Turkey Hunting

....is probably one of the most frustrating sports I have participated in. On Saturday I sat underneath a tree and was imitating the clucks that I heard the birds making while still on roost. I watched 2 birds fly down, continue to cluck with a slate call and await eagerly. There is a lot of commotion in the woods these days......lots of acorns dropping and the sound of branches breaking everywhere. Anyway, I hear an unfamiliar sound behind me and as I turn there is a hen turkey 2 feet away and just as surprised to see me as I am of seeing her. She lets out a yelp and flies out of my life....and off my dinnertable.

Earlier this Spring I am trying to call in a Tom and instead I call in all hens in his flock while the Tom is feeding just out of gun range. Naturally I can't shoot hens in the spring but find amusement in the fact they are walking in front of me and have no idea I am there.

This is my third season without filling my tag....I swear I could do a better job hunting Yettis.
 
I've never hunted them, but I always see them this time of year when I drive north to go salmon fishing. Last year I had to stop my car in the middle of the road to let about a dozen of them get out of the way. Heck, a few years ago I thought I was losing my mind when I saw this huge turkey in the road. When I came closer I realized someone's peacock had gotten loose. That was a sight to see.

Snipe hunting is the worst. My 'friends' take me out every year, and leave me alone in the best spots, but I never even see one of the bastards!

Try going deer hunting. Usually, during bow season, I see nothing but turkeys. Then during turkey season, I see nothing but deer.

Yeah I saw 4 deer that morning. All of them were sniffing the ground and checking their scent posts. 1 Buck and 3 Does. I was down there to hang some stands after the morning hunt. I am pretty excited about the rut and I think things will start to get interesting in the woods this weekend.

Not to worry Princess,

You weren't around when vrb posted one of his poems and caught some flack for it. We all know how opposed he is to hunting so this is like the 3rd or fourth time I've seen him respond to one of my posts and wanted to call him on it.

P.S. He hates fraternities too. :biggrin:

No worries. I've actually been lurking around here a bit longer than I've been posting, and I've been bored enough at work lately to read some older stuff, and I actually find it quite amusing.

And Squirrels. Them barking little bastards make it impossible to deer hunt. It's like the deer pay them to be guard dogs or something. I dont know how many times I have finally gotten pissed off and just shot the damn squirrel, then went home :biggrin:

two years ago during bow season, i took 3 or 4 arrows with field tips every time i went out, just to shoot squirrels with, it was a blast.

I knew a couple people who used to squirrel hunt out of their dorm room window with crude tools and would cook their prey and eat it
