Turkey Number 5
you just can’t hardly beat spring turkey hunting!
It’s Turkey Time!
It was an incredible morning. The birds talked great and we ended up getting a great video of his bird as it came in strutting and gobbling. Congrats Bryan on an awesome turkey! Below is the video from this morning’s hunt – Enjoy!
Where Would You Hunt? (If you had to pick one ;-)
I moved to southwest Missouri a few years ago, so I was starting from scratch on finding private hunting ground. You can drive around, but with gas prices and being unfamiliar with the area, that just didn’t seem extremely practical. So I decided to check out my area from a bird’s eye view. I simply got onto google earth and within no time I had picked 6-7 properties that looked like great deer/turkey habitat.

Turkey with Dad

Video – Scouting Report 4/18/09
I only wished it was Monday!! It was a great morning to be out! I got lucky and ended standing within 70yrds of this bird waiting for something to Gobble. I hooted and couldn’t believe one was so close! A good lesson from this morning was this. Many times we’ll put a gobbler to roost […]
