There are many reasons to like or dislike it, but my personal reason for at wanting this is I wouldn’t have time to hunt before work in the spring. I’d rather it got daylight at 4am in March and April.

They’re worse now in most areas based on what I’ve seen. The chemo I’ve been on has resulted in me pretty much never having an issue with ticks or mosquitos (my own observation), but based on the people I’ve hunted with across the country I’d say I’ve definitely seen a significant increase in ticks over the past 10 years or so.

Our turkey this morning didn’t gobble on the limb. Gobbled 3 or 4 times not long after he hit the ground. When we finally got around to him and called to him he probably gobbled 50 times up until the shot at 7:45.

Every day and every turkey is different. You just have to go. Somewhere there’s a turkey ready to respond every day. Just gotta find him.

My youth hunter finally killed on Saturday a little after noon. He also missed 2 earlier in the morning. It was a fun day.

You don’t have to spend $100 to find a call that will kill a pile of turkeys. Just get one you can afford and practice. I can take almost any old call and unless severely damaged make it play just fine.

They are 25 and 22.They know how to hunt turkey just not that many places to go around here.

Aw well, I wish them well. If they were kids I might help. I hope that doesn’t sound too mean.

I use an old leather belt. Cut it to length, run the screw through the leather then into the holes already there and call it a day.

I’ve done this with 100% success. You don’t need to run it the whole length though. A couple 3-4” pieces works just as good

While I get your point, unless you're brand new here you probably realize that dog hunting is not a popular subject here.

I think you are overstating this. The truth is there are a lot of people everywhere who hate dog hunters because they’d rather sit in a box stand with a heater and $1,500 in Sitka overlooking a food plot and a corn feeder posting on TD and surfing Facebook waiting on a deer they gave a name in August and only have night time pictures of. Then they shoot a “cull buck” they’ve passed on 6 times (he wasn’t a cull until January btw) and a doe later in the year and blame the fact they never saw “The Wide 10”, “Gladiator”, or “The Kicker 9” on 4 dogs that ran across “their property” (which they lease from Weyerhaeuser) for 20 minutes in December.

I probably have 30 of them in various sizes. Every year my mother and mother in law ask me what I want for Christmas. This is what I ask for.
