Spring Gobbler hunting with a bow.

I love bow hunting and turkey was just another option. But there is something satisfying about shooting those things in the face with a gun. A .410 with TSS sits them down.

Archery hunting with them is super fun to me. I’ve killed plenty running and gunning but there’s something satisfying hunting them like deer and calling to things that respond much more than deer that you don’t have to worry about wind direction.

With a turkey, you just gotta worry about 18 pounds of eyeballs...LOL --- Okay, less with a hen.

"So I got that goin' for me, which is nice..."


I've always said that if turkeys had any sense of smell, no one would ever kill one.

I think that pea size brain matters more than eyeballs. Not even a turkey knows what it’s going to do until after he does it. That’s why they are so hard to kill.

There is some truth to that. But I've also seen turkeys be predictable on occasion, which isn't the exact same thing as them knowing what they are going to do, but it's close enough.

Food and sex are on their pea brains in the spring, and security if they've been boogered. Of course, they're on their own schedule ("turkey time") which makes them seem not deliberate. But ultimately they "know" what they're doing.


Hmmm ... That reminds me of the famous line from Cool Hand Luke .... LOL

If they know what they are doing, they sure do change their mind a lot. They change their mind more than my 8 yr old in a toy store with $50 in his pocket.

Lucille!....

Both my hen dekes are named Lucille... Squatting or upright.


Buy them a drink ... It's a racket, but it's the price of admission.

LOL
