Turkey season

[Landogie]

Turkey season is fast approaching. I tried last year for the first time and didn't come close to getting anything. Where are some good places in east TN to hunt? Last year I went to Royal Blue WMA and saw quite a few but never got one close. I will probably end up back there again this year if something better doesn't come along.

[Guest GlocKingTN]

Turkey is quite plentiful here in West TN. I own about 50 acres and they are all over it. During deer season, saw about 60 at one time walk within 40-50 ft of my deer house. And yes, I thought about it!

I noticed your screen name. I, too, am a huge glock fan. Do you ever frequent GlockTalk?

[Guest GlocKingTN]

At least everyday. Sometimes 10 times a day. Usually just to check out a few threads or what-not! My screen name on there is naymless!

[Guest GlocKingTN]

Anyone else going for a Turkey this year?

I do. Just one more week to go!!!!!!!!!

[Guest GlocKingTN]

Well, I was going! But I needed a New dog rather than a shotgun, so.....

[Guest Phantom6]

So, what are we taking (or at least intending to take) these turkeys with? I'm looking here for mfgr., guage, bbl. length, sight type and shot size.

This is exactly what I had!

[Guest nitrous_mike]

If I go I will take my BPS 10 with its 26",Hastings XXX turkey choke, and try to see if i can find my federal #6 shot.

I had thought about trying my Benelli out but I have not bought a choke for it yet, I still need to get a pattern master for it and my 10 before duck season.

[nb forrest]

I'll be taking my 870 super mag, I just got a set of tru-glo sights for it, can't wait to see how they do.

[Guest GlocKingTN]

Still wish I was going!

Here is a picture of what a buddy of mine caught on the camera the other day that he has mounted at his property:

Let me know if you cant see it! Im having problems getting my pictures to post for some reason!

[Guest db99wj]

I see it, gobble gobble.

[Guest GlocKingTN]

I see it, gobble gobble.

Finally, a picture host that works!

[Marswolf]

I use Flickr, but it only allows jpgs. They have some nice software to help your uploads. Drag and drop stuff. Very handy.

[towerclimber37]

dang..I want to learn how to drag and drop pics instead of posting links!

Hey tower, this is how I do it: First, I post the picture on the website Im gonna host with (flickr,photobucket,yesalbum,etc.). 2nd, I right click the picture after uploading it to the sight. 3rd, I select properties, at the bottom of the pop-up. 4th, I highlight the path of the picture. 5th, I paste it in the box that pops up when you hit the image box on the forum! Lastly, I hit ok! That usually does it for me!

[Marswolf]

Yeah, drag and drop only works for getting pictures uploaded from your computer to the picture hosting site.

Anybody have any luck this weekend??

My son got a turkey Saturday morning. My father-in-law took him (he's 10) and he bagged a good one. It weighed 19 1/2 lbs. with a 10" beard and 1 1/4" spurs. It was his first turkey and he was beside himself. He got it with his Charles Daily 20ga youth model with the full choke in it shooting 1 1/4 oz #6 shot remington wingmaster shells. Needless to say, we're getting a full mount of it in strut with the tail fanned out. He got his first deer last fall and the mount should be back in a couple weeks for that one. Looks like I've got a good little hunter on my hands.

I have come close to taking 3 out with my car in the past week... One was a healthy tom, I almost tried for him, but I'da had to swerve part-way off of the road

[Guest Phantom6]

Sorry, couldn't help it:D
