RE: Turkey Hunting Sayings
 

"Now where's my pen."

So I can fill out that tag!;)

RE: Turkey Hunting Sayings
 

There he is!!!

RE: Turkey Hunting Sayings
 

Hey stick your head up BOOM..... Now thats what Im talking about

RE: Turkey Hunting Sayings
 

I like stories that start out.... "Well it was about 9am and I was asleep...."

RE: Turkey Hunting Sayings
 

I can't take credit for this one, but it is cool nonetheless. I know a guy that would get a bird locked up in a strut and to get him to poke his head up he would say "Good Mornin'". The bird would snap his head up and the game was over.

RE: Turkey Hunting Sayings
 

You got to be kidding me. Anyone who hunts turkeys should know this mans name! He was one of the originals...To bad he's gone.

RE: Turkey Hunting Sayings
 

LOL.... I think thats funny.

RE: Turkey Hunting Sayings
 

Use to listen to his live cassettes quite a bit,he sure made a fine trough call too.I also remeber Ben on the Tonight show with Johnny Carson.True icon on hunting and calling turkeys....
Oh to stay on topic here"if these birds could smell you'd never kill one"!!

RE: Turkey Hunting Sayings
 

Oh yeah I remember Ben Lee. I have one VCR tape of his here and I still watch it. The title Ben Lee and friends. Its a turkey hunting video. It has Terry Rohm and Don Bell in the video as well. Great VCR tape. hehehehe Its old but good. Ok I remember one saying after Terry Rohm shot one. Ben Lee running thru the woods telling Terry get to him get to him. It stands out in my mind when I shoot a turkey. Its too bad he had to die, cause I loved his videos... I think I'll watch the video shortly. hehehehe

RE: Turkey Hunting Sayings
 

Man, I sure miss watching Ben Lee. He wasa true icon to me & my buddies (being we're Bama boys). He made some of the most entertaining videos I've ever seen. That deep southern drawl was the best. The one video that sticks out in my mind was "Ben Lee's - hunting the rut".

RE: Turkey Hunting Sayings
 

Got a few of his video's... I think that guy just plain lived with the turkeys

RE: Turkey Hunting Sayings
 

I loved that video.

RE: Turkey Hunting Sayings
 

Did you see that shot!

RE: Turkey Hunting Sayings
 

I am impressed - didn't think most of you guys are as old as me and yes True Great Turkey hunting legends are not forgotten....RIP Ben!

Now to get back tothe original post -

I put the Smack down on him!

RE: Turkey Hunting Sayings
 

Tell em' you love em' and Thank ya dear lord and He's good enuff to ride in Eddie Salters truck. even on a bad day Eddie leaves the woods with a sence of acomplishment.:D

RE: Turkey Hunting Sayings
 

I only shoot long beards....but the most often heard saying around here, if you shoot a jake is.

"A jake in the hand is better than a tom in the bush!"

RE: Turkey Hunting Sayings
 

"If the lead ain't flyin, the meat ain't fryin"

"Man, ain't that a dandy rooster"

RE: Turkey Hunting Sayings
 

One of the guys from the Double Bull videos says this...it's an archery saying.."That bird is DRT...Dead Right There"

RE: Turkey Hunting Sayings
 

That's a Tig ol' Burkey

RE: Turkey Hunting Sayings
 

"He got so close to me.....I could smell the grasshoppers on his breath."

RE: Turkey Hunting Sayings
 

One of the best turkey hunts I've seen was a Hunter's Journal episode. A tom came onto a stuffer decoy and wouldn't leave it alone. He was flogging away at it. When the guys in the blind yelled at him "Hey get off that decoy", he'd just turn a gobble back at them, mount the decoy, they yelled again "Hey stop that" he gobbled back...it went like that for 3-4 times, thenwhen he finally stuck his head up...BOOM and then this phrase...
"Yeah how 'bout that!Get yousome of that.."

Another phrase, from a t-shirt, I like is " Gobbler Madness, there is no cure."

RE: Turkey Hunting Sayings
 

another one I like is "Roosted Ain't Roasted"

RE: Turkey Hunting Sayings
 

That turkey plop sonny is a hen - Toms lay a "J"!

RE: Turkey Hunting Sayings
 

"Some Men Are Hunters...Others Are Turkey Hunters" Cant take credit for that one its on the start of a mossy oak video i got called facts and feathers

Just a little closer....Just a little closer.....Just a little closer......

LOL These were a lot of fun to read!!! :) Thanks for starting the post!

Whenever we kill something - it becomes part of our "traveling team" ;) My brother's went to S. Dakota last week with some buddies. They LOVED it - going back next week if they can. Said they saw flocks of 40-50 turks. I got a message from my brother on their way home "Got 7 big toms to join our traveling team!" :) :) :) NICE!!!
