End of Turkey Season

Well today is the end of Spring Turkey Season and i didn't manage to get one. Not for the want of trying as most weekend i was out looking. I learned allot and had a lot of fun with it. Was very different to Falconry. I must admit i do prefer falconry but i had fun none the less. So here is to the next turkey season in Fall.

I came close to getting a turkey twice. But unfortunately they were both times just out of range. I will work on my calls for next season and hopefully that will change.

Prepping for Turkey Season

Turkey Season is just 6 days away. For a whole month in the surrounding counties we get to take one tom per county to a total limit of 3 toms. With that i have been buying up Turkey Calls and Camo as well as practicing shooting my shot gun from 40 and 50 yards.

 

I have been using the Primos tight wad Turkey Choke but it still seems to spread the pattern at the 40 - 50 yard mark. The Havi-Shot seem to do this even even more than some other rounds i tried. I've also been practicing my calls with a Box Call and a Slate Call.

Sparrow Hawks in Turkey

I love sparrow hawks they are my favorite hawk. Unfortunately even if i could have one i couldn't afford one in the USA.

I watched these videos about a year ago from another site but they recently came up on a listserv i subscribe to and are worth reposting.
