I lent all my turkey porn to SuperCore, and then I got had a this sudden and insatiable craving for some over the weekend. All my Drury Brothers were over the river at SuperCore, all my good DVD’s and VHS tapes. So I decided to go on YouTube and see … Continue reading →
From Turkey and Turkey Hunting We all have a comfort zone for distance in bagging turkeys. I don’t want to talk about ethics, but just personal comfort. It would be a question that would just hard to glean anything meaningful if I just asked you “What is your comfort zone?” … Continue reading →
From March, 2009 On the way back to the house, I didn’t know whether to write this up as a stunning success or a miserable failure. I guess any time the turkeys reveal something to you, it’s a victory. Back in early March, I had Angus out scouting the bottom … Continue reading →
This may be weird to y’all, but there is nothing that quite compares in my life to being away from camp for 2-3 months and then coming back in. I spend the whole winter fretting about the place. It’s weathered ice storms, tornado and so on, and it is always … Continue reading →
The Hole in the End of the Stump Turkey Camp officially reopened yesterday for the 2010 KY Spring Gobbler Season. Good news: The lights, the phone, and the water came back on without a hitch. I also got a cell signal on the first try. There were no dead mice … Continue reading →

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 South Dakota. As … Continue reading →
There are some states that ban the hunting of turkeys in the afternoon. The feeling is that it puts too much stress on the birds. This leads folks to wonder if hunting turkeys in the afternoon is such a good thing. My feeling is that it probably makes no great … Continue reading →
Supercore made it over to the house yesterday for some tutoring. Now mind you, I used to work for this guy when I taught at the local college, so I felt the need to do this right. Supercore brought a couple of candidate shotguns, but neither had the right stuff. … Continue reading →
There’s very little I feel I do right in turkey hunting. I don’t think I’m an expert on the birds, I’m not that good a caller. I know my own birds pretty well, but mostly they give me the slip and stand there laughing at me. Wherever I have the … Continue reading →
I once left my release at home. Luckily I had a shooting tab in the case. I’ve left the black powder at home before the ML Opener. Luckily I had a spare pound at the farm. I’ve left ammo at home, but I had a spare rifle handy. I’ve left … Continue reading →
