I’ve been down at Turkey Camp all weekend, and we’ve been up to a lot of things. This morning I got out early and managed to catch a gobbler and hen with my new sound rig. Sit back, plug in your headphones and have a listen. Gobblers and Hens at … Continue reading →
It’s funny about turkey hunting. However, when I wrote The Role of Personal Ethics in Hunting , I was wearing my deer hunting hat. Now it is getting on towards turkey season, and I went back and read it again, and I realized there were a lot of things that … Continue reading →
First off, turkey hunting is by its nature not all that demanding on guns. This is not wingshooting. This is not duck hunting. You make a shot, fill a tag, and that’s it. A cheap gun will do as well as the most expensive. Of all the systems I’ve tried, … Continue reading →
Originally Post #1 , “The Shaman Enters” at The Quaker Boy Forums 1/9/2007 The wind was stiff enough that it blew the door open as soon as it came unlatched. It was snowing lightly, but it wasn’t cold enough to stick. It was cold, it was muddy. It looked like … Continue reading →
Originally published 2/18/2010 From TreeRooster at Turkey And Turkey Hunting Forum In the spring of 2005, I had just finished a turkey hunt in Colorado with my friend James a couple days earlier. James headed to Kansas for another hunt and I was on the road to Black Hills of … Continue reading →
I was over early to the old turkey hunter’s shop near Browningsville. It was still February, but almost not. It was past time for breakfast, but still time for a second cup of coffee. This was the perfect time for going visiting in the country. No one felt obliged to offer you a plate of whatever they had anymore, and no one felt bad if you said you were still full from your own. A cup of coffee is always welcome as is the company.

Everyone goes at turkey hunting a little different. One guy wants to take a gobbler only if he has called it into him. Another guy only wants to do it with his grand-daddy’s side by side. Another fellow only feels right if he’s spent $500 on ammunition and is wearing the latest camo pattern– vest and boots matching. Another guy only wants to saddle up his bird and ride it back to camp singing “John Brown’s Body.” We all look at this sport differently.
Continue reading →Back when I first started turkey hunting, there was not a whole lot out there written on the subject. As usual, I turned to my trusty Outdoor Life Cyclopedia, published in 1942 for advice. The following is the entry I found. This and a couple of Ben Lee tapes constituted … Continue reading →
There are so many new turkey hunters out there this year, I thought I’d share a resource with y’all. I don’t know this guy. I know he’s selling stuff, but who isn’t these days? Here is Roger Raisch’s site. It has a bunch of free content, mostly geared to beginning … Continue reading →
Back last August, I felt compelled to write a Ninety-Niner’s look at Deer Hunting. A Ninety-Niner Speaks Out About Deer Hunting In case you are wondering, a Ninety-Niner is a fellow who goes the full 99 weeks on federally-mandated unemployment compensation and then falls off the back end, still without … Continue reading →
One of my shaman buddies is all into compassion right now. I was watching his thread over on Facebook, talking about compassion. ” Compassion, compassion, compassion!” It hit me: how does compassion fit in with Turkey Hunting. You have to wonder some days why we go out and hunt turkeys. … Continue reading →
