Turkeys around here are still choking and gagging on the snow. I think it'll be a while yet.

Mom and Dad are loaded down with ducks (now over a month after the season) but the only turkey is Mom's pet, Hoppy, who has a bad leg and hangs around the house. Can't shoot Hoppy. Season opens Sunday and we'll probably do a dry run Saturday to see where they are hiding.

How long are Hoppy's beard and spurs... :whistle:

Haven't gotten that close to him yet.:corn:

We have approx. 2 dozen turkeys on the 100 odd acres of property that abut my son in laws home here in Plymouth, Ma. When the season opens my 8 yr old grandson and I will set up our blind and start calling. At 8 yrs old, Logan is becoming a pretty good caller and I figure that's a god way to break him in slowly to the sport. (It also helps to have an extra set of eyes and ears in the blind with papa!) It reminds me of fond memories of when my dad took me under his wing....and is a wonderful tradition to hand down

Good for you Allen. Also sounds like you have some choice property too. Good luck with your season

Dean,
Duct tape on a Parker, huh?
I thought I was the only one. Now there are two whipping boys in the Parker circle.
I believe it was that great American philosopher, George Costanza, who uttered the famous words "Is that wrong?"

Steve, that's fabric camo stretch tape that sticks to itself without adhesive.

Turkey do not draw me the way deer do !

And with that being said I wouldn't mind getting a turkey (hen , jake or big tom) with my maternal grandfathers old W&C Scott 10 gauge . That things fullest and even more fullerer loll's !
