Super User Darth-Baiter Posted March 13 Super User Posted March 13 I am lukewarm on the idea. but I have a friend rabid to go, and I have permission on private land. looks like I will buy a tag and go. I would rather fish, I think. it would be cool to get him on his second bird ever. I got him his first. March 29 opener. I do however have some recipes in mind. hahahha Quote
Super User gim Posted March 13 Super User Posted March 13 Season is about a month away here in MN. I’m not sure what season I’ll go. Maybe season B or C. Nothing says spring like a thunderous turkey gobble that echoes across the countryside at dawn. Quote
Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted March 14 Global Moderator Posted March 14 I’m ashamed to admit I forgot about it until I saw a field of 50 or so last Friday. We’re still about a month away as well. I didn’t buy a tag for myself last year because I wanted to get my son his first but after plenty of losing battles to get his butt out of bed I’m buying my own this year and he’s buying his. That’ll teach him! 😂 1 Quote

Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted March 17 Global Moderator Posted March 17 They get up in the top of the trees between my house and the neighbors, always scares the crap out of me when they land up there. Sounds like Schwarzenegger heading to the chopper Quote

Very few people know this. Can’t count how many times I’ve heard someone ask “turkeys sleep in trees?” 1 1 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted March 18 Global Moderator Posted March 18 They’d sure know when they see and/or hear it, clumsy things. I would have swore there were 75 people or a dump truck going thru the woods the other day while fishing and it was a few turkeys kicking leaves and flying up into tree tops and then from one tree to the other, violent crash landings 😂 1 Quote
Super User Darth-Baiter Posted March 18 Author Super User Posted March 18 They sound like bombs shaking off sleep and dropping from the trees. They never come down directly. They glide out about a 100 yards depending on the tree height. 1 Quote
Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted March 18 Global Moderator Posted March 18 They can fly up to 55mph too, albeit for a very short time. And to think, that ugly bird was going to be our national bird. 😂 2 Quote
Super User Bird Posted March 18 Super User Posted March 18 They are starting to strut here, beautiful colors. Quote
