I just wanted to drop a note of thanks to Joey for the great seminar at Kalamazoo this year. It was really inspiring and thought provoking. My home was visited by a thief last year who stole most of our firearms. None were recovered but I did manage to replace, a few for my son and I (home owners policy stunk). Anyway after this seminar, I think I will go after turkeys with a bow this year. My son can back me up with the shotgun (because we all know that turkeys are considered dangerous game ;) ) Actually he has never killed a turkey and I really would enjoy being there when he does. Joey, if you read this, thanks again and one question. Can you give me the websites you mentioned that sell turkey call making supplies?
I only understood half what he said, all that ya'll stuff make it hard to cypher :bigsmyl: Joey, can you explain that clock-wise counter-clockwise deal with the pot calls? I did learn a lot and will slow down with that box call to get that break over, thanks for the tips!
I believe the site was customsawing.com
Joey's seminar was beyond excellent... informative, fun, and a great look at some methods I've never considered. Sat through it TWICE, and would have gone yet again if there had been the opportunity!!
Thanks, Joey, for what you've put together, and for being good enough to share it!

Ya'll quit it!!!! I definitely had more fun than ya'll did. I just love talking about turkey bowhunting, it was all my pleasure. Thank ya'll for the kind words. I have always wanted to do something up north and meet the backbone bowhunters of our sport..thank you
Wveer...here are some sites i go to. customsawing.com, customcalls.com and try this site to buy $1.25 mouth calls, all you have to do is cut the reeds how you want them...pioneerturkeycalls.com (this is where i buy my mouth call supplies)
Owlbait..i do counterclock wise for yelps,drag down slashes for clucks and fast drag down forcuts and MMMs at top for Key Keys which I forgot to do.never pick your peg up but learn to slide across the face of pot..To Jake gobble on mouth call, I do Boy Boy Boy Tooka tooka tooka...it's a fantastic call that sometimes jerks a mature gobbler out of a flock..hope this helps
Hawkeye ..thanks so much and enjoyed meeting you...it's was my second seminar but i'm constantly changing the powerpoint from feedback i get. Gene W wants we to spend more time on calling at my next one at PBS, i will and also Decoy when to use Jakes or hens or both.and go over some hang up scenerios.And i forgot on my first one saturday to really go over left side set ups in my chair and how i get still, Marty pointed that out to me when i finished....but i utimately try to make it fun and funny and try not to come across as a know it all because I don't. i learn something everytime i work a bird...
Joey for the first seminar you did awesome. Turkeys are very tough to get and you were very informative. No matter what were hunting we are all students in the wild. Thats one thing I love about being outdoors and hunting. Looking forward to your seminar at the PBS. Be careful and keep shooting straight, David.
Joey took a very complicated topic and broke it down so it was easily understandable. I especially liked his flow chart which gave situations and how to handle them. I'm looking forward to sitting thru it again at PBS so I can absorb another 10%.
I wanna see Joey's seminar bad :pray:
Guru- you better go to a hog seminar as often as you've been huntin them! Good luck with those Wensel fella's next week and don't believe a word they say about your friend Biggie. Word on the street is that Gene snored thru Joey's seminar and he lost a flashlight sale!
I too, enjoyed joey's talk. I plan on putting some of his tatics to the test sooner than later. It sure is nice though, to be able to scratch and move around in a blind. Don
Joey, I was able to see your seminar at the PBS in Pittsburgh, didn't catch it at Kzoo, and won't catch you in Nashville, any chance you would make a DVD of your seminar at Nashville?
I thought the info was outstanding and very well presented, but being over 45 and having a short memory span, I soon went into memory overload.
:bigsmyl:
I messed up and missed seeing Joey in Pittsburgh. Was in the booth all weekend in Kazoo and couldn't get away.
I will NOT be denied in Nashville!!!

So Joe,
You say you do CCW for yelps. But, are you right-handed or left-handed?
homebru
Clockwise is clockwise no matter what handed but I think Joey said sometimes you have to stand on your head to get it to sound right. Actually, I commented on that directional striker stuff because Joey said to move CCW and I am also right handed but go cw. Maybe because I'm a Yankee?
Joe,
Are you doing a seminar at the NWTF convention in Nsshville?
Golly Joebuck...your a lot sharper then Biggie made out...
Just kidding , great job.RC
SC,
I don't know about the NWTF, but Joey is doing a seminar for us at the PBS Gathering in Nashville the last weekend of March.
Who's Joey???
Hey guys, maybe this clears it up, point the end of the striker away from the direction of your yelps...example....hold pot in left hand and striker in the right..i cock my striker end (not the end that touches the glass) towards the right and go counter clockwise with my circles. I like a wide tip stiker and work the back half of striker tip ( 12,1,2,3,4,5,6 oclock side of stiker point as it "scratches" the top..its just alot easier this way CCW when your right handed becasue 1/2 the yelp is made on the stroke at 2,1,12,11,10,9,8,7, oclock of the circle...Clucks and cuts I hold the striker end ( not the end that touches the glass) away from me at dead 12 oclock. I am canting the peg about 5-10 degrees on all of this......Kee Kee...well you first have to have a pot call to do it...but no matter what pot you have find the break over spot and start your 1/2 your yelp above and stroke through the break over to get the bottom. Hold the pot very loose in your hand to get raspy and lighter striker pressure........hope this helps.....I made Biggie a pot call one time and he thought it was a drink coaster! i think he called up a turkey one time with it...oh yeah....i did not get one bite!
Gads. I'd like to know if you south guys ever attended school that taught English. Reading the above posts reminds me of trying to figure out what cricket is across the pond.
ie: ( 12,1,2,3,4,5,6 oclock side of stiker point as it "scratches" the top..its just alot easier this way CCW when your right handed becasue 1/2 the yelp is made on the stroke at 2,1,12,11,10,9,8,7, oclock of the circle.
Ted ,look at your yelp circle as the face of a watch. Start with with peg on the 2"oclock position and move it Counter clock wise (CCW) in a nice tight circle about 1/2" circumfernce to the 1 o'cloc ,12'o'clock .11 'o'clock and so on.......this makes a nice yelp..practice tempo.......theirs a difference in typing turkey and talking english......Trueblood? ..you speak Native?
Joey, Did you you say that you had a build along on here for your 2 legged turkey chair? I aim to have on for this spring. also who has them bow holder things?(stick in the ground type),
I was at the seminar but owlbait kept asking me what you said and I missed a few parts.
He said Dick's had them but I couldn't find them this weekend. I understood that part :thumbsup: :confused:
Chuck here are the diminsions.. I have it shown with a third leg but you do not need it. Important thing is build your chair 4-5 inches high then cut legs off to fine tune..i also compensated for legs stick 1-2 inches in soft ground. I rigged up some cheap back straps and carry my decoy in the seat and under the seat with a bungee..I wrap total chair in that sponge type camo tape and it's really quiet.....Bow Stand can be made out of 3/8 inch alluminum wire and bend it to shape to hold your bow.. just think of it like a heavy duty giant tent stake..

I've heard Joey's turkey seminar and I enjoyed it and I don't even turkey hunt.
Joey is a barrel of fun for sure. You can tell he enjoys putting them on as he has a lot of fun too. He knows turkeys!!!!!
Thanks Tarz! it's alot of fun doing them.
Steve O....i have been changing some slides up and will have some additional tips and stuff on different hang up scenerios, evening roost strategies and decoy stuff..........Maybe a semi-live hunt from Florida and shot footage!?!
I feel special, Joey took me on my first turkey hunt back in the mid 90's in South Georgia! We found some birds that evening rousted and went back to them the next morning. All I remember was Joey was doing some great calling and beating the hell out of a turkey wing to simulate a fly down. When that did not work Joey started struting around like a globbler making all kinds of weird sounds. After that, he scared everything off! Ahhhh, the wonders of our youth!!!
I knew Joey before he became a celebrity!
We all knew you John before you.......nevermind.
Bonecracker taught me how to shoot my first trad bow and actually hit something. That was a quick hunt we went on..That turkey flew to Canada i think from Thomasville,Ga
I new Johnny V when he was Head chigger attractor at the Southeasterns Trad Champs in Elberton, G in early 90's.
Gettng some PM's on the Turkey Chair...An Alaskan or simliar pack frame will work too. Actually David Waldrop from Ga who got several of us using these way back ,made many proto types out of pack frame. Find an old used pack frame with a fold down bar and thats your seat. put some rubber stoppers on end of legs and add back straps...i have one Marty Roberts gave me and hopefully show you how to convert when i get back from Disney World...
Thanks Joey.(you too Mike,sorry for pickin on ya.)
Gosh Chuck, I was only asking questions to keep you from running up and hugging Joey! Just remeber Chuck those southern birds are easier to kill, just harder to hit. They ain't tough enough to make it threw our winter, and thays much smaller. Plus, does guys don thar miss alot, so thay gets edumacated!!!
I heers ya Mike.
