Rizzo Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Didn't realize there was a course, wife tells me I don't need one to be a turkey. Good luck though, hope you pass. Practise your "gobble gobble" tonight and you'll be the star pupil tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilkynan Posted March 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Great course - was expecting more of an "up-sell", but not bad. They fellows who did the presentation, John and ?? - were excellent. Also saw a couple that were in my group from the Wolfs Den course when I did my Pal and Ontario Hunting course - 31 sleeps to go to TURKEY season!!!!!! Will keep you all posted!!!!

Fisherman Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Ya, not a bad seminar, and I liked the one statement, if it wasn't for the stupid ones out there, the MNR wouldn't have a job. Next trip to BPS, maybe go look for a call or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ch312 Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 the turkey course is a waste of both time and money. seriously, anyone that doesnt have enough common sense to know all the stuff that they "teach" you at the courses shouldnt even be allowed to hunt anything.

irishfield Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Could have had many today on the drive to TO. 5 standing on the side of the highway between the 400 extension/11/400 interchange and duckworth exit on the West shoulder..walking along picking thru the gravel. Many flocks wandering the fields with the snow melt. Biggest flock/gaggle I saw was on the sod farm just south of 89. My "herd" is still running around the house on a daily basis...MISFISH get up here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take offense to that comment, I could say that maybe you're **, but I didn't, I just thought the thought to myself. The unfortunate thing is you don't get the turkey tag without the course.

Eddyk Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 There was about 50 turkeys wandering around on the ice on the lake behind my house just the other day. Are they good to eat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Oh ya, very good, no added growth hormones, antibiotics, or any of the other stuff they force feed store turkeys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 I used to regularly see 4 turkeys living in the woods on Shirley Street right here in town. Unfortunately, haven't seen them in a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unfortunate thing is you don't get the turkey tag without the course. the turkey course is just another money grab if you ask me.... as for eating wild turkey. the best method by far is to deep fry them in peanut oil. the oil is a little pricey so its a good idea to buy the proper filters so you can reuse it.

Northhunter Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 It's kinda sad, but they probably wouldn't have the course if it wasn't for some of the things that have happened in the past. Guys getting a shotgun blast in the face because their cigarette pack had blue/red/white on it, etc. The way they are hunted makes the activity more accident prone, not to mention most of the zones are in the south where there's less land and more hunters. Our turkey hunt is also relatively new. If they tried to impose a mandatory seminar for something like deer hunting it would get a lot more backlash. The deer hunt's been around forever, and all you've ever needed is a tag and hunter's safety. The money helps too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 I think one of the utmost important thing that should be stressed when it comes to hunting is knowing what you're going to kill or shoot at. The last time I wanted to scout the Minising swamp, 6-7 years ago, the CO stopped me and asked if I knew where I was going, sure up to the iron bridge, bad move it's full of a particular ethnic group. One twig cracks and world war 3 erupts. If you don't see and look what your shooting at, then maybe you should wear ear plugs so you can't hear it either.

lilkynan Posted March 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Well - I am a Newbie - and maybe $35 bucks to me was a good deal - I learned one thing. Dont want to tell what is was, but I picked a new thing up. Also doing a lot of reading, talking and asking questions. When I do something, I do it to the very best, most professional, knowledgeable level I can be before trying anything. If I cannot be a perfectionist, and pass this knowledge to my kin and friends, then I have done wrong. So - as a newbie - I am still learning - and as an experienced person in several other fields of outdorr acivities, work, life, family - I am always learning. There are no short cuts - and thinking you are the know it all - will make you a person who needs to learn To all others who are learning and enjoyed the course for this new hobby I discovered - Have a great season and keep in touch Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
