    2017 spring turkey UT

    Well opening day came. I had the chance to meet up with a friend I have not seen in over 6 years and take him out for his first gobbler. We got out a bit later then I would have wanted, but got out in time to catch the birds as they left the roost. We fought hard to get above the birds and get...

    2017 spring turkey UT

    thanks for the advice guys. I have been practing hard. I can make some really soft yelp reliably with the diaphragm now, thanks to some advice from elknut. Any other noise is not reliable enough to attempt in the woods, but I will have my back up push button which I can make purr super quiet, or...

    2017 spring turkey UT

    thanks for the reply, as of last week they were still there. These birds are not hunted, as the property im hunting sits at the edge of a campground and there is no hunting on that side of the "fence". I am new to hunting turkey, not really sure the requirements for roosting, but as far as my...

    diaphram calls

    I have several that I carry with me, I am trying to make that move to diaphragms, as the hands free ability is something i really like. I also think that rounding out my skill set as a hunter is beneficial. I piked up a mellow yellow and already am making elk like sounds. I need a lot more...

    2017 spring turkey UT

    im going to be hunting the OTC spring turkey season here in utah. I have located some birds, they are on a very small piece of public land that is surrounded by private and state land. Over the past 2 weeks I have located the birds feeding in the morning up a hill from a patch of trees. I snuck...

    strength training for archery

    thanks for the link, you are likely correct about bad habits. Less arrows each day, but longer hold times on those arrows. mixing in a bit of the suggested exercises, things are looking up. once again, thanks for the constructive criticism, it all helps since I dont have anyone local to work out...

    strength training for archery

    Thanks for the link, I do have access to a cable machine. I shoot 50 arrows a day to help my form and muscle memory more then anything. I will typically start at 50 yards and shoot 10, then 10 at 40, then I will move to 30 and hold each arrow for 1 minute 10 times, then I will move to 20, shoot...

    strength training for archery

    im pulling 72lbs and am hitting a pie plate at 50 no problem, I just feel rather shaky by the end of my 50 arrows. Until now I have always had a place where I could shoot all winter, indoors.. so I never felt like my bow muscles had weakened... This year, through relocation and new jobs and life...

    Finding new ground

    As I work towards finding some new area to scout for OTC season here in Utah, I find my self spending a lot of time looking over hunt maps and google earth. I know I'm wanting to be a ways from motorized travel, with that said.. what are thoughts on pack or hiking trails. One of my potential...

    diaphram calls

    Thanks for all the great suggestions. I think I'm holding it too far back, I will check measurements. I may also order up a few new ones to try different things with. @elknut, I have been practicing at least 30 minutes a day, though a large amount of that is spent gagging. Ha, I'm dedicated to...

    diaphram calls

    im not sure if this is the best place to put this, but I figured since my main quarry is elk, its a good place to start. I am really trying to improve my elk hunting, as harvesting a mature bull with my bow has eluded me for the past few seasons. I decided to get some diaphragm calls to...
