Title: When you have to “go”
Post by: 17hornethunter on January 28, 2018, 03:18:51 PM
I wanted to share something that I found recently that I think you guys may like. They are called wysi wipes. They are basically dried compressed towelettes that take up hardly any room at all. When you are done doing your business, You just wet the puck and it fluffs up into a wet wash cloth. I got the bigger ones, and one puck will take care of one "go". Can use them for other things too like removing face paint , blowing nose, whatever .

Agreed!  You only have to defeat the turkeys eyes and ears not it's nostrils.  If you can stand it then well...........!   :TooFunny:  By the way, I normally carry some paper in my vest just in case.

Make sure you don't use poison Ivey or poised oak.

Bottomland, you seem to have a hard time with the word "puck". I'll try to explain it to you. It's basically the shape of a chew can or hockey puck, but much smaller. I find them to be convenient.

Question for you.

What is poison Ivey? Or poised oak? I could have sworn it was poison ivy and poison oak. But, what do I know ? :happy0064:

I keep some baby wipes and some TP in a baggie as well.

One hunt we were running and gunning and while waiting for the first gobble. Nature called. Shortly after I was done, my buddy had to go too. He finishes up and we're now lighter and ready.

We hear our first gobbles and head off in that direction. No joke, not long after we later heard roosted birds right about where we did our business.

The organized turkey hunter will manage his diet and awake early enough each morning to relieve himself before the hunts begins, eliminating the need to be afield when the moment arises.
Title: Re: When you have to “go”
Post by: FullChoke on January 29, 2018, 09:34:23 AM
I have had several start gobbling while I was dropping some wolf bait. Just like the silent dog whistle from several years ago, I believe that gobblers can hear the low frequency emanations of the active lower intestine. They shock gobble over the mere notion that someone is defiling the sanctity of their home.

I'm far from organized, but this is pretty much my routine.   In 50 plus years of turkey hunting I can't ever remember having to go.  And most of those years it's been from sunup to either a dead bird or sunset, whichever came first.  Now one of my buddy's who is pure death on turkeys, that's the first thing he does when he gets out of the truck in the mornings.  I've ask him just about every time why don't you just go at home before we leave.   He said it don't work like that.

Early morning hike almost always results in a "go" situation!
Wipes are usually in my pack.
The times I don't have any I find a nice round stick and clean it out using several patches like I clean my guns. I have tried a Boresnake, but couldn't get it through the entire way!

True.

But even our brilliant forefathers realized that the Constitution occasionally needed an amendment.  I always hit the woods in as ship (yes........ ship) shape as I can.  But dude................if and when a feller's lower GI tract decides it is gonna play an encore, it's something that oft can NOT be stopped.  Many times I have recited a particular portion of Cheech & Chong's "Up In Smoke" while doing the fast penguin walk in search of a grippin' tree...........

I carry a nice, tidy little flat pack of multi-surface wipes at all times.

:TooFunny:

A grippin' tree.....................

A tree.  Usually about 3-4 inches in diameter at the grippin' point.  Ideally located on somewhat of a grade.

Directions for use:  Find a suitable grippin' tree as generally described above.  (Please note that under extreme lower GI distress, the parameters for "suitable" can and probably will be lowered considerably and probably in a frantic rush)  Situate yourself on the downslope side of the grippin' tree, facing the tree.  Drop trow.  In the case of bib overalls, insure you have pulled the suspenders well forward between your feet.  Probably best to remove any coat, as well.  Assume the position while simultaneously engaging the grippin' tree firmly with both hands.  Grip it and rip it.  A properly chosen grippin' tree will insure sufficient trajectory of jettisoned materials so as to not have any of the mentioned materials land on your britches or boot heels.  But rather well downhill of your squat position.   

Simple.

I wanted to share something that I found recently that I think you guys may like. They are called wysi wipes. They are basically dried compressed towelettes that take up hardly any room at all. When you are done doing your business, You just wet the puck and it fluffs up into a wet wash cloth. I got the bigger ones, and one puck will take care of one "go". Can use them for other things too like removing face paint , blowing nose, whatever .
Just make sure if you use them as duel purpose wipes, that you use them to wipe your face and nose before using them as traditional wipes and not "doing your business."
