Turkey Hunting Costs

SpokaneSlayer, your striker issue....

I carry a 3" square of that Teflon pot scrubber material...( know what I mean?) for cleaning up my slate calls and my strikers. I think it scours off any oils which cause the striker to slide instead of skip.... ? 

Anyway, I have this "scrubby" material and I tied it to my leash on my striker so I dont lose either.... really works great if the slate or striker seem to change their sound...  just a thought...I am no turkey expert....

Thanks for the tip.  I use something similar.  this particular striker, I dropped right after pulling the trigger on my tom last Spring.  Well, I found it in September while deer hunting.  It had been exposed to the elements for 4 months.  I tried reconditioning it.  Just doesn't work as well anymore.

400-500 probably....

I'll bet $100 would barely get the licenses. If we hit Montana again it will easily be $700. Between tags fuel and a place to stay it is certainly not cheap. I do not think anyone can honestly say they hunt because it is cheaper then other food sources, unless they are hunting in the yard w/o the proper licenses. I know for what we pay for the papers from the WDFW one could buy a lot of turkey. That said I guess it really does not matter, I just want to make sure I can show my kids what to do when they try to get theirs .

Nice....I got our gobble shots taken care of....At turkey camp if you get a gobbler you have to drink a shot of Rare Breed Wild Turkey and Gobble around the campfire...!!!  I can't wait...

I need to hunt in your group. Sounds like a great time

Disclaimer........that's an empty bottle.  I watched Yelp drink that one at deer camp.

My estimate.....$300-$500

I can't remember if that is the same bottle!  I'll check...the liqour store is close by...   Just remember that if after your gobble shot to not jump in the Fire!
