Turkey hunting and BS welcome!

I had to go back and read through some old posts in this thread...this is some classic stuff I dug up.

 

I'm glad it worked out for yall.
Folks can hunt any way they want, within the law. Don't matter to me. I am just speaking for ME and I will not use a decoy. I do not want to kill a turkey that was fooled by a plastic turkey. When strutting decoys first came out, my wife gave me one for my birthday. I used it exactly twice and promptly gave it away. Both times, turkeys got sight of it and ran to it. I might as well have not even had a call. That's not my idea of fun turkey hunting. If it is satisfying for you, then have at it.
You and I just play a totally different game...and that's fine.

 

well first day was a bust high wind and snow

 

same here in WV lol

 

I’m a Pocahontas bunting private where are you at

Nope bath county overlook

 

I saw one on my way up the hill on my atv...thought it might be a tom but just a lone hen. Or at least it didnt have a beard so I just let it pass..

 

I love daybreak in the timber

 

Let us know how it goes. Best of luck!

 

i was super close to bagging a stud this morning. he was hung with his hens at about 80 yards. if i would've had decoys and got in alittle early i think i might have smoked him

 

That’s great

 

Haha. That first one is classic.

 

Saw my first full blown bearded hen this season. It was thin, but a legit 4” beard. Saw her after shooting hours. Never saw her again.

 

That’s awesome! Can you guys shoot hens in the spring? I’m pretty sure in VA it’s gobblers only in spring. Fall is another story!

 

We can shoot the bearded ones only.

 

I’d love to see one in person one day. Also I’d like to find a double bearded gobbler also. That would be really neat.

 

No action bird wise but I found where several had been last evening after the snow fell lol I love tracking a strutting Tom in the snow just picturing them all puffed up
Sun came out, snow melted, I posted up, called a little and catnapped til I had to be out of the woods. Didn’t hear anything lol
