Wallydog Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I wish I could use my crossbow in ID,OR or WA.....but cannot. Guess I should have read the regs before pulling the trigger on a nice setup! I start this weekend in SW ID mentoring a youth hunter along the flooding Boise River then off to the Clearwater country 4/13 with my uncle (from St Cloud) who has never hunted turkeys. Then another youth weekend prior to my departure for the Black Hills for some pure marked Merriams 4/26. Good luck to everyone and be safe.

Popular Post Wallydog Posted April 10, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2017 Youth opener was a challenge this year due to flooding along the Boise River system. Roosts are flooded, fields are flooded, traditional hunting spots inaccessible, displaced birds........But I told Nic that patience kills turkeys....and after a blind move at 1 pm the opportunity availed itself at 4:45 and he made a great shot after a great show of 2 longbeads kicking the dickens out of my strutter. They 2 walked for 100 + yards thru 3-6" of water in a flooded winter wheat field to lay that whooping on the strutter. I reckon these river birds have morphed into swamp turkey with all the water around! Borch, monstermoose78, leech~~ and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monstermoose78 Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Congrats on the big turkey! Went to set up the blind and the turkeys were strutting just in front of where I want my blind. So I waited for them to move off. I had to dig my phone out and most of them were in the trees leech~~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monstermoose78 Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Well guys I am happy I punched my tag on tasty jake, but for points it will not be much help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstermoose78 Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Had a group of 5 jakes come on while was watching the bean field. I head a noise to see the jakes knocking the snot out of my decoy. I grabbed the crossbow settled the cross hairs on the center of his back when he turned and bingo jake down. He flopped a little so readied another bolt just encase. No need but I was not letting this one get away. I know it is not going add much of a score but my focus now is on my nephew, @river rat316 and my old man. Best of luck team! leech~~, walleyehunter02 and Borch 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
