Turkey Calls / Re: Alabama CacklerLast post by cgarner1 - Today at 07:42:45 AMQuote from: Mauser on February 20, 2026, 08:35:07 PMI called up my first bird with one when I was 12-13.That was 26-27 years ago. I've still got the original striker but my dad wanted the call back and lost it. I've been looking at them on eBay and can't make myself spend that much on one. Almost pulled the trigger on a graphite one a week ago. But I've never heard the the graphite one. My uncle who got me started in Turkey hunting only used Billy white calls. He had a hustlin hen box and a raspy glass. His hustlin hen is a fantastic box call. I have a graphite cackler but I think the wooden ones have a much better tone. However I'm not the the best at running them either #53
Turkey Hunting Tips ,Strategies & Methods / Re: What Does Killing A Turkey...Last post by Davyalabama - Today at 07:37:45 AMThose out just killing to post something on the internet: Facebook, youtube, etc. I know you read what these folks are saying, but "hear" them. Hear what it means to take a turkey fairly, to call them to the gun, to have a chess match with an animal. I realize the word "fairly" means something different to a lot of people, but just think about what is a fair match, not just, "I killed one!!!!!!!!!" Hear, even when they aren't saying it, the hours put in scouting, locating, sitting with mosquitos biting, "nothing happening" but it could in the next instant, the respect given to this bird.
Notice, not many that have posted, are all about just killing, turkey hunting is more than that, I promise you. You want to just kill something, there are plenty of coons, possums, coyotes, hogs, in some places deer, ducks, geese, etc. To me, turkeys are a challenge, it's me vs him in a no holds barred match, it's a fair match (no tents, no blinds, no decoys --- I have bought them, found they aren't worth the hassle nor the way I was brought up hunting (I need to sell them and get them out of the attic), no TSS 100 yard shells - I do shoot #4's for full penetration --- I want say it for all that have posted, but for me ----- young and stupid vs older, wiser and not trying to prove how great I am. Now, I can say this for only me: I've learned that every hunt is a blessing, every time I get to go scout, spend time out there, and if He blesses me with a bird, I know it came from Him, not my greatness. #54

2026 OLD GOBBLER TURKEY HUNTING TEAM CONTEST / Re: Herding up the GOATSLast post by Happy - Today at 06:42:54 AM He most certainly can. Just dont cry if he puts boo boo's on your feelings. Life looks like it might slow down a little shortly and I can harrass you fellows a little more. Let's face it. Thats my job. Be good looking and witty and keep you fellows occupied while my cohorts get work done in the background. Maybe I can convince cranky to help out with the dealing of insults. |
