Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire For the "Purists" turkey hunter types. The Horror...LOL!!!

I have hunted and killed turkey with longbows, recurves, rifles, shotguns and muzzleloaders.

To heck with the purists, go out and have fun. If it wasn't for the fun of the spring season I would say kill them all. They wrecks lawns, hay pens and carry a disease that kills young calves.

Best to shoot them with a rifle is well before season, all bachelored up still. Recommend 30 round mag.

Purists would frown on anything more than a 5 round mag

Hey ...
Your putting raisins in my apple pie right???

Soaked em overnight before adding em to the apples before baking right???


👍👍👍👍👍👍😄😄😄😄😄

Turkey with a rifle ? wouldn't a .223 give you more range and where would you set up the E caller ?

I have michigan apples and washington apples. Got them dehydrated in the Coneheads mass-quantity Jerky Master.

I should’ve hauled all those peelings out to my giant pile of YellowYelper.

Give the good ole boys on the TWRC a couple more years so they can pull favors for the good ole boys from their region.
Become legal in a couple yrs.

No turkeys get shot with a rifle over yellow yelper helper on private land in Tn.
We all know that!!!!

LOL!!!

Is that what your doing with all them things???

Put some salt on em.
Not much...

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Half the fun is when they hang up 75 yards away from you , Gets your heart rate up .

That’s because for all their wariness and skittishness, and their great senses, they’re still dumb as....., well turkeys. Seen a bunch of videos where after one is shot the others pile on and stomp the corpse, like bison do sometimes. If the cameraman has a tag, the crew can switch places and whack another one.

57yds is my record for a hung up bird.

Half the time I don't know what you are saying, and arn't you turkey hunting? why are you making 50 posts when you should be enjoying the hunt? This forum has turned in to the same 5 people posting crap that makes no sense.

Aint heard a single shot all morning.

All around me and open for hunting.
Cars were parked in other areas driving in here.

Weather and low pressure air might have em shut down gobbling all around???

I’ll happily use a rifle, but don’t want a turkey donut, so shot placement or load choice matters to me. I think a .36-.40 roundball is about ideal. Working on something along those lines now.

Not at all interested in them as big feathery “groundhogs”. Too much good meat there, and no challenge at all. I’m a jackass, but have limits.

They almost always flog the flopper, in my times out. Guess they think someone is crackin a hen. But often the are 2 or 3 toms on the scene. Funny to see jakes run in to get a jab in on a dominate bird. LOL

I had a spike buck attack an 8 point I had down. Kept gouging at his white belly fur. Had to wave it off after a couple mins. Though he was going gut him for me.

Aint even heard no shots off post.

Frank Cannon is still at the waffle house

They like shiny stuff.

Buddy of mine went to MS State, worked at the poultry farm. Growing them 50# turkeys.

Don’t in the pen with any thing shiny. No watch, rings, necklace chains. They’d peck ya.....

Especially early if Toms are close to hens on the roost, there’s no reason for them to gobble. Lots of times they talk quiet on the tree and fly down together. 10-12 after they finish with those hens they get mouthy looking for love again.
