If there really are “ON” and “OFF” kind of days for turkeys. Saturday, Sunday and Monday of the Opener here in the Trans-Bluegrass were definitely “ON.” Angus had a shot on Saturday as did I, Angus scored on Sunday. SuperCore and I scored on Monday. Ever the rain returned on … Continue reading →
Turkey Season 2015 is under way. Saturday was The Opener. I went to the Honey Hole. Angus went to the rock pile up on top of Gobbler’s Knob. SuperCore went to his usual place at the Jagende Hutte overlooking Dead Skunk Hollow. Flydown Saturday was somewhat subdued. I had expecte … Continue reading →
By the time you read this it will be T-minus 15 hours and counting to the Turkey Opener. SuperCore called. He’s bringing  breakfast sandwiches, and the Scotch, and a bucket of fried dead chicken from the side of the road. I hugged Angus this morning and told him I’d … Continue reading →
I have been so busy with the podcasts that I have not had a good chance to sit down and discuss all the other things going on in the Shamanic Dream Team’s run up to The Opener. Angus’ New Shotgun I was at an auction back in February and got … Continue reading →
This is my first Yute Season in many years where I did not have a yute to bring with me. Angus is now too old, and grandaughteer #1, Mooselette, just turned 3. She and I have been hunting turkeys in the backyard when she comes to visits. It must be … Continue reading →
I probably would have stayed back in town this weekend, but the temperature was cold enough that I thought I might freeze the pipes at Turkey Camp if I was not there. Indeed, the temperature was 17F and still falling when I went out armed with the recorder and my … Continue reading →
This was our first weekend back at Turkey Camp. It had been a harsh winter, but the cabin was in one piece, and the deer and turkey both seemed as though they had not suffered too much.  A week ago there had been a foot of snow on the ground. … Continue reading →
I have one property . It’s my farm, and the only folks that are allowed to hunt it are my sons and my old boss, SuperCore. What I’ve learned there in 13 seasons is that generally there are only a few days a season where any group of turkeys are … Continue reading →
From Old Gobbler.com deerbasshunter3 Are long distance shots a good thing, or a bad thing for turkey hunting? « on: February 18, 2015, 08:42:58 PM » I know on another forum that I am on for deer hunting there are some people who mention taking longer shots at deer with … Continue reading →
Dang. It’s been two weeks. I wish I could say I’ve been up to something, but I really haven’t. Mostly, I’ve been in a daze. Angus brought home a bug from high school. KYHillChick and I have had it. It’s one of those nasty viruses that kind of come and … Continue reading →
etter late than never, here is the best of about 40 hours of recording. This is not like my other podcasts, because it is just raw turkey sounds with no commentary, no banjo music. The original recordings were from mid-April on a morning where all heck broke loose at the Honey Hole. I had several gobblers come in on me, but I could never get the cross-hairs on them. I selected the source tracks, because they were particularly clean and mixed it so it would be perfect wake-up music.

The brother I met first,however, was O.P. , the baby of the bunch. O.P. has a trailer … Continue reading →
In the past, tagging out seemed to be such a chore. By the time that last tag is on the line, I am usually thinking more about how much space there will be in the freezer than anything else. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure I’m pissing off the poor … Continue reading →
