I do it myself unless there is an appt at the vet coming up, then I pay the 10 bucks to let them do it. I have a clipper and my dog lets me, albeit with a little bit of resistance. A lot of this is dependent on the dog's temperament. Some dogs will absolutely not allow it, and get aggressive...

I agree, scouting is very important. Maybe the most important factor. I do it every spring before I go hunting when I am out seeking permission to hunt. The main thing I am looking for is the roost. Once I locate that, then a lot of guess work falls into place. Turkeys are birds of routine...

Ya I get it I could post all kinds of fake info too but I know better than that

Runners? Sneakers? Hard flyers? These things act more like domesticated poultry than wild pheasants.

Haha and then it was 77 degrees less than a week later and all of that white stuff is completely gone already.

I think this is the point being made here. It might have its place, but it's just not hunting. And anyone who thinks it is, is just fooling themselves.

This one aged well. The snow that was up to my waist in some areas a week ago is completely gone now. We're back on track for spring.

I agree, game farms are good for training a young dog because they are dumb and slow. It guarantees success and that's what you need when you are trying to introduce a new dog to it: lots of exposure. I did it 14 years ago with my current dog and it helped. I would never go there and then...

Turkeys cannot see at night. That is a fact. You can look it up in any science document or ask a wildlife biologist. That's why they sleep in trees. There may be an element to their vision where they can detect movement in the dark or see in front of them like we can, but they are daylight...

I'm willing to dry new recipes and preparations of it. But I will not be plucking one again

lol no you didn't offend me. I've tagged 10 turkeys in 18 seasons now and have yet to find a way I enjoyed eating it. I wouldn't call it "bad" but I don't enjoy it either. It's just very blah. It tastes like nothing. One time a friend smoked one for me and that was slightly better. But I...

Wild turkeys cannot see in the dark, just a FYI. Their vision is top notch in daylight, but they are borderline line blind at night. I don't set up my blind right on top of the roost. I set it up a ways out. Obviously I'm trying to avoid having to walk right past the roost to get to my...

No they don't. If I served wild turkey at Thanksgiving, no one in my extended family would show up. lol

Well now there's two of us Wild turkey is not anything I'd want to consume more than once a year.
