The 7 letter game is played much differently than the 6 letter word game. Here's the catch.... you have to come up with words with 7 letters. :TooFunny: I'll select a topic and see how far the thread goes and actually stays within the topic subject? Since we're here, we'll discuss killing an extremely smart, call shy, grizzled old Tom.
Here we go.....
Me and my friend Cletus have been hunting this bird for 17 years. We have named this bird "Stinky". He will not come to any call or decoy set up. I think this gobbler is the king of all birds. Any suggestions with killing this ghost?
I would try a raspier call. Sometime they are lookin' for that boss hen.
We've tried everything. We checked into the raspier calls and bought a few that had the highest ratings and still could not get him? He's a slick bird for sure!
If he is not into the old boss hens maybe he likes em young and sweet. I would try the sexiest young sounding call I have. Then I would get ready to throw a hand full of lead at him.
If he is that wily, I would be tempted to use some fighting purrs to get him to commit to the commotion.
We have dabbled a little with the fighting purrs... he has nothing to do with it. Still looking for help!
Send that sneaky old so and to Detroit. We will pop a cap on his Arse.
Me and ol'e Cletus need to do something... this sucker is testing our nerves.... for 17 years!!!
I would find me a decoy that looked like the Goddess of the turkey woods and see if she would bring Stinky into range.
That could be the problem? The hen decoy we keep using looks like Frank Sinatra....
I will use a DSD hen , that will turn any Gobbler into a adulter .
You put out a DSD hen decoy, ol' Stinky will be ramming her at first sight.
I don't know if I'm ready for my expensive DSD decoy to get rammed at first sight? That was a great gesture though. We're all extremely smart turkey hunters here... why can't we come up with an innovative way to help me kill ol'e Stinky? I'm telling ya, this bird is like the Einstein of the woods. We need to think outside the box!
It sounds to me like this bird is one of those living legends that may just die of old age.
If he is that hard to get close to, how about getting a hen decoy with a big bruiser tom saddled on her back. This may make Stinky think that he is missing out on the party..
I refuse to let Stinky die of old age. His butt is mine.......eventually! Not a bad idea about a saddle although I'm not sure about the density of DSD decoys?
If you guys are that set on infecting him with lead poison the saddled decoy could be just the enticer you need
It remains to be seen if a saddled hen would work, but I think it is worth a try..
That ol gobbler sounds like a Sexual. pervert on a saddle. :smiley-char092: :z-guntootsmiley: :smiley-char092:
I took your advice. I went back to the spot to give the saddled hen decoy a try. As I was setting her up, there was old Stinky in the edge of woods. He just shook his head and laughed at me. Three putts and he was gone again! Man, we gotta think outside the box on this guy!!!
Maybe you can lure him in with some corn flavored Doritos .
I'd be too selfish and eat the chips myself..... besides, baiting is illegal?
If i was a betting man then i think there has been a bunch of HUNTERS hunting him this year.
At first it was more like a hobby trying to kill this bird. Then it became more like a job. Now it is more like science dealing with this turd of a turkey!
Sounds like that ol Tom is one smart. Egghead
I reckon he is. I wonder what would happen if I dangled a decoy from a tree limb for better movement?
I think I figured out a way to destroy this wily old bird. I'm gonna have a human sized costume made that looks like a sweet hen.
you[/b better hope i dont see you walking by my setup, I may be obligated to blast ya

I dont see a 7 letter thats starts with a (y) here.
Forget the decoy just set up and do some soft "YELPING"!!!
I doubt he yearned to be a Gobbler. Maybe a Hen though.
In order to deliver a load of #7's into Stinky's head, you need to get him close. He is a wily critter. I suggest a hen decoy with her rump in the air.. That outta do the trick..
maybe hes gay? have you tried using a radiant looking jake?
i make the most awesome sound i think i've ever heard. Killed something to. :z-guntootsmiley:
I am EAGERLY awaiting opening day.
I'm not getting any YOUNGER waiting for opening day as well.
well then go ROUGHEN up a game warden and get them to start early
There is NOTHING that would roughen them up
While waiting on opening morning I could greatly improve on my calling skill.
We all need to make sure wh know how to use our yelpers.
Started using mine when I was 3.
God Bless,

Do you yelp in the Daytime ?
No, only in the evening.
Evening yelping may cause gaggles of geese to fly overhead.
Serious?
Put it to the test. Use different randomly picked times as SAMPLES and record when (if at all) you see any gaggles of geese.
Last time I shot at a gaggle of geese, my wife smacked me!
The only time my wife smacks me, is when I have drinked to much shine.
Hope you haven't DAMAGED your liver drinking shine

I had a Uncle that would soak it up like SAPWOOD.
Only thing is that he had a hard time getting DRESSED after.
I don't see how anybody could take DELIGHT in that.

I have heard the best time to catch fish is when the dogwood blooms.
I caught a carp while crappie fishing last year it DRAGGED me all over the place.

Close but your word needed to start with D
I loved his movie The Cowboys ,where he had all the kids driving the herd .
I didn't like that one as much to much language. I would've liked to have seen him in a space movie with zero GRAVITY.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
You are probably a lot younger than me ,but my generation loved him as a cowboy.
Not to change the subject, but have you seen the thread about eating RACCOON?
NOBODY'S going to get me to eat that until I no longer have a bank account.
In 17 years you had to do something right Maybe your neighbor is playing a trick on you, mayber he is old stinky :newmascot:
