I ain't big on turkey hunting, maybe it's because I've never really done it. Anyways…I was just out walking around the woods here at my place and hens were sounding like spring!

Good that is just another guy in the spring woods Im not competing with LOL. I KID!
Congrats on finishing strong in bow season, I enjoyed following along with your ups and downs this season.

Never done it. Every year I say this is the year I give it a shot. So I will say it again. I am going to try it out this year. Now all I have to do is to learn how. Lol
You and Giles need to give it a shot, its frustrating but very rewarding to be in the spring woods.

Thanks man. It seems the last couple of years someone has told me they'd take me out and show me, has yet to happen. Lol. I like having a couple around the house, they are cool to listen to. Waking up hearing them is pretty cool and will ease anyone's mind.

ive got to places with bearded hens my goal is to shoot one of them over shooting a tom, one is a real hag and every time shes around and i call she responds and cuts the toms off. shes prolly the most vocal hen ive ever heard. anyone else on here ever kill a bearded hen.

K walked by the table tonight and snaps to attention. "Hey, what's this?" Told her Cabelas sent us a new magazine so we could shop for turkey hunting stuff. She asked if she could look at it, so I gave her a pen and told her to cicle what she thought we needed. First page... "Well, I need a turkey call cause I don't have one." Circles Zink Nite Owl locator call. Flips to decoys and circles hen decoy... "we need this so the turkeys don't know we're hunting them." A minute of silence, then: "Hey dad, you think we need a new turkey tent to hide from them turkeys?" Sure pal, whatever you think...
