Fall Turkey
« on: October 16, 2011, 11:44:33 PM »
A friend and I went out this afternoon. Killed 7 in the first round, 3 in the second. I got my limit of 6 for my county. I am finished and happy. I could start going from county to county and putting the smack down on turkeys, but 6 is enough.

I changed my mind on 6 being enough. I am going to a neighboring county this coming Sunday to get some more birds. I will post pics once the hunt is done.

Also, here is a pic after I got home and just before I shucked out the breasts.

I use the sneak up on them and start shooting 8). Sometimes I will sit and just yelp and kee kee until they come in, of course I set up in an area they should be coming through or roosting in. The ones I hunted the other day would flush when we shot and as soon as they hit the ground, start kee keeing and they would come back pretty quick or stop and stick their heads up......BOOOM! I managed to shoot one out of the air.

Alot of my buddies bust them up and call them back in with good success. I have never done that unless you count after I start shooting ;D. The spring is a good time big gobblers, but if you want numbers, come in the fall.

The first batch was killed on private land. The Wilson County land will be public.
