    Then it was photo time. Probably wouldn’t have gotten it done without the old school camo.

    The flock hung around for a bit while we called grandpa, who’d had already hopped in the truck.

    So, back to the action. I texted the photo of the birds to my Dad and made a few more yelps on the mouth call. The two toms moved down the hill several yards from their position in the photo above. They paused for a bit and seemed to survey the situation. Then they put their heads down and...

    The 3:15 am alarm came early. Once we got up, getting dressed, breakfast, the drive, and getting the cart packed to walk out went pretty smooth. Then the problems started. We got about 100 yards in to the soaking wet alfalfa and my daughter was not happy, as her boots and socks were wet. I...

    Well, youth season was two weeks ago. Now we’re in to the second week of the general season here in WI. We loaded the truck up and headed for NEW last night. This time it was my daughter’s turn. We were going in cold and only had this morning to hunt. It rained most of Friday afternoon so...

    Another good waste of TSS . . . better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it, as they say.

    They brine it then smoke it. It turns out nice. Works perfect in a pie. I’d definitely recommend giving it a try. I’ve not asked if they do anything besides smoking turkey.

    Yeah, had to get the bird cleaned up in time to drop it off at Maplewood Meats for smoking before they closed (2 pm) for the weekend. They’ll smoke it, halve it on the band saw, and then vac seal each half. He’ll eventually turn in to six smoked wild turkey pot pies. Also had an order of...

    This photo illustrates that bold move pretty well. I initially set the blind with the front corner where the turkey is at in the photo. All that old slash is what made the move such a cluster. The birds came down the edge of the trees in the grass and the Tom was about to step in to the...

    So, the story got a bit disjointed as this went from a live thread to a dead thread. We moved the blind back and then I made post #20 a bit later. Posts #22 and #23 provided some detail and filled in some gaps. Back to the action - I sat there while he slept and called off and on to the birds...

    Favorite turkey calls

    I’ve seen some like that lead to lead poisoning.

    Favorite turkey calls

    Some form of mouth call. Hands free, easy to use, sounds decent, easy to pack, etc. Cuttin 2.5 usually. That said, I sealed the deal on one today with a slate.

    The blue arrow above is where an old logging exits the wood lot. The bulk of the birds were roosted just to the right of that blue arrow; within 100 yards or so of our set up. Another Tom was roosted in the big oaks behind the red arrow, about 175 yards away. The birds flew down in to the...
