Title: Two Missouri Turkeys
Post by: Onestringer on May 07, 2012, 11:42:00 AM
I had a really tough season this year.  It was the end of the 2nd week before I connected on my first bird.  Second bird came the last weekend on the next to last day of season.  I spent many, many hours chasing turkeys this year, more than I have in the past.

I gave a couple of jakes and bearded hens a pass, I told myself it was long beards or bust.

Here is my "Turkey Mobile", it carry's my blind, chair, and decoys.

Turkey # 1

Turkey # 2 - no string tracker, shot was a little far to use the string tracker

Glad to see it all came together for ya.  You need some off road tires on that cart. Alot of the newer baby strollers have them now.

Congratulations Scott, I have yet to get one with a bow. How far is "TOO FAR" for a string tracker? Just curious.

Too far for the string tracker was 34 yards.  The turkey just was not going to get any closer, I came to the point it was now or never and I thought I had a pretty good chance of killing it.

That's a great idea with your turkey (golf) cart, we did the same thing only with a deer cart. It has bigger wheels and did better over rough ground. Although we saw birds, you proved the better hunter! Congradulations!!!
