Buckslayer Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Re: TURKEY TEAM #24 Guys I have some bad news. I have never shot a spring gobbler... I have shot a jake and 2 hens in the fall, all with my bow though. In the spring a few years back I called in two jakes but passed them up and never got lucky again. I have found that birds get call shy really quick around west central PA every spring. Each year I generally call to maybe 20 toms, but usually they are henned up and shut-up...so they don't come in at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stick Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Re: TURKEY TEAM #24 Hey Busckslayer, I have always found that when the toms are henned-up in the morning that they usually leave there hens late in the afternoon, and will then come in to a call,two of the three that I got last year were around two in the afternoon, and I had chased them all day and then all of a sudden they came right in.

Buckslayer Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Re: TURKEY TEAM #24 Yeah we see them out all the time, alone, in the afternoons --- but we can only hunt from dawn til noon during the spring season... Otherwise I woulda just set up in a feeding area (which I still may try) and wait like hunting for deer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stick Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Re: TURKEY TEAM #24 man I am sorry to hear about the hunting restrictions there I think that you ought to get extra points for only hunting half of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] when they arent breakin up till late in the afternoon i usually just try and pattern them like huntin fall birds. find out where they r flyin down after the roost, usually to a strut zone or feeding area, and just try and intercept them. the hens will usually take them away if u do much callin so just sit and wait for em and see what happens. i tooke a bird using this strategy a few years back when they would not come to ne calls. another strategy would be to try and use a jake call or a kee-kee run if ur dealing witha mature,dominant gobbler. if he knows there is a young jake in the are, **** break from the hens and come stormin in to investigate. just my 2 cents, good luck to ya buck, as well as the rest of the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stick Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Re: TURKEY TEAM #24 Man I just got in from patterning my new stoeger 2000 turkey, and as I now have a Ice pak on my shoulder I am ready for the woods. At 40yds it put 36 holes in the turkeys head and neck. I am pumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullfan Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Re: TURKEY TEAM #24 Aww man I just want to forget that ... Okay here is the story one more time. I set up on this bird and he was gobbling good, then for an hour nothing. My set up was not the best due to a small tree just to my left. This bird came sneeking in from my left. As he went behind a tree I had to move my gun around this tree. In doing so I also had to lean back and to the left. This put the stock of my gun off my shoulder. I shoot a Super X-2 with a scope and the Nirto loads. First shot cut my fore head, the second broke my nose. I killed this bird 4 days later. And he had 1.50" spurs.
