re: Turkey Hunting

Posted by Theduckhunter on 5/10/26 at 11:11 am to
It was a decent season for me. It started out rough. We bumped birds off the roost while headed to some that were gobbling. Wasted a couple hours before we found out the neighbor decided to start raising turkeys. :lol:

Had a missed opportunity in Louisiana due to another hunter. That was the only hunt I made out there, and it was pretty windy day.

Also went to OK and had some fun, but there were a ton of people and we spent too much time chasing a group of gobblers that didn’t want to cooperate.

Ended up with two for the season. The second one was on my last hunt at the last spot I was checking before heading back home. It was the perfect way to end the season.

You’ve got to provide more context if you want help on this board.
Dad got his limit yesterday. Said it started to get a little rougher later in the morning. Water didn’t look great but the fish were biting good on the rising tide.

Similar situation happened to me. I had a decoy set too close and also clipped a tree on the shot. I had a pain in my gut anytime I had to walk past that spot for the next year or so. :lol:

Mossberg 940 pro turkey fits the bill.

Bad advice. Give it up.

Unless you hunt private… or nowhere near where I hunt… in that case, keep trying.

1.5 weeks ago we had a bird gobbling well on the roost. Hit the ground and gobbled a few more times until he finally shut up for good. I ended up finding him around 11 and stuck with his drumming. Followed it to the edge of the property where he was following 4 hens around. Finally got a shot at 2pm.

Last week I heard another in the forest that was gobbling pretty good on the roots. I got excited, misjudged, and got too close.

So basically, 2 hunts with gobbling and about 10 with nothing (besides some farm birds I recently learned the neighbor has).

ETA: I forgot about the douche who parked right in front of us last Sunday and either doubled up or missed, right around flydown. I honestly would not be surprised if he shot them off the roost because it was still pretty early.

Yes. I can’t speak on durability yet, but mine are very comfortable and waterproof.

You can find everything you need on LDWF website. Pick the closest place to you that has an open turkey season and get out there. If there is an open season, there are turkeys to be killed. Just know there are way more turkey hunters than there are turkeys, and it ain’t for the weak. That’s about the best info you’re going to get.

If you’re disappointed in the replies to your post, prepare to be way more disappointed with public land turkey hunting in Louisiana :lol:

Dawn dish soap works pretty good. I’m not sure of her exact process. Also, Folex saved a pair of pants that got covered in deer blood. It may help with grease also.
Well to answer your question, I have researched options and it’s only a viable option if a gun is not possible. But if you must, pepper spray is a better alternative than a launcher.

Yes, a lot of guns come threaded nowadays. If not, you need to have the barrel threaded.

When I search on the app they all show up as “new” but nothing in stock yet.
