  1. Looking for Turkey outfitter, PA, VA or NC. Any suggestions, recommendations greatly appreciated.. Thanks a bundle ahead of time!!!
  2. Hmmmm, the does circled the decoy, coming within yards of our stand. They didn't even look up, just kept eyes on the decoy. Weird. Cool none the less.
  3. That sucks!!! Is it nerve or just stupidity, would drive me insane. Hope you bust this idiot!!!
  4. FINALLY, after 5 years of scraping and breaking (my back), I got the chance to try a real turkey hunt with my son. I watched enough videos and did enough reading to get me ready. We rented a cabin in southern Ohio, and despite 10 hours driving, we even got the chance to do some scouting. Monday morning, we get out spot, I set up the decoy, sit down and start out with a soft cluck. Waited about 10 minutes, another soft cluck. On the third try, gobble!!!. Needless to say I was screaming inside "Holy sh*t, it works!!!!". My son was tingling with excitement. I did a soft three yelp call, gobble gobble!!!. He was definitely getting closer. All the sudden, no response for rest of morning. Here is where it gets interesting. Next morning, same spot, moved decoy to place where I assume the tom would see it based on the direction of his responses on the morning before. Started with a soft cluck, wait ten minutes, another soft cluck pattern. Next thing, three huge does come down. As soon as the one in front sees the decoy, she freaks out. Makes some "hush" sound, like a sneeze. The deer don't take off, just are literally freaked out by decoy. They eventually simply walk around it staring at decoy, with lead doe making that sound. I start the cluck pattern again, gobble gobble!!, tom is back. For every cluck, a response, he was definitely coming our way. To get to the point, as soon as the tom pops out of the brush, circles a tree, see's the decoy, it jumped back, and took off. We came home empty handed, but what an education. We enjoyed every second of it. So any advise? explanations? Thanks rayzorp Box call - Primos Decoy- Avian-X Feeder
  5. agreed, I've had a 700 BDL for over 12 years, it never just "went off", one thing I did notice during the documentary, one such a case of a rifle just going off involved a modified gun,,
  6. No it's not,, place looks great, but unfortunately I don''t think I'll be able to come up with that kind of the money,,
  7. Way to go Christina!!! Beautiful bird!!! And two thumbs up to you wtnhunt for taking a child hunting,, makes for great memories...
  8. Within driving distance from NJ, if anybody knows of one they'd recommend, I'd much appreciate. This will be my son's first turkey hunt,, I wan to make it special,, PA, VA would be good,, Ray
  9. Turkey season around the corner and I'm definitely going to take a crack at it.. I'd like to try an owl hoot, I borrowed a HS Strut Hooter call, I want to practice, so I found some sites on line with recorded owl hoots I can practice against, my thing which species? I'll be in Northern New Jersey.. like always, any tips or advice are greatly appreciated Ray
  10. Thanks man!! I got some work cut out for me
  11. Just got an invite to take my son for his first turkey hunt. Bird or not, we will have a great time. Just in case an angel smiles on us and he gets a bird, what is the best way to preserve the tail feathers and beard until I get a mount kit? Thanks!!! Ray
  12. Anybody know where I can pick up a B-Square saddlemount for a Remington 20ga, as per B-Square part number 16822MB, (Mossy Oak finish), I'm in New Jersey, so on-line would be good,, Thanks!! Ray
  13. I use them all the time. Good prices, cheap shipping. I've also had good experiences with Keystone Archery.
  14. yes sir,, sorry I didn't respond earlier,, started a new job so things have been a little crazy
  15. I bought this bike back in 1999, drove a few times on the in-laws property in upstate NY for two seasons, been garaged since 2000. I've used it a few times, but I have no more use for it so it's time to move on.. I'm asking $1700 If anybody within driving distance to northern NJ is interested, just shoot me an email at [email protected]
