Who's Ready for Turkey ??
 

Come on, can I be the only one who is ready for Turkey ?

Good time to scout around. :D

RE: Who's Ready for Turkey ??
 

I'm definately in, just bought another pair of dekes and pulled out the old x-bow cause I can't shoot the compound from inside my blind.
Now its just a waiting game.

RE: Who's Ready for Turkey ??
 

oh yeah, excellent....Itreated myself to some new gear too...I use a cross bow as well as my 12 gauge from the ground blind...very comfortable, in fact so comfortable I sometimes grab some ZZZzz's....LOL

I start practicing my calls to help pass the time, will be scouting this weekend when we go tap some maples...I am loving this warmer weather...Here turkey turkey turkey...>!:D

RE: Who's Ready for Turkey ??
 

I was scouting for sheds last weekend and my second boy and I saw 32 turkeys come up the moutain and walk right past us as we set in a small spruce growth. One at a time they came up and hopped over the a stone wall - one at a time, on the same stone - not 20 yards from where we sat. This gave us a such a turkey show we can't wait for opening day here and we have the perfect spot picked out to wait for 'em.

now that is something to be waiting anxiously for, awesome moment in time to seem them do that. I bet your son will never forget that...!

I'm heading up tonight to get ready for opener Tues morning in southern Ontario. Hopefully I'll have some pics to share in a weeks time.

Opens on May 1 in Vermont. I have a ton of birds here on the island but I usually go to the middle of the state for a few days to be with a couple of buddys at turkey camp. All the gear is set but I just bought a box of the new Federal flight control shells and want to compare with my standard load which is Winchester #5s

OH YA MAN, I AM PUMPED
Just got me my new shotgun last thursday ( remington 870 super magnum ) Heading out right now to get me a new hen decoy,my camo is all packed up and ready to go.Hopefully I will put one down on the ground.If I do then I will likely go after another with my bow.
Buddy and I are heading out late this after noon and try to locate the turkeys and see where they are roosting.Be there first thing in the morn and get them as they are coming out of their trees.
My buddy and I are going to be hunting together on the same property but far enough away from each other we will get our own.He has never shot one either.We are both still REAL new at this and are learning new things everyday.
I would like to say thank you to everyone on the board for sharing their tips and tricks for us new TURKEY hunters.This will be a good year for sure and hopefully I will have a pic of me and my 30 lb tom with his 15 inch beard to share with all of you's ----lol---:D

I'm tagged out, any other canucks get a turkey?

RE: Who's Ready for Turkey ??
 

Tagged out as well. Great year. Bagged a double with a guy from Ohio on day 2 then called in a nice longbeard on May 6th. Called in 2 more longbeards for other hunters over the next couple hunts and then ended with a dandy hunt calling in a guys first and 40 mins later a longbeard to tag out another friend. 7 kills in Ontario and tons of action!

Here's a few shots of the season:

The first double


my longbeard


buddy's longbeard


The end of season double.

Good lookin birds OntElk, that 1st pic reminds me of alot of the Simcoe County forest land, where abouts are you in Ontario.
I hunt my turkeys near Orrilia, but usually head east for deer.

RE: Who's Ready for Turkey ??
 

Ya I know the forest. Actually it is a small parcel that the landowner planted himself just south of Cambridge. My other bird is from North of Kingston in the Rideau Lakes area and the other kills are Grand River birds from south of Cambrdige as well.

RE: Who's Ready for Turkey ??
 

Steve , that second pic is the best pic I've seen in a while. Thats worth blowing up. I like that hat so much I got one now :D ...BT

RE: Who's Ready for Turkey ??

You take care of that hat! I'm comin' for my lucky charm! :D
