Turkeys

[Lone Wolf '49]

I am not a turkey hunter, but today checking out a place for hogs, my pardner who is a well respected member on OSA and we won't go any further on that point. We DID see 100 turkey in an wheat field. We were in northern Greer County near the North ForK of the Red River. Saw more in smaller groups, but 100! I may take up turkey hunting in earnest!

It's a hootenanny - you should. Especially with that many around.

I just slapped a Nikon Turkey Pro scope on my turkey shotgun - great little scope. It's the same as the Slugmaster/Omega in 1.65-5x35 config, but has the "circle-X" reticle - good stuff.

Time to hit the range and sight in 2 shotguns for the season.

Its pretty addictive! you might want to reconsider if you want to spend a chunk of money on calls, decoys, blinds, guns, ammo, etc.

On second thought, blow all of that last advice away and go for it!

Lonewolf I spoke with the gentleman you speak of this evening. I asked him about yalls hunting trip. You guys would love turkey hunting. Calling the birds in to you and having them strutting and gobbling at mere feet sometimes can be as exciting as hunting gets.

Exactly!
Took the wife out one time without a gun, sitting 20' behind her. Called in a couple of jakes, almost in her lap. She couldn't take it and broke. Thought it was gonna bite her

Turkey hunting is a hoot!!
