Spring turkey camp, Michigan camp.

[tattoo dave]

Well, considering there's no turkey camp in the black hills this year.. . Anybody want to join me and a few friends here in Michigan for spring turkey camp. The week of May 22nd, in Fife lake, MI. There's a rustic state forest campground there with lots of hunting property around. This will likely be a far cry from JW's turkey camp, but it'll be fun. I'll be doing some cooking, but please bring a dish or two to pass. Maybe we can work on some bows and some flint knapping, depending on who shows up.

Due to legal B.S. I can't act as a guide, but shouldn't be hard for anyone to find some birds in the area.

If anyone from out of state would like to come, pm me and I'll send details about what licenses and when you need to purchase.

If I know Dave, there will be pasties there.  Delicious, stick to your ribs, give you immortal strength, good for your soul pasties!

You can bank on it John. Pasties for lunch after chasing birds in the morning. Yummy!

I wish I lived closer I'd be there. Sounds like a real good time. I have to ask what are pasties? I only know one thing called pasties and if you ate them you definitely were getting kicked out of the stag party! Hope you guys have an blast at turkey camp.

Check the cooking page. There's a whole thread about pasties. It'll be a good time for sure. So far there's only a few showing up, but that's fine too. More pasties for me!

If you are even close to the fence, much less sitting on it, lemme drop a dime on ol' Dave!  When he starts to call like a lonely hen, he talks turkey.  Several times, I felt my tailfeathers fan and the strut starting to move my feet. Good thing I was clean shaven and had a head of hair, or I mighta ended up in the bag!

You owe it to yourself to just hear him do some of that fine calling.

Thanks John! I'll never forget the look on Bybee's face when I started working 2 calls at once. We pulled out all the tricks on that Tom, and that fat b@$tard still wouldn't come in.

There will be some custom dave made turkey calls there as well, might even make a few while in camp.
