You know your a turkey hunter when.

Even in the off season your walking through the woods and you hear a crow call and you stop dead still and wait for that faint gobble.


I was going home from work yesterday and was practicing with my turkey call not paying attention to anything. Well I pulled up to the red light in Lumber City and was cutting and purring away and looked over at the truck next to me and the guy and his girlfriend (wife) was laughing their heads off. So after feeling 12 kinds of stupid I pulled right into the store, well they followed me in. The guy was still laughing and said you know I am glad I saw you doing that. He said because now I know there is someone else out there just as into turkey hunting as me. That got me to thinking about some of the dumb things us turkey hunters do, So some of you guys chime in on some crazy things that you have done over the years.

I always have a mouth call in when I'm in my truck. When people walk by in the school parkinglot they tend to look hahah

In highschool I would hunt before school and normally would skip a couple classes. I'd strip down and change right there in the parkinglot hahah  had a chemistry techer that loved me because I told her I left a bird gobbling to come take her test lol

I was at a red light in my hood and there were some wild but domestic birds in the yard i gobbled at them and then went crazy the lady in the yard was not pleased it was funny.

At our ild deer elase, we had domestic turkeys in the camp yard.

One member had won a true mouth calling contest that spring so he was showing off how "good" he was by making two old toms gobble every two minutes.

Everyone was ooohhhing and awwweeing at his abilities, when I got tired of it, walked out on the porch and hollered BOOM..... they gobbled everytime I made a loud noise........ he did not look so much like a "super pro" after that.

One year I talked my wife into traveling six hours up the road with me. I told her that we were going to go spend the weekend at my parents because it was mothers Day that Sunday. We packed up and left the house at 5;00 p.m. friday night and headed to North Carolina. Got to my parents at 11:00 p.m. When I went in the bedroom to set the alarm clock she asked why I was setting it. I told her I was going hunting in the morning, it was the last day of the season. Make a long story short I went and killed a hen with a 7" beard. Now everytime we take a trip she ask me when is turkey season for whereever we are going.
