General Forum / Re: best face mask to use with...

Last post by shaman - Today at 08:37:55 AM

Back when I got started in turkey hunting, there were no masks available.  You kind of had to improvise.  Most guys used face paint.  I wear glasses, and anything that I tried made my glasses fog.

The method I adopted back around '84 and have kept to this day is kind of a veil.  I take a camo boonie hat with the tabs going around.  I tie on a piece of camo mesh to either temple.  When I'm out walking, the mesh is back over my neck as a sunshade.  When I'm sitting, I keep it piled up on top.  When a gob starts coming in, I just have to tip my head down and the mesh falls over my face like a veil.  If I have the time, I pull on the veil so the front clears the brim and I have just enough clearance to see over the top  of the veil.

There are bonuses to this arrangement.  The veil hides me well enough that I can reach up and change mouth calls without being seen.  The veil is far enough away from my glasses that they don't fog.

FYI nonresident disabled Vets with a rating of 60% or better, can buy tags at the resident price. And you will get two tags..

Anything beyond neutral in any shooting sport will affect accuracy. The way you hold the gun, the way you cant the gun, the angle you pull the trigger, pressure on the butt and pressure on the fore end, relaxed or tight when the gun goes off, and certainly whether or not you flinch.
Follow through in shooting is just as important as a proper squeeze. People can relax on a lead sled  because they know they aren't going to get hammered, but tense up and flinch like crazy when shooting against their shoulder. Set your phone on slo-mo video and film yourself. I've seen some people completely lose their mind .25 seconds before the gun goes off, but they swear they made a good shot.

Some people notice no difference because they are disciplined shooters. If you are experiencing variation in different shooting positions, you need to work on your technique. It's as simple as that.

Turkey Calls / Call Sounds

Last post by Dhamilton1 - Today at 08:18:55 AM

With enough practice I'm "in my mind" decent enough to make a cluck, cut, hen yelp, Jake yelp, purr, and fighting purr on my box calls, pot calls and mouth calls. I can also kee kee and kee kee run on a mouth calls.

However, when do you all decide which call you are going to use to make which sound on when hunting?

Do you just "take the turkeys temperature" and see what he likes by rotating calls to make him think there's different hens around?

Last post by ddturkeyhunter1 - Today at 07:57:08 AM

Good topic made me think what do I eat. Not much, hate dishes so no cooking. And half my trips I do have my truck and pop up camper, that has a gas stove in it. I just don't choose to use it. So when I do want a hot meal I take a can of beef stew and cook it in its can on the stove. But most of the time hunting and camping out of my car it's quick food. I have venison summer sausage along  I cut into slices. Then that slice I cut into four pieces,along with a slice of cheese I do the same. And then I buy the Hi ho crackers in the small serving packs. One pack few slices and my meal is done. Along with oranges and trail mix during day. Eat sleep and hunt, I also live off the extra weight fat reserve I have built up all year. Turkey time is my diet also always dripping ten pounds or so.
