Too bad they taste like game. lol. geee...the ones out your way seem smart. The ones in Cobourg where my mother in-law lives are stupid. They sit by her feeder and wait till she comes out to fill it up. I think it's her voice that attracts them or the fact that well.... She's short.....tiny and .....looks kinda like a turkey .

Stern Rules Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I don't hunt yet but I saw 4 wild turkeys in a field Saturday just off the 403 towards Paris. Did a double take and checked the binoculars and they were turkeys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzuluSpookd Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) I have nothing to hold out for. The Shhhhh was in reference to GB's comment. Yesterday, there were no birds in the first spot. Went out to Moonstone and had gobblers all around us, but wouldn't come out of the hardwood. Decided to take 3 hours off of work this morning and head back out there by myself. Set up a Hen Decoy, and the birds started gobblin' around 0605 hours. I tried a few different calls and the one they responded to the most was my mouth call, that I had been practicing on for quite a while. After about 10 minutes going back and forth, the group of them came up on my left about 20 yards...4 Jakes and 2 Hens...going right for my decoy....no Tom, but I was looking for a Jake to go up on the wall...so I picked the biggest bugger and took him out. Nice bird, weighed in at 18.2 pounds at Wolf's Den (needed a weigh to enter contest) All 3 other jakes started kicking and jumping on my dead bird, made me laugh. Here it is. Pressure is over, now I can relax and get my big bird later. Marty,you holding out???? Edited April 27, 2010 by AzuluSpookd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Cliff Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 A friend called me yesterday evening asked me to go over and have a look at his lawn tractor. I was going to go out to my blind so I figured I'd stop at his place on my way. When I pulled into his yard I saw what I thought was a turkey about 250 yards behind his house in his field. Pulled out the glasses and sure enough, a nice tom. Alex came out and I commented that there was a nice tom down back. Alex insisted I take his truck and drive down there. I wasn't going to bother figuring it would just run off but Alex was very insistant so to shut him up I drove down to where I had seen the bird, parked the truck, got out and loaded my gun, and sat on the tail gate. I let go with my gobbler call and within seconds he answered me from just inside the cedars about 30' away. I called again and he came running out of the bush with me sitting right there in the open. He stopped, for a second and looked at me like "what the heck are you". I didn't like the look he gave me so I shot him! I sure don't see what the big deal is with turkey hunting, drive out into a field, sit in plain sight, total elapsed time about 10 minutes. I use to go sit in my blind at 5 am all dressed in camo, haul my decoys out, call and watch careful to not make any movement that might tip them off that I was in the area. All I'd ever see was hens. To heck with it, from now on I'm going to drive out to the field in broad day light, honk the horn and wait for some dumb tom to challange me!

musky66 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Very funny story, I am not a hunter but appreciate the fact that I have no doubt hunters were partially responsible for the re-introduction of Turkey to Ontario. I really enjoy seeing them around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
