Re: I wish it were April! Pic i know your pain, i just checked my turkey permit on the ILL. DNR site and got my first choice, to hunt 1000 acres that has three resident groups total of about 200 birds, for five days starting April 3. Im counting the days.

Re: spring turkey opening day i use my bow,than i get out the 12 guage. haven't got a tom yet but got good film of some coming in. with a small tripod its easy to video tape turkey hunts

Re: diaphram call i use HS strut calls. you can get a variety pack for about 10 dollars. gives 4 types of calls with a case allowing you to switch out to a different call. but i don't like the ones with the tone chamber because i don't get a good sound

Re: Learning Diaphram Calling just practice with any tape. and remember the worst sounding turkey call you'll hear, is usually real.

Re: Need help. Anatomy of a turkey. that not a stink thats the smell of victory and its even better if there wet

Re: Team: LUCKY 13! I'm still out their trying. i just need to get my pictures to come out . i think the camera was to cold last time

Re: My fall turkey(pic) a young bird tastes better than a 3 year old tom. good job

Re: Team: LUCKY 13! sorry i cant seam to get a picture to turn out i have a doe with a bow and a doe with a hand gun but cant inter them

i just got back from 8 days of deer hunting in Central Illinois. the deer wasn't that great but the turkeys was amazing the park i was hunting has about 5 resident rafters of turkeys. located around the lake, the birds would start calling at sunrise and call all day long,, if the woods got to quiet, i would give a few mouth chirps , and the woods would light up again. one day i called them right into camp just repeating what the birds were doing.the equestrian trail riders would bust up the birds and they would start kee-kee-ing and within minuets they would be all around, i lost three arrows on then silly birds. maybe next year ill go turkey hunting and deer will be all around

Re: PICTURES OF MY 1ST TURKEY WITH BOW NICE JOB! isn't turkey hunting with a bow a rush

Re: Team: LUCKY 13! well im back only one small doe, sorry pictures didnt turn out, dont think i can help in the points

Re: Team: LUCKY 13! I'm heading out tomorrow to hunt for 9 days, i hope the rut is in full swing. i haven't hunted the park since opening weekend. hopefully ill put some points on the board. the weather may be a Little too warm but maybe it will cool down. wish me swift kills

Re: Carbon arrow question all of the above

Re: my frist bow kill my first kill was a doe. that was 9 years ago and im' still on a high from it. GOOD JOB on first kill

Re: Team: LUCKY 13! good job! muggs i finally started seeing deer close enough to shot but had to pass on nice 6 point 2 year old, perfect broadside at 30yards for ten minuets. He was too beautiful to shoot. he mad a scrape so maybe he will come back later and my mood will change

Re: what would you do? mat 4 life its not in a good spot it in the way to a good spot

Re: what would you do? this is a permit area and it states on the premit all stands must be removed daily. is this fair to the rest of us permit holders

Re: First accident of the year! some accidents are just that but most can be avoided. i would not want the guy who shot me to have had to spend time in prison for a stupid accident or laps in judgment. They say you cant fix stupid. he never made that mistake again and i would say hes become a advocate for safe gun handling. criminal who deliberately harm one another need to be punished. A little history we were both in our mid twenty's and nether had taken a hunters safety course however both ex military. since then we both took a hunter safety course don't be to quick to ruin a young mans future Please.

Re: Got my first turkey! Pics! nice bird i hope to get 1 this weekend with my shot gun finnallly got one with a bow this year, agian nice bird

your hunting public land and find someone has placed a permanant ladder stand in a place where they should be removed daily. would you report it or let it be.

Re: Turkey somthing i have learnt about fall calling . when the birds are flying down they scatter and then the boss hen gathers then up if you repeat all of her calls you may pull 4 or 5 birds out of the flock and to you, she will get very agressave in her calling but dont give up, talk to her and they will come to you. its callied a assembly call there is a post in the turkey forum . i have used it in the mid morning when the flock breaks up and are feeding she will be the only bird to anser but the others will start kee keeing.Im not shure how to tell you what the call sounds like but find a flock you can observe and watch the morning flydown and you will hear it . to fall hunt you have to be the boss hen where she goes they go http://www.nwtf.org/special_events/turkey_calls_assembly.html
