Title: Wild Turkey Calling Contest
Post by: turkeydancer on February 18, 2014, 08:49:12 AM: Per my e-mail discussions with Cabelas - Tulalip Event Coordinator, I will be helping her with a Wild Turkey Calling Contest on Sun Mar 16th @ noon. These are a lot of fun ... bring you favorite calls.

Im so dang good, Id end up calling all the birds all the way over from the east side. And that just wouldn't be right! Have fun, hope to run into you again. I do not know if I told you that 2012 I got all 3 birds with a muzzleloading shotgun, I borrowed from Rich Reathaford, NWTF. It was a hoot, if you ever get a chance try it. Also I got all 3 birds last year. 10th year in a row now. Kinda thinking about trying a bow this year. ??? Just to mix it up and maybe be the first to get all 3 birds with all 3 weapons. But what will I do if I get em all with a bow,,, how to beat it? Maybe next year I could try and catch each one by hand? :-) Hey take care, and maybe see ya soon!

I do have a black powder shotgun, a compound bow, and a recurve to go along with my two regular twelve gages. I need to dust them off and pop some birds with them too. Best wishes to you on continued good harvests.

I noticed if you surprise them and run real fast. They hit the deck before going to flight and that is when I pounce. That is probably why coyotes and bobcats do so well
