Name your turkeys?
March 14, 2012, 01:37:19 PM
Well as the 2012 season starts up I have an old friend from last year that I have some unfinished business with. A bird that I didn't kill last year after numerous encounters. As smart and wily as they come and with a suspicious disposition.
I've named him "ol' tubby" because one day he was gobbling on a limb and flew out to the end of the limb almost snapped it off because he was so fat and the limb not so big. His big butt was bobbing up and down on the end of that oak tree limb.
Hoping to have an encounter with "ol tubby".
Any other birds yall have named in the past or present?

That's the one that gets away the last weekend of every season.

Hunting "Lucky, too" in the morning. His spurs are big, he's mean and he's "Lucky, too".

Ive only named one bird that I had missed and I think that would be the only reason I would name one unless he has some interesting feature like others have seen with ol tubby and lightbulb. (I got Ted a week later fyi
)

"Lone Ranger". He gave me the slip several times last year. I scouted him last week. He's still home.

I've named alot of Turkeys, most I can't say on the
site.Like
Red said we named one light bulb for his 100 watt head. I named one Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top cause he had a beard that almost touched the ground.
When I'm not in the woods, I'm honkin on a Blues Harp

I name most of the turkeys preseason that i scout. last year named one wimpy because he ran away from all other gobblers he encountered, he kinda walked funny when near them, almost sideways. turns out he was completely blind in one eye. my buddy killed him and his eye was yellow, like a kernel of corn. named another big boy that has given us the slip the past 2 seasons, The General. then there is Lucky, Whispy,Splitfan, Boomer and Squeaky

I have known many. Two Rocks, Little Dot, Gilligan, No Show, and Radar just to name a few. Most eventually died of lead poisoning.
If I'm not back in five minutes, wait longer!

I chased one all year last year, the closest he got to me was 70 yards. He earned the name "Slick Willy." He's still around. Hoping to put the hammer on him opening day.

We have one on a small piece of property that we call "Fencepost" he always comes to the field and will sit on the fence for 45 minutes and survey the situation. I hope he is still there this year!!!

Houdini, Problem Child, the Ole gee.
These turkeys will live in my mind until I pass. They are legacies.
