Yelp don't forget pick up turds and throw them off the road.. :hello: Step on all the tracks you find.. ;)
Other westside tactic tips not necessarily for turkey season.
Cut down all the elk rubs, don't smoosh the bear sh*t, hide all the chantrells and if you squeal you must do it really hard due to the brush too! :chuckle:

My best call for those easterns is the squealer call. I put two of them in my mouth and squeal has loud as i can. I also have a gobbler shaker going at the same time. It sounds like one big party those gobblers cant stand it.
Nice technique. I am going to pitch Eddie Salter at HS Strut to come up with a new design. It will look something like the Snort-wheeze caller..I am thinking the "Shaking Squealer"???.. Remember the "CROWL" (I bought one)! You never know! :chuckle: I bet you slamming a car door may work too???

NO, don't throw it! its more of a hammering motion.
It is a little known fact that if you get turkeys in thick enough brush they cant take flight. I for one can outrun a turkey, so in thick brush it is GAME OVER! :chuckle:

My hunting partner, the first year he wen turkey hunting with us shot one and had to chase it down. I think he was planning on the hammering motion but even though flight was not possible, it was out running him til he put another round in it. He came in that night with a great story and a bird missing a lot of feathers :chuckle:.
What you really have to do is go for the full out open field tackle and really wrap them up so you don't come up with a handful of feathers ;) just make sure you tuck the wings or they will beat the everloving crap out of you ;)

Hey.. I resemble this comment.. Yes the hammer motion was the thought but after running for a hundred yards and not gaining on him and getting closer to the edge of the property, I let him have another. Not positive but I think a Turkey's top running speed is around 20-22 mph so if someone can run an un-wounded bird down they are a fast SOB. :chuckle:

Hey Matt,
Great looking pics as always. Were those over by your Dad's place ?
A little bit from all over our area here I guess..
We hunt them some up by my parents but they dont get the flock numbers up that high that they do in the low lands.

I remember when I first started hunting up above your Dad's, there were hundreds of em. Not so many these days for some reason.
