Flash Scouting?
« on: March 16, 2010, 09:19:57 PM »
I've read a couple of turkey hunting articles recently on "Flash Scouting."  :dunno:  Any of you into this new style of locating birds??  What exactly do they mean by "Flash Scouting?"  Are they talking about Flash Gordon speed of light stuff or maybe drive by scouting??   :DOH:

I've never herd of it Phantom. Probobly just another gimmic. I still think that the old ways are best. Telling your wife to get out there, and find me some birds has always been the best. :chuckle:

Get out there before the sun comes up and drop your drawers. Something about the way the moonlight reflects gets the gobblers going crazy.

Seriously though one of favorate things to do is take a mouth call, and crow like a rooster chicken. They will answer that call when a nothing else seems to be working at times. Plus nobody else does it so it's something different. Also a goose call works at times.

Who says Hunting-Washington.com isn't entertaining?  Yose guys are too much!  LOL!

Flash Scouting and Flash Calling is definitely linked to Flash Turkey Hunting, also known as Tony McCleb's Secret in The Old Pro Turkey Hunter" by Gene Nunnery.

This is the move to make when everything else in your vest of tricks fails to work on an old educated invincible gobbler.   :chuckle:

The McCleb's have used this trick for generations and it has earned them great reputations as master turkey hunters.

Hint: Shoot-em-dead is on the right track!  ;)

Are these also considered types of flash hunting..dine and dash, in and out, run and gun, "jump, dump & hump", fiddle & faddle and/or dive and jive?  If so I am a flash hunting master.   :chuckle:

I "flash" scout all the time.  Cross my fingers when there's a lull time that one of my "flash" trips pays off.  You'd be surprised at the results.
