General Forum / Re: Looking Better In North Ne...Last post by Tom007 - Today at 10:52:53 AMQuote from: quavers59 on Today at 06:28:49 AMTurkey Populations are definitely getting better in North New Jersey. I saw plenty of Jakes last Spring in Sussex County. Your seeing small pockets, trust me the populations ARE NOT rebounding like you claim. This winter has put a serious hurting on the younger birds, frozen snow on the ground since early November coupled with the coldest temps in decades will definitely lower the numbers, no doubt. They have to take a serious look at permit allowcations if we want to see the "Old Days", (early mid 90's) numbers again. Stay tuned. #6
12 ga Mossberg pattern pictures / OpticsLast post by TrackeySauresRex - Today at 10:49:27 AMI thought I'd put this one here on the 835 tab.
TrackeY Jr. is possibly looking to revitalize my Ol' 835. It's the first camo turkey edition model with the corncob stock. I've went thru 3 red dots with this mule in my turkey hunting career before switching over to the 20. Are there any red/grn dots that can really withstand the recoil of this Ol' 835 that are made today? What rides on your's that been working for years? I'd like to dress her up before I officially hand it over to him. Thank you All B-Well Johnny #7

General Forum / Re: Travel meals?Last post by Treerooster - Today at 10:42:55 AMI do a lot of traveling/camping for my hunting. I cook sometimes but cooking and doing dishes when I am tired can get old.
I'll cook up a bunch of meals that are all together, like spaghetti or casseroles or even stew. Then I put a serving in a vacuum seal bag and freeze them unsealed. Once froze I seal up the bag and put it back in the freezer. When its time to eat I just boil the bag in water to heat it up on a portable stove. No dishes if you use a paper plate or heck, just eat out of the bag if you are really tired. I'll make up a few days of sandwiches for lunch also. I garden and can too so I have stew, chili, & soup to heat and eat too. Milk in a thermos and cereal can be a good breakfast. The frozen meals are good for 3 or 4 days in the cooler along with the sandwiches. If I am out longer I switch to the canned meals. #9
LEARNING TO TURKEY HUNT / Re: Calling to a roosted gobbl...Last post by TooTallOutdoorss - Today at 10:30:43 AMQuote from: TooTallOutdoorss on March 06, 2026, 12:01:47 PMIf he doesnt have a direct line of sight to me Ill give a few clucks or soft yelps to get his attention and maybe flip him around on the limb to face me and once he responds to my call Ill usually put the call down until I know hes on the floor. Once youve made that connection with that bird thats all you need. Let his curiosity get the best of him. Play that cat and mouse game with him especially if its a lone bird. Well I am happy to report I was successful within the first 20 mins of legal shooting light down in South Florida on public ground! Roosted two birds that were in two separate trees 40 yds from each other over looking a big field with a dried up slough. Got there well in the dark and setup on the other side of the slough 100 yds away. Watched them both wake up and fly down a long with a hen we did not see the afternoon before when roosting em. The birds were not in a very talkative mood this morning and gobbled maybe three times each on the limb. Being on public I was happy because we knew it would be a matter of time until someone heard em and tried making a move on them. I soft yelped and clucked at em twice on the limb. First one they didnt respond to and second they responded. Once I got that interaction I put the call down and waited. When both flew down they went in the last direction we expected them to go (as turkey hunting always goes). I yelped at em once or twice with no response. And then from the far left here comes ol white head coming right at us. laid eyes on the jake decoy next to the hen and it was all over. Strutted the entire way in spitting and drumming and the rest was history! Once on the road we saw about four other trucks parked at the gate (we were the first and only ones there in the morning.) and we were relieved that our hunt was not ruined and are certain if they had gobbled more on the limp if I called at em more it would've been a totally different outcome. |
