Eastern Assassin Ithaca 10, 450 confirmed kills,,, turkey thugs whoooo, I decided to add to this conversation, my qualifications 38 years of turkey hunting spring and fall,,,,first, my ratio of turkeys killed to, turkeys called to, i mean birds i worked, You would think I should have given up turkey hunting, I looked at my records, and as close as i can document, the Mr, Gobbler has won 15 times to 1, , if you doubt my record keeping then you havent turkey hunted that long.. I say and many others is to go out turkey hunting one or two times on your first hunts and kill a gobbler, this is the great , however, you will be awakened real fast by the number of times after that, when you did not kill another or the rest of the season., I am writting a book, something I thought i would never do; it is not a how too book, but how i accomplished all my kills, especially finding turkeys, roosting turkeys which is an art in itself, guns, shot, paterning, calls, persistance, determination,, woodsmenship is right up there at the top, shooting at the correct time, gun up, looking down the bead.
