Calling Gobblers In With Proven Older Callers
I just saw this new video on Utube with the above title. Not good with links-- but it was interesting. I have a feeling that some members here have some of the same callers shown. It is a short video of 8.47 min.

Re: What's Your Strangest Hunt?

Just one day there was like that. That was before co-workers who live near Clinton Road told me this road is featured...

HOW MANY SOUTHREN HUNTERS HERE WILL FINISH UP THEIR HUNTS UP NORTH THIS MAY?
Every year, I read about Turkey hunters starting out in the deep South -- but really not too much about where Turkey hunters will finish up. So , if you live in the South-- will you bag some Gobblers up North in May to finish your Season?

Re: THE NEW TURKEY HUNTERS
Don't know. I know, I have seen Spring hunters in a full out sprint to get to where that Tom is gobbling. They never see me. I never saw this in the 90s. I hike year round- so for myself, I try to get back a good 1 1/2 miles. A few Springs back, I biked on in on my Ranger Mountain bike and a guy sho...
