What fall turkey hunting can be like!

[bustedspur]

Back in 2001. Was hunting with GBLRSRST and family. We had a great day and almost limited out. ;D 2 fall birds are allowed/hunter.

Once we arrived at our destination and saw a flock of seventy in the meadow we knew it was going to be good! As the day went on we busted up the big flock and later several smaller flocks that broke off the big one and a coyote even helped us break up one flock. We got in calling contest's with real birds and some birds made the wrong choice. Anyhow, here's the results of that great day!

If I remember right -- Gretchen was on Injured Reserve that Fall

What Walt isn't telling you is that he had me almost call my LIPS OFF on one of those Birds!!!!

I'll tell more of the Story -- After Work!

It was one of the Best Days of Hunting Turkeys --Spring Or Fall -- EVER! ;D

Sorry for the Delay on more Facts of this hunt!

Severe Lightning last night and I turned off 'Puter!

This hunt took place on a Friends farm in Delaware County! In '95 I videoed 382 Turkeys in the Same field as us on March 17th.!!! They Group up -- BIG TIME -- and pick Cow Flops and follow the Honey Wagon in the winter time!

I had Never Hunted Turkeys there so we made a Trip to this farm for fall turkeys!

The terrain is very Rugged! Steep Side Hills, old apple orchards, Small Farm Fields and mixed woods! BEAUTIFUL! The side hill apple orchards were full of Turkeys!!!!!!

As to the Contents of the Bag! I got 2 Long-Beards on the Break-up! Dad got a Big Jake and Walt made me work (Calling) his 2 Nice-Fat Hens!!! Others were 2 hens called in for others!

2 Long Beards!
1 Jake!
4 Hens!

I'll tell more later -- But the day was full of the Smells and Sounds of Autumn and Great Fellowship!!!

BTW --- There were 2 Flocks that we saw get broke-up by Coyotes that day! THAT WAS QUITE A SIGHT!!!
