OT: WNY spring turkey season

[Jacwil]

Shabbadabbadingdong! Ordered some new mouth calls yesterday!

Anyone going out Sunday?

 

[Capt_Cully]

Oh you dirty son of a...... I knew someone was gonna bring it up.
I'm grounded this year. Wife is due with our second AND FINAL kid anyday. Didn't bother scouting cause I know I won't get out. I'm concentrating on lobbying for treestand time this fall. Its come down to bargaining. Its pathetic.

Good luck with the dirty birds this spring fellers!

 

[Jacwil]

Aw man! Understandable though of course. Well continue lobbying so you can get a few a.m's and p.m's in the fall

 

[low riderr]

make shure you get time for deer season.

 

[acdraindrps]

No other place I'd rather be than in the woods before sun up, no matter what's in season!

 

[Jacwil]

I hear that! I'm concerned that I've seen Tom's strutting around extra early this year...hopefully they're still "interested."

 

[block head]

birds are acting funny, i had a big blonde coyote trot past while sighting in a friends new rifle. 4 guys were shooting in an open field. it came running up like it was a pet and stopped at 50 yds. i' m going to try a spot or two sunday. woodcock numbers have been really high this year. willing to trade coral for hunts

 

[Jacwil]

Coral for hunts??? Hmmmm. Our fam property is only 20 acres but it always holds turkey. I'll ponder that offer lol.

[Jacwil]

Hey congrats to you and your boy! That's awesome!

 

[Capt_Cully]

Wow! Congrats. Always rewarding to see the youngsters getting involved.

 

[Jacwil]

Our 4 yr old daughter TOLD me she was going with me Sunday lol. I told her it was going to be pitch black and probably buggy. She said "That's ok, we have flashlights and camomage!" lol...gotta love it!

 

[Capt_Cully]

Wife's getting induced on Friday, my hunt'n partner will be here soon. I'd be super psyched if my daughter got into it too! Justin, I don't see how you can turn down a decree like that.

 

[Jacwil]

Wow Mark! Exciiiiting!!!!

Yea we'll see...I'm thinking I'll hunt 'til 9 or so and then maybe come back in for her and then back into woods.

'Nuff said on that lol

 

[Jacwil]

Good luck everyone!

Well my first hunt of the spring turkey season lasted about ten minutes.

I left it up to my buddy to get us turkey loads yesterday. This morning at 4 30am we drove about 40 minutes to our hunting spot. We went our separate ways. I walked back to my spot, got all set up, sat down, went to chamber a round... didn't fit.

He bought 10 gauge shells. 3.5" at that, which both of our 12g shotguns are only sleeved for 3".

I blame myself. Should have taken care of my own gear. Oh well, we got all month.

Good luck guys.

 

[Capt_Cully]

Oh man! I'm living through you guys this go round. That hurts me too Chris!

 

[Jacwil]

Chris that's insane man!!! Huge bummer!!!

Heard some distant gobbles but saw nothing but deer and squirrels. Still a beautiful morning though!

i went saturday looking for woodcock(without a gun). both dogs lock up on point in some of thickest brush you can imagine. i walk in ,and two big gobblers snuck out the back door. maybe 10 feet from me. didn't make it out today. don't feel bad chris , i did the same thing on a guided hunt. the outfitter saved the day with old target load that he had rolling around in his pick um up truck. shot my best turkey with a single 7.5 shell.
