Title: Roostin Turkies
Post by: Ridgeratt on April 05, 2017, 08:00:23 PM: I put several birds to roost this evening. :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL:

They look like should be an easy hunt.

Post by: Gobble Doc on April 05, 2017, 08:40:11 PM: Definitely cheaper! What decoy should I use?
Title: Re: Roostin Turkies
Post by: Ridgeratt on April 05, 2017, 08:46:25 PM: Perhaps the wheeled decoy. :dunno:

I think there is a liberal bag limit as well.

It may have been tried. Whole foods may be more entertaining

When the small game license is 40.00 they turkie tag is 15.00 the fuel cost for most of you guys to get here. Just what does that average out per pound for the delicious hunk of meat?

Post by: Gobble Doc on April 07, 2017, 08:27:46 PM: It's not about the cost per pound as much as the opportunity to collect ticks and try to figure out if the gobble you hear is a bird or someone over calling.

Post by: Gobble Doc on April 07, 2017, 08:35:01 PM: What size shot do you use on those hardened birds?
Title: Re: Roostin Turkies
Post by: Ridgeratt on April 07, 2017, 08:36:39 PM: They are partial to 20's
Title: Re: Roostin Turkies
Post by: Gobble Doc on April 07, 2017, 08:47:30 PM: I think the $20s go in the gas tank.
