Title: Turkey for coffee
Post by: Ted Fry on April 30, 2019, 06:00:56 PM: Had this tom come right up to my window this morning while enjoying coffee with my wife instead of turkey hunting.
I need to change all my screens to shoot through mesh.

Post by: Ted Fry on May 01, 2019, 07:38:35 PM: And it gets better, this morning I sat from first light till 9:00 am , had four toms gobbling and one came real close but not close enough, ever feel like you have a right handed slate and your left handed?
Called it quits and walked the 150 yards to my house , sat down to eat breakfast and get ready for work and looked down at my blind and guess what , three hens and a tom right in front of my blind.
Turkeys a love hate relationship.

Post by: blacktailbob on May 02, 2019, 09:42:46 AM: My morning coffee view is this PC screen. Sigh!
I try not be envious but at times it's pretty dang hard.

Post by: Ted Fry on May 03, 2019, 01:18:55 PM: I think you are correct Charlie, I caught up a little bit this morning!
I had four toms going at day break and this one came in close enough for me to take a nice broad side, broke the wing joint and he went down , I raced out of the blind Fred Eichler like and fell on my ground blind tie down , went #@!$ over tea kettle but managed to get to the bird , I tripped again but this time I fell on the bird (No arrow, pass through) he then rolled me over and proceeded to beat me with his wings, I managed to pull a wrestling move and get on top of him and payed him back.

1) Mr. Coffee
2) Trad Turkey Hunter
3) Camo Gymnast
4) MMA Turkey Fighter

One thing's for sure, you are one heck of a Multi-Tasker. Nice Bird Champ!

Say, is that an Osage pot? I have an Osage one. Works pretty good.

I’d pay good money to see that!!

Congrats on a well/hard earned bird.

First turkey I ever got, I had to tackle and wrestle him into submission:)

Post by: Hermon on May 06, 2019, 02:50:15 PM: Congratulations Ted. By the way, did you happen to have a camera set up so that we could watch the wrestling moves? :biglaugh:
Title: Re: Turkey for coffee
Post by: acolobowhunter on May 06, 2019, 04:18:56 PM: I'm not a wrestler, but seems there is a move called the "Chicken Wing", maybe we need to rename it the "Turkey Wing" for Ted's sake.
Title: Re: Turkey for coffee
Post by: Ted Fry on May 06, 2019, 06:27:52 PM: Sorry no cameras, just me and the turkey, Turkey Wing , I like that name for a grapple move! :biglaugh: Not an Osage pot Varmit , made with Zebra and blood wood by Wade Morris at Rustic Archer, good guy.
