Fencesitters
« on: September 08, 2011, 11:19:00 AM »
Didn't know quite where to post this pic since it's not a hero shot or a trail cam pic. Our local turkey flock has had to deal with lot of wet weather this week so today, in between showers they decided to dry out on the fence in the front yard. This time next week they are legal game.

I'd pray for more rain and setup about 10 yards from that fence.

Great pic.  I went out to the stand Sat and the turkeys have started rousting in a dead tree about 15 yards from it.

Set up on one end or the other of the fence and get them ALL with one pass through arrow!!!!!!  Wait, there may be some backlash to that strategy, potentially from the Wildlife enforcement folks. Might want to re-think that.

Or pick out a big one and single him out.  

Great pic Bill, thanks and good luck next week.

Piggy: We have watched them since they hatched. Two mature females each with 6 young ones. They have managed to keep them all alive all summer. There are 3 big toms that show up on occaision so they are my real targets. As these get larger and the toms don't show up I'll give one of these the opportunity to make Thanksgiving special.

Gotta get me a section of split rail fencing to take with me on my next turkey hunt.  :bigsmyl:    :archer2:
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. TGMM ♥

Dave: I'de be hard pressed to shoot one so early in the season unless is was one of the bigger toms. These guys need another month to fatten up good...unless I get one of the big females. I saw two flocks today checking my hunting area and the polts were very very small. We have one other female that shows up occasionally with her brood of about 6 and they are very young...almost look like they were hatched about a few weeks ago.
