Turkey hunting and BS welcome!

A few cornals of corn and u could have had some pot pets

 

What's up Cody

 

Not much getting ready to do some yard work. Might put a lift in a 4Runner today waiting to hear back. What are u into

 

Just winding a few loose ends so I can get out of here Monday.

 

Saw one lone tom yesterday and today. Hes got a blue head so Im guessing hes about a two year old. They havent been around but I heard him or at least I assume it was him, gobbling couple days ago.

 

Head color is indicative of mood, not age. Their heads change color depending on their mood.

 

I like them white heads bobbing along, looks like an ice cream cone coming in.

 

Have not seen a turkey in Calif. in years. They are absolutely in the Sierras, tho.

 

Ive seen the jakes looking like hens then the older ones have the blue or almost white head gobbling.seems the more mature ones were blue to me..

 

Yes, mature gobblers have more testosterone which effects head color changes with mood swings. So, I guess that grey/blue-ish heads could be younger turkeys...or calm adults. When mature gobblers get really excited, the top of their head will turn bright white.

 

I wished it was open today...saw 2 down the hill and one in my driveway, and heard some more around. Saw one hen by the feeder, all in a matter of an hour. They shut up here at about 830am

 

Carried this one out last week. 19.1 lbs, 9" beard, 1" spurs

 

What part of SC are you in??
Nice bird. Congrats.

 

thats a nice bird! Ours are about 16lbs

 

Very nice bird

 

Hunt in

Ravenel, SC in Charleston County

 

Ah...I thought that rock road looked a lot like the ones in the Francis Marion. Am I right??

 

Never hunted FM but there's probably a ton of turkeys in there. Berkeley County ranks like 2nd in SC for total turkeys harvested.

 

There are a lot of turkeys there, but even more people. I called one into 25yrds this morning out there, but I let him go because I could not tell how good he was. I did not want to turn over a dead turkey to find 3/4" spurs. I hunt public land 99% of the time.

 

Out with my nephew for youth season day in wv
Regular season opens Monday hooray!!!
