    Are turkeys getting harder to kill?

    I hunt an area where killing your 2 spring birds was relatively "easy". Across the road was a different county. Taking your third bird was as simple as crossing the road! After 2019, same area and you were lucky to find a track, much less see OR hear a turkey! I only have 3 or 4 spots I can hunt...

    The Old Man Finally Got Glasses - Need Recommendation

    Finally dropped the "cheaters" and got glasses 2 years ago. I have to pull them off shooting or using binoculars. First glasses were not progressives. Second pair were (are?) progressive. When I first got progressive lenses, they didn't get dark. I was mad! I showed the opticians. They put...

    Are turkeys getting harder to kill?

    Here in OK, we had an exceptional turkey population. The seasons opened at the best time and a spring bag limit of 3 was satisfactory. Last bird I killed was a fall 2019 bird. In 2019 i had shoulder surgery and a avian pox came through. I couldn't hunt, besides, that pox REALLY decimated the...

    Are turkeys getting harder to kill?

    As I understand it, some turkey "experts" claim that since the most vocal birds are called in and killed. The quieter, satellite birds seldom get shot and breed successfully. Therefore, quieter, less vocal gobblers are becoming the norm rather than exception.

    Are turkeys getting harder to kill?

    Had a neighbor buy a new truck with a big wide, chromed back bumper. A "terd of hurkeys" would walk across his driveway everyday and the gobbler would stop and fight his reflection in bumper! Turkeys are CRAZY! Are they getting harder to kill? Should we bring back the 8 gauge with a 1/2 pound...

    How many run a Winch on the truck

    One other thing I might suggest. Set up your truck to run off two batteries.

    Going back to college in your early 40s...sounds like a terrible idea...but Im considering it.

    Worked 10+ years at a job I didn't care ten cents about.....but it paid well enough to raise a family and buy a home. Been on disability since 2005. A little more money would make me a little happier, but we're doing OK. I can't complain.

    Hip Surgery this Thursday

    Car wreck in 1991. Hip finally gave up the ghost in 2005. In 2015, the surgeon who did the surgery was retiring and was at my last checkup. He told me the implant he used on me was developed by a Dr. McBride in OKC. Dr. McBride used the implant in a young lady in 1958. In 2015, the lady was...

    DO NOT PURCHASE FROM AERO PRECISION

    Sad to hear. I bought several AP items (pieces, parts) probably 15 years ago. The products were great and customer service superb. Shipping was reprehensible! ....but I believe it was beyond their control. I live in OK. Delivery from AP normally took almost 2 weeks after it traveled all over...

    Corner Crossing: Public Wins!

    Anything that has the BHA attached to it is always a bit suspect in my book. At my age and physical condition, I'm doing good to walk across my yard, much less strap on a backpack and wander off into the great out yonder. Though I've never been affected by the "Corner Crossing" debacle, I have...

    Locating Turkey

    IF you have the time, go set up pre-season, before daylight and listen for turkeys gobbling off the roost. NOTE: You don't want to set up UNDER a roost! I did! One time! First gobble rattled me at it's proximity! Next! It started "raining" turkeys! I was scared witless to breathe, much less...

    Gobbler Guide

    Many moons back, I bought a Knight & Hale call at WalMart. This little "Gobbler Guide" was included. Thinking most of these "guides" are just so much flap-doodle, I sat down and read it. WOW! So much that I had seen was explained and what I couldn't understand was revealed. I called Knight &...

    Do you eat breakfast?

    My mother was German and my paternal grandmother was a good southern girl from Selma, AL. She could make a biscuit that would melt in your mouth.
