I agree. There is a wealth of knowledge held close at heart by the members of ALdeer. Experience, tips and tactics that would benefit many members and allow them to become more successful hunters. But, I'm reminded of PCP's the read about posting pics and stories of successful big deer harvests, probably ain't gonna happen. The most we will get is a question posted by A7F, if a bird falls shot off the limb, will anybody hear it?

I agree with original post all folks want to talk about is TSS and patterns.

Depends on the bird, but there's plenty of times where I get a bird shonuff fired up while he's on the limb, then go quiet.

Depends on the camo pattern I am wearing. If it's Obsession, I just walk right up to the tree and shoot him as soon as his feet leave the branch. No calling even necessary.


Yeah, well, I always heard there were three kinds of suns in Kansas: sunshine, sunflowers, and sons-of-bitches.

Everyone is saying the right things now, but how many of you are just playing follow the leader and how many had to learn the hard way? I never had anyone teach me how to turkey hunt. I went a few times with high school friends that could call, but they didn’t know jack about turkey hunting. I spent a lot of years yelping at them bastards up in a tree. It’s hard not too, when you don’t know any better and that thing keeps gobbling at every noise you make. You just know he’s gonna land in your lap any second....only to see he likes the other direction 99% of the time. Heck, I’ve done the same thing on the ground a bunch, over calling till they disappear. I’ve also been on birds 100 times where they go silent, I get impatient or bored and get up to move on and get to hear a putting turkey hauling arse out of there. So BrentM, there is another topic... how many will admit that they can’t shut up or be patient? I don’t know how many turkeys I’ve killed, but I would guess it is somewhere around 150. It helps a bunch when you get to travel to several states where you can stack them up quick. But even with a fair number of birds killed, I will continue to make a lot of the same mistakes over and over again. But yelping at them in a tree for 2 hours, isn’t one of them. I’ll just belly crawl closer with a fan and limb launch him with some TSS! grin

I've lost the battle more times than I'd like to admit. My father was big deer hunter so I wasn't introduced to turkey hunting until my early teens. I've learned everything I know the hard way with a few tips from folks here and there. To me that's what so neat about turkey hunting. I can give you all the tips you need but most situational stuff can't be taught. You either luck up or learn the hard way. I love it.

The main reason this forum has changed I think is when someone gets on here and asks a question, everybody’s answer is “look at the sticky at the top”. Delete that thread and i think some discussion would return. Or just edit it to say “you must have a 50/50 pattern with tss, corn is not legal within 20 miles of you, and decoys work all the time, sometimes”. That may just shut it down totally.

I'll admit to being impatient. Never been worth a damn at deer hunting them. I move until I strike one. Now, once I've been answered a single time, I can sit for hours if need be.

As for calling to them in a tree. I think people let a lot of killable birds walk off by taking the "no calling to a bird on the roost" "don't overcall" tips, to an extreme. There's a difference between aggressive calling and over calling. There's times to be silent, and there's times to throw the kitchen sink at them. There's never a time to call constantly over extended periods of time.

Even though I killed one last year, I have realized that I don't know much about turkey hunting, and how to do it right.

Great post...I never even got invited by friends and had to learn what turkeys sounded like listening to a Ben Rogers Lee Cassette...Heck, the first couple of times I tried to blow a mouth call, I had the diaphragm backwards and no wonder I couldn't get a sound out! I have ruined too many hunts to count and even walked off on the first bird I called in that was drumming because I didn't know what that sound was and thought the bird had left! Patience is the number one thing I have had to work on and more birds are being called in/killed due to becoming more patient, using less calling, and learning better set up strategies. I do like to give a lil tree yelp to one on roost, but I hunt super aggressively and have no problem slipping as close as I can to the roost...If he gobbles at that, I'll put the call down...I may do a flydown just with my hat and no call sometimes, and sometimes I'll even do a cackle with it...It varies on how I read the birds to be acting/their mood...Like you said, I ain't gonna sit there and yelp for 2 hours with em in a tree just to hear them!

“Pushover private land birds” hahahaha, I’m in 3 different hunting clubs, private leased land. Each club has a few dedicated turkey killers. Trust me, they aren’t pushovers.
