Calling All NC Turkey Bowhunters

[The Night Stalker]

I think I am going to punt. Opening day has always been good to me but 15-25 with gust to 50 is not the ideal opening day.

i am in a blind at the moment and it is 30 degrees and pouring the snow. What an opener!

On the plus side ive had several jakes around me but none have wanted to play...yet.

One might walk bye Dalton, but I do not think they will hear you calling in this wind,. Couple inches of snow here and I have been chasing calves after midnight and this morning. The joy of haveing cattle. I will not hear any gobbling today on the farm. I wish I was as enthusiastic as you Dalton.

Rumor was correct!

I'm glad somebody connected. I couldn't figure out where rare snatches of turkey sounds were coming from in the crazy wind.

I hit one today, I was leaving the farm to get some barb wire to fix fence. Two long beards were strutting with a hen close to the road and did not want anyone to notice so I stopped the truck and threw a rock. Bullseye, back in the woods they went.

That will keep them confused, Tim!

Had plenty of action so far and have called in several for some friends including a sweet double last night. Hopefully il get my turn here soon. My dad killed his first ever bow bird saturday in the snow and wind. He saw how much fun i had with it last year and just had to try it, those avian dekes make it easy! He said it came in and fought his decoy for 2-3 minutes before he shot him, he had a blast! He shoots a #45 Omega Imperial with Heritage arrows and Zwickey Delta heads.

Congrats to your Dad!

Yesterday, I was again amazed at the uncanny ability of an impatient gobbler over 200 yds away on the opposite side of a ridge to launch, sight unseen, fly across a river and land in your lap.  If turkey had a sense of smell to match their hearing and sight you'd never kill one.

Well i started the morning with 4 arrows all fletched with chartreuse fletching. By 10:17 i had 3 arrows with chartruese feathers and 1 arrow that was wet and red.
