So far the turkeys are making me look stupid! Had several birds gobbling on the roost, some pretty close and others way off. Very quite after fly down. This Ohio humble pie don’t taste that good at the moment
Same thing here this morning.So far the turkeys are making me look stupid! Had several birds gobbling on the roost, some pretty close and others way off. Very quite after fly down. This Ohio humble pie don’t taste that good at the moment
That’s the trend I’m having on public land , maybe tuekey hunting is going back to the old days of guys sitting in one spot , waiting on one turkey
I took Wednesday off. Last night i drove around the farm owl hooting and coyote howling with no results. I can hear my calls echoing off the landscape so they should be reaching any birds in the vicinity. This morning i went out at sunrise and didn’t hear anything. Once again tried some locator calls and nothing. So i have up on the farm and started driving around the Mohican state forest public hunting area and the muskingum watershed public land as well. Hiked down one trail about a half mile, and drove 40ish miles. Never heard a single gobble to any of my calls. So i came up to where i had my encounter Tuesday but I’m set up to cut him off from where he came through. Nothing so far other than one lonesome looking hen in a field this morning. So it’s time to enjoy another cigar and look for morels after 1200.
Look at that gun!!
Model 12?
Yes sir, feather light 12 gauge. Belonged to my grandfather, serial number dates to 1957.I'm guessing Ithaca?
Who ever do you speak of?What da heck? Hurricane wash you north or did you just get lost? . Good luck to you in Ohio. I may have heard about one turkey you witnessed already. Part Amish, part Mexican, part coyote hole dweller, but a good bit of a turkey too. . (I'm sure he made you feel at home and was very hospitable.)
Love that gun. It is the most unforgiving recoil of any scatter gun I’ve ever shouldered . I won’t turkey hunt with anything else though, it’s a walk down memory lane every time I get it outWho ever do you speak of?
@Isaacorps that picture damn near put a tear in my eye I smiked so big! Fucking love it!!!
You could modify it a bit and tame that recoil. Recoil pad and have a gunsmith extend the forcing cone.Love that gun. It is the most unforgiving recoil of any scatter gun I’ve ever shouldered . I won’t turkey hunt with anything else though, it’s a walk down memory lane every time I get it out
