  1. Do you know the area well? Any ideas where they typically roost? Get within calling range of those areas, right before dark (or at dark) and hoot like a screech owl. You can often locate them this way, as owls are a natural predator and the males will gobble in response. Come set up within 2-300 yards in the morning, before light. At daylight, start calling (lonely hen) and listen - paying close attention to if the gobbler's getting closer, or going away. If he's going away, he's with a group of hen's that he's not leaving. Time to move.... It's a bit cat / mouse with a smart gobbler. Also - unlike Texas deer hunting, you need to wear AMPLE camouflage. They are extremely good at pinpointing a location, and their eyesight is impeccable. Once they have you pegged, they will just run and you may not ever see or hear them. Try not to move much if you have a gobbler that is making his way into your area - become the tree / bush / background. If he's getting close, don't over-call. Similar to ducks, you can over-do it.
  2. Turkey hunting is one of the best damned experiences, but the end game is horrible. I have yet to find a good way to cook a bird....best I've ever done is lightly frying chunks of breast, and it still wasn't amazing. I've resorted to entertaining the sport of calling in a big Tom and getting them to strut around. Can't find it in myself to pull the trigger anymore. Anyone have a good recipe that would have me pullin' on the Benelli trigger once again?
  3. Likely to be auctioned to the highest bidder...
  4. New Orleans could be fun, though! Generally speaking, I agree. We need them here and there.
  5. How was he ever allowed into the inside circle? Fuck that noise. Lesson: never let an aggy (of any flavor) invest in your biz...
