Im glad in Bama we can hunt March 15 -April 30 and no tags. We have a 5 gobbler limit. I dont know how ya'll handle those short seasons and bad weather.

That is pretty much the type of land I hunt. I hunt out of a tripod along shooting lanes that I have cut. Dont cut the pines. We also drive with dogs in these thickets.

Usually in south Alabama deer antlers are pearl white. I think it has something to do with the sandy soil. I hunt a place in the river swamp. It has very fertile soil and the deer have darker horns.

I have done better:D

I hate windy days. You cant hear, turkeys cant hear, and turkeys seem to be spooky. My best mornings are when a big storm comes through the night before and clears out right before daylight!

Just curious, Where at in Ms?

Yes, my 870 express mag is camo'ed in realtree. Its a go-getter

Sounds like you need to kill him. You dont want him passing his genes to offspring!

On the roost I call very little. If he hears you, he knows where you are. If he wants to come he will come. On the ground I get call a little more. If he is gobbling alot and getting closer, I slow down on calling. Sometimes they will hang up if you call to much. If he isnt gobbling alot to crows etc. but is gobbling to me. I get a little aggressive with calling. Sometimes I will call to him just to to see where he is. This is my experiance. Just get out their and hunt. You will learn alot more by experiance!

40 is my max. The fun of turkey hunting is calling them in Close. I dont understand why people want to shoot a turkey 80 yards away. Turkey hunting is a game of stratagie. Its about the chase not killing.

At 3:00am Jones county was getting ROCKED! A big limb fell out of a big oak and took the corner of my house and the power lines down with it.

Man, we are in the same boat. Where do you live. Im from Jacksom,Al about a hour North of Mobile. The best thing I have found is to not call at all. Learn this turkeys pattern and set up a ambush. If that doesnt work, try to hunt later in day. By then then hens have left the gobbler and he will be looking for more luvin. If that doesnt work ambush him on his way to the roost. I love these kinds of birds. They make you a better hunter. Enjoy!

The other morning a yote ruined my turkey hunt. 3 1/2 #6s swarmed him at 40 yards. He didnt take another step.

Rye grass will grow anywhere..Last fall it was growing in my truck bed!

Gobbling turkeys will make people do stuff that they dont normaly do.
