>>>TSS is really cheating.<<

Ain't that what n2deer shoots? Poor turkeys have no chance with you guys after them.

Don't try to use redirection to get out of this one, I know you have a stockpile of TSS the size of a 18 wheeler. I bet you even store it in a double bull blind next to your chufa patches

Yekrut, you are gonna give the Doc the wrong idea about me. OK, there might be a few rounds of TSS at my house, but I only use it for cleaner kills on those 15 yd shots I take.

And I don't even own a double bull blind.

And as for the chufas, I seem to have better hunting in years when the chufas don't make. Last year I had a complete failure of the chufas, and knocked out a limit pretty quick. The year before I had so many chufas the turkeys couldn't eat all of them, but they still cleared out about March 1 and I struggled mightily to get a limit. Chufas just feed the turkeys thru the winter and keep them in a safe place. I mainly enjoy the challenge of growing them.

But I'm no idiot about it; if the turkey gobbles in the chufa patch, that's where I'm headed.

Easy on Doc Yekrut ive known him my whole life. He's from the old school as my dad and most all of the older men around selma. They have killed more turkeys than most anyone around these days and killed them mostly before all of this modern technology we have today. heck my dad still says im nuts for shooting a 3.5 but thats his opinion. I know what Lee is saying about his land and we all have chufa patches down there. They arent blessed with the row crop and hardwoods like we have up here and have to maximize resources amongst all the pines now. He's just trying to figure out some weed problems and im gonna help if i can.

I would like to apologize to anyone that has known you their whole life. Lee must be a really good guy. I think I need to see some of these places ya'll are talking about the around the first week of the season this year just to make sure what we are talking about.

I was just ribbing him, I don't have a problem with food plots, 10 gauges, chufa, 3.5's, TSS, or killing hens in the fall. I have done them all but the chufa and TSS and I still have to time to do both before I die.

Its about time for you to make it rain again!!!! I mean last time we talked about it, it rained for two days. Belle Mina's gonna get tough if we dont.

I'll see what I can do.

You happy now? I got 2 showers here at the house this evening.

I'm not a saint , either. I had one old gobbler that stayed in a chufa patch that I passed each day coming back from hunting. I would try to call him down this road out of the chufa patch, but as soon as I called, he would run away out of the patch. Toward the end of the season I had had enough. I slipped around to the edge and shot his sorry butt. I even felt good about it. LOL

I can take good natured ribbing as good as anybody. Lets all have fun while turkey hunting and talking about it.

I've been turkey hunting a little over 50 years. I have killed turkeys just about any way you can kill them, but Calling one up is still the ultimate challenge and thrill.

I know this vet in Selma that probably kills nearly all (of the few he kills) out of chufa patches. The few others are killed at night out of roost trees on the neighbors land. He has also hunted around 50 yrs and owns land in south Dallas co. I am sure it is not you though Welcome to the site, hope you got a kevlar vest

Thank God they are blessed with pines, fire, and more turkeys than most of the rest of state though.

I wouldn't have any idea who that is. I would never hunt turkey at night LOL

I ain't never seen nothing like the turkeys in the pine belt. What's up with the pine comment?

Standard "pines are destroying our wildlife, hardwoods are optimum" comment?

Yeah, I wonder if these people are aware of the extensive longleaf forest and abundant wildlife that inhabited the south a couple hundred years ago?

NO
