easy way to kill turkey

[yazoo]

first leave call at home,,pattern them like deer spend your time in the woods,,we hunt mostly evenings,,,,I have been guideing for years,, most of our birds are killed 4 to 6 in the evening,,especally early season no calling,,ambush ,,,,,turkeys were gobbling good this morning here in east tn,, if you just like to here them gobble take a crow call,,,,I dont even carry crow call any more,, the crows hollar every morning anyway,,

You could just make a cow decoy and walk right up to them and shoot 'em    They ain't scared of cows ...At least they didn't used to be

 That's not too much fun for me. I like hearing them gobble on the roost, fly down, gobble on the ground. Then call them in as close as I can and turn their head into a sponge. If I have to rely on ambushing to get a bird, I'll just shoot one off the roost with a 22.

  But there is all different styles of hunting the birds. Where I hunted in Texas, they shot them long range with rifles.

...I'm still loving "Bessie" the cow decoy trick...

Me, too. The first time Shannon showed me that picture I cracked up.

Eddie,i am like you on turkey hunting
love that gobble on the roost,the fly down,the calling,the strutting
the pounding of a load of #4 shot into their heads 

the cow decoy wouldnt work where i hunt
for some reason the easterns we have will tolerate cattle near a barn
but out in the fields etc. and they shy away from the cattle

I've never killed one from behind "Bessie", but I've guided several friends with her.
  I like calling 'em in and killin' 'em myself.  That's all the fun in turkey hunting.

 Get you a pack of banjer strings, some # 10 treble hooks, and a..........just kidding.
Actually, a #220 conibear and a couple handfuls of shelled corn works a lot better.

You can only hunt spring turkey in the morning here, and the bird has to be called in..... Evenings would be easy I know where they always roost.....

[huntertrapper]

aint no easy way to go about it. just gotta get out there and give em a try. like ryano said cant hunt em after 12 here. gotta call them in too in spring no stalking

[mullet]

 Can't hunt after 1pm here on Mngt. Land. But you can hunt all day on private property.

Because of this law, no turkey should be worried about my arrows. They all roost here and fly, down the hill, across the road. Don't have a chance to shoot them. Once they land, they're then berrated by every idiot who has $15 for a call and then the shotguns start going off. Last year my brother and I walked down to the bus, thought a car backfired- turns out someone shot a bird right across the road (shooting towards us).

I'd have more fun hunting crows... or ants. No one shoots at you when you're chasing ants

well i may have to deal wit ha stupid ass lottey for turkey season
however we do get to hunt from (legaly) a hlaf hour before sunup to half hour after sundown
we can stalk if we want(not my method,too many idiots out there),call them in or whatever
our laws dont say you cant shoot of the roost,but i think its wrong.its like shooting ducks on the pond

calling them and getting them to commit and come in range
now thats turkey hunting,the gobbling,the strutting,the fighting,the purring, its all good
