Turkey blues
 

Any of you guys feel like you' ve lost your best freind since turkey season went out? I have been praying for april to hurry up and come seems like the months are getting longer and april is getting farther away. I could almost swear I saw a long beard stick his tongue out at me the other day cause the season was out and he knew he was safe! Anyway let me know if any of you have the blues!!!!!!!!!!

yup

RE: Turkey blues
 

you can still hunt them....just with a camera:D

If you only knew....I' ve been hunting these birds going on my fourth year next spring with no success. I can' t wait to get back out there to hopefully redeem myself. I' ve put in for a special permit to hunt this fall. As bad as I want a tom I think I will be planning on trying to harvest a hen to try to thin them out by one. Just doing my part for management I guess. It was especially tough this past spring because opening week it rained and rained.

I sure wish we had a fall season ,They are fun to hunt in the fall aswell...BT

RE: Turkey blues
 

You better believe it! But the fall season is only about 11 weeks away, although it' s not quite the thrill for me as the spring season. It also coincides with the whitetail bow season so it' s always hard to think turkey especially if I' m seeing a lot of deer. So much to do.....so little time to do it in!!:D

RE: Turkey blues
 

Pfffttttttttttt..... We do have a fall season, so anyone interested in coming to PA to hunt them let me know. Ev1 but Adrian, He bends people' s barrels that he hunts with. :D

RE: Turkey blues
 

:D@ Pat,Good one bud.Fall season can' t be to much fun for Adrian.H eclimbs into a tree stand and before he has his bow pulled up he has a buck under him so he shoots it and less than 1 1/2 hour later he shoots a turkey.This includes the time it took to clean the buck and haul it back to my house.$101 to hunt for 1 1/2 hours can' t be much fun.:D

RE: Turkey blues
 

Jalvja, Adrain has to do it that way. He can' t hack the terrain;). He' ll have it harder the next time with the point restriction. We' ll have to see if he can count that high:D

:DFalls not far,and between little league and football starting tommorrow for my boys,the time passes pretty quick for me!I spent the night on Shasta Lake last night catfishing and as that slow glow of sun-up approached I still find myself with one ear listening for that faint early morning gobble even though I know its not going to happen!!;)

RE: Turkey blues
 

I do, especially after bagging a big one finally,but it helps that my Elk hunt to Montana is only 52 days and a wake up away:D I can gear up and gear down for a specific game I' m pursuing. THe Turkey bug won' t hit me too bad untli Chirstmas.
