in the morning he will think it's breeding season for sure.

It's a 100 acres between walmart and a high school bordered by the interstate.  Says he has been hearing 18 different birds. I say ok and he is set to pick me up at 4am for the 20min. Ride downtown.

After talking to Bubba, i'm think what gun any i going to use. I have this special made Yildiz 410 with night sights. You know hunting that close to Walmart we could stop at Lowe's and grab a few 2 x 4"s and i have that old army camo netting we could build a blind at the end of the field before daylight. You know i hope Bubba really did hear a bunch of turkeys and it wasn't someone in sporting good trying to find someone to check them out with a primos box call and a red wolf gobble tube.

I was all excited, Bubba said the evening before he saw several big black birds at the end of the field in a big hickory tree. As it was getting light i started looking thru my new WalMart spotting scope. I just could make the birds out, you guess it they started leaving the tree and circling over head it was a dam buzzard roost. I started smelling something and i look at Bubba he said WHAT i said when was the last time you took a bath. He said it's turkey season not time for a bath.

Just then I heard a faint shrill gobble. We grab our gear and Wade through the Briar patch. He is gobbling at every breath. We get to the back of the property and out of sight over a small Ridge the shrill gobbling continues. Me and bubba are covered in briars.i whisper let's low crawl up to the little rise and ambush the shrill voice Gobbler. We crawl ever so slow and blood from the scratches mixed with sweat is really burning. We eventually get to where we can peep over the ridge and you have to be kidding me. We are at the back of section 8 housing and there is a kid banging on a piece of tin with a ball bat. Dang sure sounds like a high pitched gobble.
Title: Re: Let's play a new game
Post by: 101st501 on May 02, 2016, 09:58:04 AM
So we borrowed the kids bat and piece of metal and ask him if he has seen any turkeys.  We figured we could use the bat and metal as a new trick to throw at them birds.

Turns out the kid was beating on a trashcan lid to scare away the rats, and after "borrowing" it, Bubba scuffs that trashcan lid across the pavement and "conditions" the end of the ball bat in the sand; and when he drug the tip of that bat across the scuffed up lid...

I quickly ran next door to Walmart and picked up several different wooden bats to use as different strikers. I even picked up a aluminum bat for a rainy day striker. Bubba sat on the ground Indian style and laid the lid across the top of his knees and formed a awsome sound chamber. I picked up a dymond wood bat and commenced to making j hooks on the lid. Had a nice roll over with back end rasp you wouldn't believe.

Bubba and me were enjoying cold ones on the tailgate of his super duty S10 with overdrive if you kick it out of gear and just thinking how the day had been full of adventure. This old framer with a big beer belly pulled up and said boys you had and luck turkey hunting? We told the farmer how we had seen big black birds on a roost this morning and about the housing project and our trash can call. The old farmer said you need to come hunt on my 1000 ac. farm. We have one big turkey name John Deere you can hunt in the morning, he has a super charge of a gobble so after directions and a old map of the place we headed out for a night of rest and another morning running and gunning on John Deere.

I think it's a gobble! I pulled out my trade can lid and used the aluminum ball bat all weather striker and made a few sweet yelps followed with a ear busting cutting. The cutting actually sounded like a kid banging on a trash can lid, but there it was , I'm certain , a gobble.

Running along the field edge i see a deep gully and a large creek. I'm thinking how can I use this trash can lid and the bat for sliding down the gully and floating across the creek. He's been gobbling for 15 min. he's one hot bird. I've got to kill this one i still have 3 tags left.

I was looking for my binoculars, cause I think I see Waddell, and T bone sneaking around the tree line under a cow costume, those sneaky Devils! Thinking how I can beat them to the gobbler, I devised a high tech plan, I hurled my ball bat striker in there direction, and it knocked poor old T bone out cold! Now I Gota say that was a dirty trick, but lucky me its one on one against this old war bird! And I just had another ideal, I still got Waddells phone, and I'll call his wife and tell her I seen him, and some blonde together! Boy when he gets home, the feathers are Gona fly!

crouching in the bushes , I see waddle answer his phone. he has a surprised look on his face and is waving his hand around. he is talking to his wife , I am sure and all the while trying to administer first aid to t bone. I slip on by un noticed and close the distance. then I hear what all turkey hunters dread. up ahead a IED explodes and the gobbler is gobbling no more.

I told them I saw everything . this cliven bundy character threw something and hit t bone square in the head , and I heard him dial information and get wadell's wifes phone number , and explained that is probably how everything went down. they bought it and stormed off madder than a wet hen to find mr. bundy and I hustled to my truck and was out of there.

as I regained my feet and was wiping my face I heard someone yell "boo yah!!'. I knew immediately who this clown was.

Bracket then comes over and gives me crap about my shotgun and how he can shoot just as far with a bow.

After inventing bull patty camo makup, i need to contact the guys at flextone game calls or Billy Bob teeth, he made millions from fake plastic teeth. I need a patent fast before Waddell see's my discovery. After going back to the truck, i have another secret weapon a potato gun cannon with truglo sights. It's the ultimate turkey gun. Bubba said the explosion from this would rock a turkey's chest into gobbling just like a big thunder storm. Man i need a game cart.
