Home Forums Birds & Dogs Turkey Hunting Post your turkey pics. Here's mine.

Dropped this mature ON bird late yesterday afternoon drawing him across bare fields [no decoys, no blinds - a long belly crawl in a short alfalfa field on my part. Unbelievably, I got this tom, first spotted strutting on a hill roughly 300 yards away, to within forty paces.

When he was committed to dawdling on over I gave him the silent treatment then gave him a couple of short runs when in was hidden behind a knoll. A surprisingly brief hunt but I spent a few hours on several occasions watching this flock of birds strolling all over the rolling hillsides - these birds were always in the wide open during the day. He was the satellite loner on the edges.

I like that photo. That's a pretty gobbler. Bob

Nice Bird Bert! I saw a Dandy one today, struting in a guys back yard! guess he was safe there as around the land is posted!

Thx John,

I was scouting a group tonight consisting of 4 long bearded toms, 3 jakes and four hens. Those hens are getting some fine and prompt service I must say.

Killed one today........real good hunt. Pulled the trigger 90 minutes after I first heard him, he wasn't an easy one.

9" beard, 1 1/8" spurs. Didn't weigh him but probably 18-19lbs.

nice larry

Lots of turkeys here.




I am seeing a good number of hen's with chicks, these from this morning. Rio7

does this count ?

out my front door...........

Nice of you to breeze through once in a while.

Watching 6 toms right now. 20 yards from the house. Maybe I should take up turkey hunting. Ed k

Took my second tom of the season tonight. I played a Fandango of 4-5 notes causing a 200 yard dash to within 16 paces of the intruding fan-dancer. This was the dominant bird of the four long beards running a harem which included another 3 jakes.

First bird I drew in with a turkey fan.

Cheers!
