Spring turkey results


Recommended Posts

Congrats river-newbie. My dad did a little scouting for me this morning and had a jake and smallish tom gobblin their fool heads off. Think I'll hit a different farm on Wed for my opener. Landowner there had been seeing lots of birds several weeks ago, not sure about now. Guess I'll find out. Gonna double check the 870 tonight after work.

WOW, good job Cooter, you've had a good week!

My season starts Wed. also. Getting pretty excited about that. Got some serious making up to do after my MN hunt. blush

There were a lot of birds again this year where we hunted - plus we've been there long enough to know the basic patterns so we should be able to consistently kill birds. However we certainly didn't kill any of the bigger 3 year old birds that were in the area. Not complaining, its tough to be picky when you have 3 tags to fill in 4 days.

Can't believe how thick and green the woods are already - its easily 2 weeks ahead of the norm.

Good luck with the sconnie tag.

My dad was out this morning - heard a few and had a tough time pinpointing them with the wind. Don't think he ever laid eyes on one, not even a hen. He's heading back out bright and early tomorrow - Fri doesn't look like very nice hunting weather so he's hoping to seal the deal in the morning.

Just got back from my WS hunt. Saw plenty of hens, lots of nice toms and very few jakes. Not sure what to think of that. My buddy took a 25 pounder first morning. Got mine just this morning. 22 lbs.

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
