How many of you guys out there are crazy about Spring Gobblers with trad equipment??? I'm counting the days down to spring! I plan to start out the spring fling in Kansas with their new 2 week archery only season! I'd love to see your photos and hear your stories! I've yet to take one with trad equipment, but i plan to try the entire season with my long bow! Thanks, Shawn

Killy, turkey's have no nutz, but they do have a pecker. It is on their face!
No wonder there so ugly and scatter brained.
Sorry, I could not resist!

I have shot a ton of turkeys with a gun. This spring I'm going to give my longbow a whirl. I have a special friend for them to meet, he name is Henrietta she is a bearded hen that i had mounted years ago. I thought i would try her as a decoy and see what happens.

BGBhunter, that is an awesome armguard and hipquiver. My kids and I enjoy doing a little leather work, we recently made an arm guard for a fellow on here and it looks similar to that design but with out the snake skin.
Awesome pics!!

Now that's just COLD.....The lowest of the LOW.....using a OUTHOUSE for a turkey blind!!!!! :rolleyes:

Well, you don't have to worry about scent control for turkeys, right?
:biglaugh:

You said it, Chuck! Is nothing sacred? :readit:
Here is a video of my turkey dog, Spirit. I found out that she is a turkey dog today, at the 3D range. She bobs and weaves better'n Ali ever did!

Looking forward to it and have a special couple flying in from the NW Territories to give it a go for the first time!

vermonster13, I've heard the turkey huntings pretty good out your way. I can't wait to hear your stories.
-
Birddogdoc, can you tell me when the two week archery season in KS is? All I can find is 06 info. I plan to go back to NW Kansas this spring.

Hi Mike, the KS archery only season is the 1st two weeks of april! I think they're trying to keep up with Nebraska! NE has a Mid-March Archery only season which is really great! The Pine Ridge has lots of public access. I think the birds are much more active in early April! Last year we saw hunderds of birds still in their winter flocks. I can't wait until April! I enjoy reading your articles in TBM. Keep up the good writing! Shawn

Looking forward to trying my Eastman LX-5 on the birds this spring in Michigan. By the way, turkey "fries" are great skinned, dipped in cold milk, breaded with Drake's breading mix and fried in hot grease. Eat just one then gobble the rest!
-
I've finally got a decent spot here in California, and I can't wait!

Took the plunge. I bought a few calls and a hen decoy. The box call seems fairly simple but this diaphram call is another story!
After I almost threw up with it stuck to the top of my mouth I finally found the right spot for it. It was comical! It was stuck to the top of my mouth and I was dry heaving while simultainiously running for the restroom and prying it loose.
It's getting better now though. I just need to learn the "language". When and when not to call, what tp "say" etc...
I'm really excited about it!
