Title: NC Turkeys Down One.....at first quarter!
Post by: John Dill on April 11, 2010, 10:07:00 PM
Had a great opening day here in NC. Turkeys everywhere this year and seem to be cooperating. Heres the aftermath on opening day. 15 yard shot. Anneewakee Addiction recurve, Kanati Bow Quiver loaded with MFX shafts tipped with some ultra sharp Grizzlies. 9 inch beard. Calling was done with Joey Buchanan's Wooden Hen. After a day of practice with Joeys scratch box that he graciously gave me....heres the results. Thanks for the gift Joebuck. My son John Davis was sure excited.

Great pictures.
The boy sure looks happy. I can see a future turkey slayer there.

Hope my season goes as well. I was just looking at that call. Now I know they must sound great.

Outstanding, John, and a picture for the memories book, for sure. 9" beard, allll riggght! Also one for the Anneewakee Addiction kill gallery, eh?

Geeze, John Davis looks "all growed-up" from last year. Must be that new "Marine Hair Cut", and standing up in the woods scene, in camo gear. How fast they change!

Oh, I got to hear Batman's Joey B. Scratch Box, one evening a week ago or so - and it sure sounded good.

Congradulations, and a good looking bird. It's a given that two Johns are better than one. Now be honest, which one of you shot the bird? From the look on John Davis's face he might well have been the successful hunter.    :clapper:

Post by: owlbait on April 12, 2010, 05:36:00 PM
Don, its all about the joebuck wooden hen call. I called at a big tom 200 yards away and he came running and waited for me to shoot. When he saw I didn't have my bow and the season wasn't open, he went and laid down in front of my Jeep and wanted me to run him over. Yeah, John is good, but its all in the call   :laughing:

Good job John.  :thumbsup:  Sounds like your day was a bit better than mine.I watched him fly down followed by 2 hens and go the other way.No way those hens were letting him come see me.  :(
Title: Re: NC Turkeys Down One.....at first quarter!
Post by: John Dill on April 12, 2010, 08:23:00 PM
Thanks everyone for the nice thoughts!!!! John Davis and I sure were excited. If turkeys had the ability to scent like deer ...I believe they would be almost imposible to kill. As far as John Davis goes he loves shootin his bow and can't wait to sit in a blind with pops. I can't wait until he gets his first!!!

Those tire tracks are made courtesy of Grizzly brand raidials(LOL)  :D

Great bird!

You got me! I wear it because it is black. It helps me "black out" in my blind. Its also fun to get a little funnin with the trad boys even though I dont shoot a compound. (LOL)

Post by: J. Cook on April 14, 2010, 01:34:00 PM
LOL  ...I just couldn't help it.  I worked in a bowtech dealer for 4 years during college, so I recognized it.   :biglaugh:

Awesome bird though...hope to get a NC bird myself in the coming weeks.

Don and I were deflated a little this mourning. The turkeys showed us who still rules....the turkeys!I'm not giving up on a possible second bird hopefully before the last quarter!!(LOL)

LOL - there's a lot of that going around (in any turkey season, anywhere), John. Was that mis-spelling of morning (mourning) on purpose or was it a Freudian slip?   ;)
