Turkey

Virginia opens next Saturday - can’t wait! Added some Amazon light weight leafy full Ghili suit 2 years ago and along with TSS shot it’s a game changer.
 
Monroe county
Not far from where I used to hunt. My lease was actually in Coffeeville but not everyone knows where that is
 
My two thickest ones!

My family was involved one of the last feuds in Alabama history there. So I am familiar :ROFLMAO:
That area had a couple. The Mitcham War too. The red bound book on the history used to sit on the mantle of the old house we used as a bunk house. I could be mistaken but I think the monument was somewhere on the lease, could’ve been on one of the neighboring ones.

Miss hunting there. Turkey hunting was amazing but those birds were smart.

You ain’t lying they are pretty smart around here.
 
Found one this morning in S. Georgia on my place. Watched him fly down, purred a few times on my glass call and he came sprinting in. Shot him at 18 yards with a single shot 20 gauge that my grandfather gave me when I was 12. After I shot this one had another bird come in from behind me and whipped up on him and my decoy for 10 minutes or so. I finally had to shoo him away to go get my bird. Then I got to see this sunrise on my walk back to the truck.

Close but no cigar for my 10 year old son this morning. Had to watch this nice double beard at 75 yds for nearly an hour. No way to make a move on him or call him off the dozen hens he was with. And of course the guide got the blame- “ Dad I told you where we should sit but you decided to sit here”.

Haven’t hunted turkey in probably 20 years but love seeing these fantastic birds everyone has been taking!
I actually saw a hen on my place this weekend while fertilizing my pea patch. First turkey I’ve ever seen south of hwy 98 in my home county.
 
Had an awesome hunt with a couple buddies hammering some birds in both New Mexico and Colorado over the weekend. Results of our 1st morning

Here in north fl
The big toms did not show up on my place until sat afternoon. Then season went out Easter.

But the boys had a few learning moments this year so not a lose
Showing them the woods is all ways good
 
Oregon allows three per season and I'm now tagged out. I went to three different areas to find these 3 toms, all of which were two year old birds. My wife is up to bat next.

I have hunted birds in Florida, GA. SC, Alabama, mid west states and several states out west.

The further south east I’ve hunted the more educated the birds seemed. Maybe due to having been around for decades longer than the transplants in the Midwest.

Compared to the Southeast birds. And Osceola’s especially. The Midwest birds including where I am are a push over. And out west they seem almost eager to run in and be shot. And the western birds respond much easier to calls.

They are all fun. And of course each hunt is unique. And I’ve had individual hunts that were easier in the east than the hardest hunt in the west. Sometimes they run in and make it easy other times they make you pull your hair out. But those SE birds can be a handful.

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
