You always shot Toms because i called them in for you opening day/week after we studied that particular bird for 3 weeks before season. So whatever, i decked those past 2 years birds at 40 yards. I dropped them like a breifcase you fuggin mollonmaries. Everybody knows me as the the RockWall King down there now.

By "decked" at 40 yards do you mean shooting then watching it run away and fly off as you try to pump another shell in your gun yelling that it's jammed, when the only problem was you already pumped the damn gun!. Some real rock wall king level stuff right there turkey slayer. only guy i know with a red dot and still fuckes it up. .

The only reason I let you call is because I can't film, scratch leaves, putt purr, and shoot. I have to let you feel like you're doing something too. It's like when they let the retarded kid play a snap at the high school game and nobody touches him all the way to the endzone. I can't count the number of birds I let walk so you could get a shot but you couldn't because you picked the most retarded brush choked hole to sit in.

Well it took three years but Aden finally tagged his first turkey and it was a real nice one, After sitting for the first half hour today, we spent the rest of the morning running and gunning covering more than a few miles. Twice we saw turkeys in the distance but had no luck circling around them and trying to get them to come in. Bumped a couple of well fed coyotes, I kept calling in spots which I've had success in the past , but no responses. Finally sweaty and a bit worn out we tried one last spot before heading in for lunch. Threw out a few yelps and clucks and then ....,,,,,Gobbles! Sounded a couple hundred yards away....We quickly sat against a couple of trees .....and after about 5 minutes i tossed out another set and their reply made it clear they were headed our way. Two mature Toms appeared at 60 yards and closed the distance to about 25 . They hung up behind some underbrush (for two looong minutes which felt like 30) but Aden waited patiently for a clear shot. He got his first bird and I was extremely proud of him. This will be his last youth turkey hunt as he ages out but it will be a lasting memory for both of us!

Freaking awesome right there!

That's great and looks like a beautiful mature bird.

And i always bitched at you for letting them walk. Were in the business of killing birds, not treating Alex like hes a "special needs" child. Ill be okay, ive killed enough, 17 now, you wont hear me bitch if you nigger me out of a bird. All this tells me is you sincerely love me. Im grateful for that.

My preferred method of turkey hunting these days makes it easy to be well equipped to fool a turkey. If I were still a run and gun hunter I’d only carry a gun, call and three shells. These decoy is heavy and apparently very frustrating for our pet birds. Just bought it today and I’m anxious to see the reactions of wild birds to it.

Yeahhhhhhh. It's not that I treat you as a special needs kid. It's just I much prefer saying congrats and slapping you on the back and having a nice walk back to the truck. As opposed to carrying some stinky roided out chicken with wings that catch on everything and gets blood all down the back of me. .

I had to wait for it to get far enough away from you and then I killed the shit out of that maple tree. . It's amazing how when you start your swing from behind, get your lead, touch the shot and swing through there will ALWAYS be a tree there.

So with this week's weather turning back to shitty how are you guys going to go about it. We're headed to ky Thursday. I'm debating on what to do with the weather rain and colder. I'm probably overthinking it because turkeys are gonna turkey no matter what. Just hope they gobble with Temps in the 30s and 50s and rain.

Was just thinking about this. I’m going with the “can’t kill ‘em from the couch” approach lol. Yeah it’s gonna suck but I’d rather be out there trying. Probably focus on some more open areas if the rain is steady. Sunday looks to be an improvement over Saturday

Cooler temps are a Godsend. Rain sucks just because a wet bird does not make a pretty picture.
