I am on vacation this week and I'm planning to go deer hunting this week. But, I got board today and got some things from the freezer to start preperations for the Spring Turkey Season.
I thought to myself that you guy's and Gal's might want to follow along,,, again!
Fethers for fletchings, wing bones for turkey calls, some wood for box calls and a small copperhead skin for a special touch to something I create.
The wings were from a friends birds that he harvested back in the spring and one this fall. My spring 2006 bird went to the taxidermist. The copperhead was a roadkill. It was hit before I got turned around to go back and catch him. Luckily it was just the head that took the hit.
This will be my first year turkey hunting with traditional archery tackle. But, I've made the decision to go for the home grown version. I'll make everything I need to hunt the tricky birds myself and maybe even get lucky on some predators if my calls are inticing enough for the coyotes and red fox.
I've got a couple selfbows to build for friends this winter and several box calls I have to have completed before Christmas. It's only 5 months until Spring Turkey Season comes in here in Ohio. So, I'm pushing my limits a bit!
