Heavy Hunted Public Land

Post by Gobbler »

Heres a Tip. I'm not kidding.

IF you can roost a Gobbler (watch him fly up) Just go in there around 2AM and scare him off the roost. Go home and sleep in. Get up and have breakfeast. Go back around 930Am to his tree and set up and call. He will be heading there around mid morning to find out where his hens are.

If a gobbler comes in to your call make sure he is the same one you scared off at 2AM. If he is not let him go and keep waiting. You don't want to educate the bird you scared off.

Disclaimer: gobblerD is not a very good turkey hunter and sometimes his tips can cause long lonely seasons with no results. If you try this tip, you do so at your own risk.

:D Don't even go there on my recommendation on any of your advice. After "Jakes don't gobble in Florida", I'm taking your advice with a grain of salt. LOL.

Forgive my ignorance on this turkey hunting stuff but i have a question. While your there at 2 a.m. why not just go ahead and shoot him off the limb, then around 9:30 a.m. go to the waffle house?

I don't know about your rules in Fl., but in Wi., if you shoot a gobbler off the roost, you must wait 24 hrs. before entering a waffle house. It's only right..Mike :dontknow:
May I assume you're not here to inquire about the alcohol or the tobacco?

Kinda suprised that you didn't have a recommendation from guesswho on there because without it the others mean nothing. How do I set up my blind at 2 am isn't it too dark out?

I prefer not to use a blind at that time of night, but just slip a decoy on my head and ease in to gun range. They think it's a hen and let you get real close as long as you don't turn on the light till you're ready to shoot.

While your at it, just spot the deer over your feeder with the same floodlamp you are looking at the turkey with. Just don't forget your deer rifle.
Now, that'll put some meat in the freezer! :thumbup:

Or..If it is a gobbler with a mega length beard, you can cut it off so it looks like a jake. That's what we're hunting for.... :turkeywave: :toothy7:

Gobbler

This tactic works perfect on longbeards but you cannot go against the GN ethic rule. I remember when you ask me to join this great site that you clearly stated that no longbeards would be hurt during the 2012 season. Now you're trying to renig on everything you had put in the GN bylaws. If you are going to live up to being a JAKE SLAYER then you gotta play by the rules.



When I see you in Nashville you best be wearing the GN Jakeslayer T-Shirt or you could be banned from your own website. :thumbup:
