huntn4bucks Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Re: Realtree Turkey Team #7 I went out this weekend and did some scouting...first time in over a month it hasn't rained on the weekend. Anyway, 2 different properties I hunt were tore slap up with turkey sign. I didn't make it to my 3rd spot but I'm pretty sure it's the same. Our season opens here on March 15th but I'll be in south Florida Osceola hunting. I won't be back in Alabama to hunt Easterns until March 20th.

huntn4bucks Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Re: Realtree Turkey Team #7 Well guys, in a couple of hours I'll be South Florida bound to hunt the elusive Osceola turkey. I probably won't be on the forums for at least 10 days so best of luck to everyone and good hunting. Hold the fort down while I'm gone.

iabow Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Re: Realtree Turkey Team #7 Good hunting, nail a good one! I still have a month to wait, working on getting some new timber lined up that don't get touched for turkeys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iabow Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Re: Realtree Turkey Team #7 Well I got out to do some scouting on some land I have close to home to hunt. Things didn't look the best, I did find tracks and gobbler droppings before the rain hit but someone has been tearing the woods up with an atv . I'm glad I have more then one place to hunt. Good hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntn4bucks Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Realtree Turkey Team #7 It was very tough hunting down there but Dave and I managed to bring one Osceola home with us. Unfortunately for our team, Dave was the shooter. My season here in Alabama has been open since March 15th and I've yet to take a bird. The weather has been crazy around here lately. The temps yesterday morning were in the upper 20s! It's suppose to start warming up this week though. I'm going again in the morning so we'll see what happens.

iabow Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Realtree Turkey Team #7 Well glad to hear you had some success, are you going to have another opportunity to bag your Osceola for the slam? I know what your saying about the weather, but thankfully the forecast is looking up and I'm getting antsy. Good hunting everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntn4bucks Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Re: Realtree Turkey Team #7 iabow, The trip to Florida was the only one I had planned for Osceola turkeys. Better luck next year I guess. On a positive side, I scored on an Eastern this morning.

jcwa Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Re: Realtree Turkey Team #7 Way to go. I'll be heading out Tuesday for a 4 day hunt. Hopefully I will add another one to our score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iabow Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Re: Realtree Turkey Team #7 Way to go Tracy, very nice bird! That'll sure make you feel better, loved the story. Great part is you shot straight with all the drugs . Hope your doing better. Good hunting jcwa, I have to wait until the 10th . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwa Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Re: Realtree Turkey Team #7 He didn't have much for spurs, they were wore down from the rocky area. But we have one on the score card. I didn't have to do much to get this guy. I set my decoys out and went over and just sat down when he gobbled just over the hill, I let out a couple of yelps and he popped out. When he saw the decoys he came strait in. He got to with in 40yds and the wind spun both of the decoys around real fast and he spooked and started to leave. I shot him at 46yds.

Bow Hunter Derek Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Re: Realtree Turkey Team #7 Congrats on the birds guys. Our season opens two weeks from today. I think I'm going to take the day off work. Looking to take one with the bow this year. Then again, I say that every year and end up using the old 12 ga.

iabow Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Re: Realtree Turkey Team #7 Well this bites. I called the landowner of my bread and butter spot to let him know I was coming up Sunday. He said why don't you wait two weeks, so I asked why, he said cause a couple guys that gave him breaks on his new house are in there hunting and he wants them to have it to themselves. I guess I can't blame him but man I was counting on this place, everything has been setup for 7 months. So I'm sort of scrambling right now, I have a couple more options but none super. My scouting down the tube for now, on the bright side I learned something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bow Hunter Derek Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Re: Realtree Turkey Team #7 Congrats on the kill Joe. I've been out four times in five days of our season. I've seen a couple hens, but heard very few gobbles. I did have a couple gobblers hammering back at me last night at around 7:00. They were moving in through the woods and then some hens started cutting real hard and the gobblers moved one. Oh well, still early and the birds are very henned up right now.

iabow Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Re: Realtree Turkey Team #7 Congrats Joe! Well been putting in time here with nothing to show for it. I've been shut out of the turkey timber I've been hunting for the last couple years, the one I mentioned earlier. So I've had to go to plan c, plan b has been over taken with 4 wheelers trespassing. I must say I'm seeing birds but all 100 yds away in an open field. If I call they go the other way, even sweet and light talk (it's on the edge of a hard hunted public ground and private) and they are sticking with their lady friends. It's been very frustrating to say the lest and I had high hopes coming into the season. Well I'll probably be out all day tomorrow, so we'll see. I'll take about anything right now. Hope every one else is doing better, good hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bow Hunter Derek Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Re: Realtree Turkey Team #7 Wow, this is the most frustrated I've ever been as a turkey hunter. I've only ever been skunked one season and at least that season I shot at and missed one with the bow. I've yet to see even so much as a jake this year. I've only seen 3 hens in almost 2 weeks of hunting. I'm hearing gobbles, but they are way far away on properties I can't hunt. My honey hole spots are turning into dud spots this year. Only a few days left in our season. I'm hoping something develops in the coming days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
