ITS TIME TO TALK TURKEY !!!!!

[BOWHUNTER45]

So here it is again ... I can not believe how fast it comes and goes... I know a few people who want to get out and give it a try for the first time ....Unfortunately its hard to take all the people who ask so I decided I am giving my time to the youth hunt this year ... Couple little buddies have been begging So I am on it ... Cant wait !!!I plan on doing alot more this year than last year ...Heck never went last year until the last week but their was no regrets ...it was a calling fest !!! If I cant call a bird in then I would rather let him walk ...its all about the gobble for me and listening to all those hens in the morning ...That alone keeps me fired up ...I have been practicing for a solid month now but its what you have to do to get sharp ...Seems to be alot of experienced turkey hunters on this site and I am glad we all enjoy it ...its just a fun time to be in the spring woods hearing the calls of the wild ...I guess I need to hit a banquet this year ...Have not been since I turned mine over

Hey BH45, Your getting me fired up for the season. I finally have my trip approved and hopefully we can get together. I'll be at the cabin 17th april - 6th May. I have a fairly full house on the weekends, but always room for more (on the floor  ). Hopefully we can hook up for a hunt.

gobble gobble.... can't wait 

[Gobble Doc]

BH45 you got me thinking I better pull out the calls and get going.  I've never been good at the mouth calls but maybe this year I'll give it another try.  I always end up sounding like a wounded goose.

[BOWHUNTER45]

I know the time is starting to draw nigh when I start ordering more turkey books online, when I haven't read all the ones from last year!!

I got $75 to spend at Cabelas for Christmas.  Trying to figure out how to best expand my turkey toys.  Maybe a box call?  Maybe a better choke for my sons 20g?  Maybe some nodoze for trying to get up in the middle of the night?

A good choke tube really makes a ton of difference! I use to use just a factory full choke and was never really happy with my pattern past about 30 yards. I started running some higher end chokes and man! did it change things! I have taken birds at around 50 yards and also use one of the chokes for my shotgun when calling for yotes. I have shot yotes with 4 buck a long ways out there. My money would be on a new choke tube for the boy and maybe a new box call

is there anywhere to turkey hunt on the west side?

[yelp]

Birds are gobbling and strutting..first report. 

[BOWHUNTER45]

I just got my Cabelas turkey magizine and they have out some new decoys .. man they are nice but spendy !!! Zink Avian-X  will run ya $ 79.99 for the hen and $ 99.99 for the Jake  cant force myself to spend that kinda money on a decoy ... I personally do not use them much except in the 1st part of the season ... Just me ! then they have DSD Decoys and JEEEZ Batman they will cost ya valuable gas money  $ 159.00 for the Jake and $ 119.00 for the hen .... think I just keep the ones I got  they do look good !!

[yelp]

They look nice..but I use a stuffer hen and it works just fine.  But she is hard to pack around all over. 

[Gobble Doc]

Yelp,

I remember your stuffer.  Isn't that the one that the eagle picked up? 

I would go for a Colville Turkey Day Event.  I'm afraid I'd probably be the one coming back to the campfire without any birds though!  I don't know if I could take listening to everyone talk about giant gobblers walking in and struttin around while I sit sheepishly.  On the other hand I'm pretty confident I could probably accomplish putting down a couple beers.
