    TSS heavyweight $$$

    in Turkey Hunting

    Posted

    I was listening to a podcast this morning and they were talking about TSS. Very interesting and informative conversation.
     

    I hopped on gun broker to see what the pricing was like, people were asking anywhere from $50 to $90 a box, that’s $10 to $18 per round. SMH

    So are neighborhood squirrel a different flavor than “real” squirrel?
    Like suburban deer (RIP Buckle) vs field/big woods deer?

    I don’t know if they taste any different, but I’m going to say their diet vastly differs. Squirrels around here chew holes in trash cans and eat garbage. I have a picture somewhere I’d a squirrel on my garage roof eating a blueberry bagel. 
     

    i would be curious about rabbits, they eat our strawberry’s and veggies.

    Duck it!

    I read the entire 1st page of the post, but couldn’t contain my excitement. DO IT!!! Take the red pill, open Pandora’s box, go down that rabbit hole!

    This was my 1st year goose and duck hunting. Made a lot of new hunting buddies (1 one with a chocolate lab) and I HAD A BLAST, no pun intended. I was very lucky to have some new friends teach me the ropes. I love bow hunting for deer and would never give it up, but the comradery, excitement and action of goose/duck hunting is on another level.

    You know this, but when your deer hunting your normally alone, quiet and as still as possible. Hunting geese/ducks is completely the opposite, your with friends, when it’s slow you shoot the shit, drink coffee…one guy smoked cigars. I didn’t have a single hunt this season where we came home with nothing. 
     

    I agree with everyone else…Don’t eat Mergansers. To me Geese taste like tangy beef and duck is delicious. Here’s some Duck Marsala

    Is there birds in the area? Fresh sign? 

    I like to sit for about a hr after fly down if I'm not hearing anything.  Then I start looking. 

    I believe so, the leave in the area were roughed up and I found a Turkey feather in a clearing a few hundred yards away from where I set up. I didn’t see much of anything this past Sunday, minus the porcupine.

    My struggle here has been even finding birds to roost the previous night. I’m spending time going in “cold Turkey” hoping to get lucky.

    I know these are probably rookie mistakes, but it seems like time in the woods is time in the woods and you can’t kill’em from the couch...lol

    I definitely appreciate the feedback!

    Quick question for the crew.

    How long will you sit without hearing anything before you move? This morning I hit the woods well before light and sat quietly, never heard a gobble. I sat until about seven then I decided to move  and go looking for a bird, no luck.

    There was an obnoxious owl that was calling from the second I stepped out of the truck and continued most of the morning. I thought that might have had someone to do with it.
     

     

    Turkey vest

    in Turkey Hunting

    I have the Alps Long Spur. Has the seat, tons of storage space. One of the best features is almost all of that storage space is removable with the exception of the hip pouches. You can run and gun it or pack what ever suits your needs. The only thing I don’t care for was the placement of the bird bag, it’s high on the back and bothers my neck if not positioned correctly.

    Another vest you might want to take a look at is made by Badlands. I have no experience with it, but I have two other Badlands backpacks and I love both of them.

    Not a bad price.  I don't think I'd pay more than that, and only if it held birds. But I'd definitely walk it first and see if it even looks like a decent turkey area.  Any fields, food plots? Either on the property or adjoining? 

    Oh geez, I meant no turkeys...So, uhh...see you at 4:00am on 5/1?

    Hi Mowin!

    He’s agreed to a year round lease from the date of agreement. So it could be from 1/15/21-1/15/22 depending on when we settle. 

    There is also the benefit of location, almost all public with size is an hour in any direction. This is a roughly 20 minute drive.

    I am curious, What kind of small game are you hunting that requires a lease? Is this place exceptional for grouse, rabbits or turkey?

    According to the land owner yes on good Rabbits and Turkey, with other various species.
