Joel, how do you camo up your camcorder? I was thinking of using one of my old masks, using the eye hole for the lens. I don't think my fiance would like it if I camo-duct taped it up.....

[Hotspotter]

Fiance huh?

Tape it up. This will be just one in a string of many turkey hunting-related disappointments in your many years together, so it won't seem like such a big deal years down the road. You'll look back at this later and laugh. She won't, but you will

In all seriousness, I'm not a big filmer of turkey hunts. People get angry with me for dropping the camera when a tom comes into range or not following it. Unless I'm in a blind, if I think there is any chance whatsoever of that bird busting us because of my movements, camera noise, whatever, I'll simply quit filming so we can kill the turkey.

Might want to ask someone else here that does more filming. At the same time, I'm not a big fan of the covers. Invariably, they will end up on the edge of your screen and/or partially covering your lens. I suppose if you taped it tight around the edge it might work?

The no-mar camo gun tape comes off easy enough, I'd go ahead and test that stuff on the underside, see how well it peels off. Or just go for it, that's probably the route I'd take. If it doesn't come off, you have a much more distinctive camera that people will pay attention to for easier filming.

I'm telling her "this is what Joel does" tonight when I get home

I think I will test it on the underside and see how that works, and if it comes of neatly I'll go for it.

Thanks!

Dudes with the litteraly 100's of birds I have taken in my lifetime, I dont need any luck or any mojo.. I took my team to victory last year, and I highly doubt anybody will stop me from doing so again this year. I am quite possibly the best turkey killin machine to ever walk the crust of the earth. World domination is my goal!

I hope anyone that reads this understands that I have yet to kill one of these stupid birds, and that this was said in joke

LOL, that's the attitude Deitz!!! With that attitude you won't even have to carry a weapon or call into the woods. Just a few mouth yelps and the ol' boss of the woods with 5 10" beards, 2" spurs, and 30 lbs on the hoof will waddle right up to you and fall over dead in your lap from fear of you being in his area!!!

I'm planning on being in my same spot as last year where I had 3 misses w/ a nice tom. I'm planning on him still being there, coming in that first morning to about 10 yards, and impaling himself on my arrow that I'm gonna stick out by the hen decoy, nock down!!! Yep that's how it gonna go down on May 7th! Then again if he's still there, he'll probably walk by out of range and laugh him self to death seeing my blind and decoys. Either way, he's mine!!!! Hopefully!

Yep... thats what I am talking about... Old Big Beard will walk up to me put the shot gun to his own head and pull the trigger with one of his 4" long spurs...Just so, when he meets his maker.. he can say, I was taken by Deitz~

[Scott M]

4 beards? You've instantly become the frontrunning team.
