Mississippi Public Land Gobbler.....DEAD!

[HARDCORE]

....but did you use a turkey call to kill that ol wiley mississippi bird???  I hear they run from the sound of other turkey when you cross the state line in to Mississippi. 

Yes, all turkey talk, my best effort anyways.

But I have to admit, he did run . . . . straight to me, I shot him in self defense at 12 yards. Dang turkey almost caused me to miss.

Congrats on the public land gobbler

[HARDCORE]

Just keep up with how long before it happens like that again,   not trying to take anything form you ,  you did an outstanding job, congrats!!!!!!!,,   and if you can consistently take birds on public land in Mississippi, you can go any where and hunt anything successfully.

Robin, I agree, luck was with me on that hunt but I was determined to NOT go home empty handed.

BTW, I have to admit something, at sunrise I had heard nothing, my owl and crow rendition produced zilch, I figured it was time to try what my brother and myself call the "Preacher" to draw a gobble, needless to say it worked.  

[HARDCORE]

Congratulations! 

How have you and your brother done in Alabama so far?

It's been tough hunting, hot, gnats are horrible, and the video camera batteries are always needing to be recharged, go figure.

If I don't bring anything else to the table , I can bring the volume!!!!!!!!

tuff old Mississippi bird success= being in the right place + sounding like a turkey + being alert + patience x confidence+ luck (x) having a good time

Hey Hardcore I think big timber was trying to trick you with one of those Jedi Mind tricks. If you want to hear a Lie as a turkey hunter for details like that.  "did ya hear anything"..."yep but it was far off and I couldn't tell the direction...it may not have even been on our property." Translates to the gobbler strutted just out of shotgun range for most of the morning.

Way to go. What WMA were you hunting?

Thank you.

Where? I'm kinda reluctant to say because from what I've read about MS. public land, it's like finding a pearl in an oyster.
