    They brine it then smoke it. It turns out nice. Works perfect in a pie. I’d definitely recommend giving it a try. I’ve not asked if they do anything besides smoking turkey.

    Yeah, had to get the bird cleaned up in time to drop it off at Maplewood Meats for smoking before they closed (2 pm) for the weekend. They’ll smoke it, halve it on the band saw, and then vac seal each half. He’ll eventually turn in to six smoked wild turkey pot pies. Also had an order of...

    This photo illustrates that bold move pretty well. I initially set the blind with the front corner where the turkey is at in the photo. All that old slash is what made the move such a cluster. The birds came down the edge of the trees in the grass and the Tom was about to step in to the...

    So, the story got a bit disjointed as this went from a live thread to a dead thread. We moved the blind back and then I made post #20 a bit later. Posts #22 and #23 provided some detail and filled in some gaps. Back to the action - I sat there while he slept and called off and on to the birds...

    I’ve seen some like that lead to lead poisoning.

    Favorite turkey calls

    Some form of mouth call. Hands free, easy to use, sounds decent, easy to pack, etc. Cuttin 2.5 usually. That said, I sealed the deal on one today with a slate.

    The blue arrow above is where an old logging exits the wood lot. The bulk of the birds were roosted just to the right of that blue arrow; within 100 yards or so of our set up. Another Tom was roosted in the big oaks behind the red arrow, about 175 yards away. The birds flew down in to the...

    View from my Dad’s truck. Red is the blind and blue is the birds at 60 yards..

    Well my Dad is in the truck just over a half mile away. He says he can see a few strutters 60ish yards from us just up the wood line. I can hear the hens yelping and the occasional bar fight breaking out. Meanwhile there is one consistently gobbling about 300ish yards away on the backside of...

    The Tom at 70 yards - taunting us first thing in the morning. The set up.

    They left. He had the green light at 60. Got to 71. I thought for sure with the DSDs one would come walking right in. No such luck. Unfortunately my Jake rotated a bit and was looking right at the Tom - I don’t think that did us any favors.

    Toms at 70-80 yards - hens aren’t coming this way. They flew down in to the field at around 80-90 yards. One moved a bit closer and a couple moved off a bit.

    4 gobblers within 100. Let’s hope they come this way. Feeling better about the spot/set-up.

    We’re set in plenty of time. I’m not confident in the spot/set-up.

    WOW - that hurt. And to add insult to injury, I’ve had to come up with a plan B. We’ve got a small flock roosted, but I’ve never had good luck killing birds out of this 40 acre wood lot. I feel like the spots to kill them are the fields on the south and west sides where we dont have...
