Turkey hunting forum for turkey hunting tips

My camo most days doesn't match. No wonder I am not taken seriously as a Turkey hunter.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200218/780a961ecaa3111d8215ce73edfa40b0.jpg)

Always liked mix and match

You should be ok with that, unless you post hero shots on that Facebook thing I've heard about.   I hear they have a pretty strict dress code. 

That's the Swedish army camo look.. Happy you know that camo had nothing to do with killing that turkey, it was your calling, woodsmanship and patience's ...and that old 12 gauge you have been using for years..

Actually I think the turkey probably got into some fermented berry seeds and it was closing time at the bar. That's probably what did him in. And if memory serves me right it was about a 20 yard shot so I think concussion from the old 12 alone did the trick.

Never tangled with facebook. Dont plan on it either. From my limited knowledge it's a lot of work trying to be awesome enough to compete and I ain't gonna try.

You'll never kill a turkey wearing that garb. Get with it man!!!  :angel9:

Seriously man? If you don't have matching bottomland camo you're gonna run off gobblers. They'll see you from a hundred yards, and realize that's a turkey hunter with mismatched camo. You think the Indians hunted wearing mismatched animal hides? They knew if they mixed a rabbit and a deer they would go hungry. And you better switch to matching mossy oak obsession in the late season or you might as well stay home and read a NWTF magazine. Didn't anybody teach you how to kill turkeys?

No wonder all you kill is 2 year olds  :goofball:

Dude, looking way too serious.

Been that way since I was a kid. Before it was cool.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200218/6d67d190e723de4c01e808ecce025383.jpg)

You forget my penchant for broken spurred gobblers as well.

But you have facepaint. Doesn't get any more serious than that.

Happy, is that decoy that you hold up in front of you and walk around the woods with?

if it is you might stretch his fan out wider and maybe put some feathers on your pants legs to blend in better

The fish picture face expression is more understandable,

if I was in a picture with a little girl and she caught a fish and I didn't have one this is what I would look like

especially if I somehow had accidentally wet the inside of one of my pant legs  :TooFunny:

That is a prototype reaping decoy. That was being tested in WV and I still haven't designed a tail fan that can stop a 22-250 bullet. I am running out of test volunteers rapidly as well.

I went back and looked at your gobbler picture again,

and there might be some kind of pattern going on between your facial expressions and the right pant leg looking darker and wet in both pictures.   :happy0167:   :TooFunny:

Hey, I get excited. It's not every day I get to stand beside someone else's turkey, or fish for that matter.

 ;D :TooFunny:

Before my accident my camo never matched. Now I wear camo pants that are baggy and comfortable and a long sleeve black shirt, gloves and facemask in the blind.

Happy I'm shocked that you're able to kill anything in that outfit. That looks nothing like the "professional" hunters that I see in all the advertisements!!

I kill fashion pretty regularly during hunting season.

The only way to be taken seriously is to be photographed with dead turkeys.

that's actually grounds for me to not take someone serious

I've always heard that a little paint covers a multitude of sins.
So what you hiding behind that face paint Happy?!? :popcorn:

I see your tactic...

Pull into the parking lot (of a public area), wearing non-matching camo (and probably two hats at the same time) with scary-azz face-paint, and start taking to your self...  "NO!  I won't do it...  Stop telling me to do that!  I don't even know them!!!"

Then you smile at the other parties in the lot as you carefully unload your gear (mumbling to yourself)...  And Wa-Lah...  You have a public spot to yourself...

I don't see a gun, did you run him down and stomp him or shoot him ??? lol

Yeah I'm starting to think you target the brittle spurred birds.
