Default Turkeys we have named

Lets hear it. What names have you given to turkeys and why?Example: Last season i called up a tom with a respectable 10inch beard or so, but it was so thin that i let him pass. I named him- ole shoelace.What names have you given?

I had one last year that was roosting on the edge of a sand pit right next to a county forest road.Opening morning we came in on the backside and ended up right under some hens that were roosted there.After they all flew down into the pit the tom flew down there to.We could really get him fired up with some jake gobbles and hen yelping.He would be out by the road and come to the back of the pit and gobble at us.I belly crawled up to the edge of the pit and needed him to make one more run to the back of the pit but it never happened. The hens marched down the road with the tom following.I ended up filling my tag that afternoon on a different tom and never went back.We named him the PIT BOSS and I hope to meet up with him again this spring.I heard that the county put a fence up around the pit so I will have to scout it out and come up with a plan.

I named one the Junk Ditch Turkey once because he roosted not far from a ditch along the road where inconsiderate people dump there no longer needed belongings. I never had any luck with him but my nephew killed a gobbler the first week of the season last year not very far from his roosting area and I wonder if it wasn' t the Old Junk Ditch Gobbler. Guess I will find out soon, I' m going out in the morning to listen for gobbles at daybreak. I hope he is still around, only a year older and a little wiser!

One that stands out we called " split top" . He was missing one tail feather in the middle and when he was in full strut... you get the idea. My hunting partner tipped him over at 30 yards with 10 minutes to spare before hunting ended for the day.
What a great hunt.
