3/12 YOUTH HUNT

FloridaCracker — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 09:42:41 GMT

The short story is my grandson missed. The long version, the one with the excuses, is much better.
I have been lucky enough to take both of my sons, four nephews and two niece's on their first hunts and get turkeys to them and now my grandson. Four of them closed the deal the rest either missed or got gobbler fever and never got off a shot. Here are a few of the lesson's that I learned, grandson's need to sit with their Grampa and let Dad do the calling, Pa's are more patient. Little people don't walk very fast "or quietly either". Sit the kid between your legs, They are short and don't see what you see and this puts their ear close to your mouth. They don't recognize drumming. You also are able to help hold the gun still and be sure they are ready to shoot when the time comes and you can hear their breath shaking when they try to inhale with their heart way up in their throats. Bring your camera there is no moment like the first one. There are surely more but Grampa's don't remember everything.
We got set up with me behind doing the calling, there were two gobblers cutting up and the two year old satalite came right on in, we were in an open river slough (pronoused slew in north Floridian). The slew was too open it turns out. Ross got to figeting and not holding his gun still enough and got picked off at about 35 steps. When the putting started his dad told him to shoot and it was too far for the 20 gauge or he missed. Either way no turkey. We did go get the Lab and come back and search with her but no luck so we are hopeing it was a miss. Reguardless it was a lot of fun and maybe we got the bugs worked out because there is still a whole season ahead.
Here's hopeing everyone has a great season, be safe and have fun

I won the Gun!!

kershawbuck — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 20:31:39 GMT

NWTF called me today and told me I was the winner of a HR 20 gauge pump . I was so surprised when they called and I told them it was so AWESOME!! LOL .. Now my daughter has a gun to use on youth day in three weeks!

Ol' Tom

jyoung — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 10:31:14 GMT

Any of you guys add any new gear this year to your Ol' Tom collection? I picked up an outfit in Mossy Oak Bottom Land for early season and the new Time & Motion I-beam time Turkey vest. The new Dura-Lite material is awesome. It dries very fast, we got soaked this past weekend on the youth hunt and before we got back to the truck I was dry!

Hog Calls

Barry Estes — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 13:26:51 GMT

I have really gotten into hog hunting the past few years and have had some success with hog calls. But, the ones on the market are fair at best. I sure wish ya'll would make one with the awesome quality of your deer grunt call. Some people say hog calls are not effective. I personally called up over 15 pigs last year. The most effective method for me is to drop the sow in her tracks and call the young pigs back in. Sort of like a hen turkey calling her young back into the flock.

A realistic young pig squeal call would be an awesome call as well.

Sponsorship

outdoor adventure team — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 17:07:47 GMT

Hi, I am speaking on behalf of the Outdoor Adventure Team. We are a hunting corporation looking to spread our name world wide. Members of the team are going to college for film editing and looking to make a living in the hunting corporation. We have a website with multiple edited HD turkey hunts and more. Which are also found on youtube. Any way while we gradually climb the pole of success it is always easier with sponsors. Also it is always another way for business's such as Woodhaven calls to increase an already well run business. We have used your calls before and would be willing to promote your products. More so than they already are. If you were any way interested in sponsoring us with some products we would be more than happy to help you grow as a company as well. Because what is the goal of every business? To make money, and with the amount of footage we get and viewers we might be able to increase that. Check us out on the web at www.outdooradventureteam.com

Hi Guys

Chief Many Longbeards — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 12:46:57 GMT

howdy, fellow turkey fanatics.
i found this forum after ordering a legend glass call.
was so impressed with the sound that i ordered a walnut real hen box and a couple mouth calls.
i am a veteran (meaning aarp eligible) turkey hunter from west central illinois who has been chasing toms for 20 years.
this looks like a knowledgable place.
good luck to everybody this spring. i am counting the days til opening day april 10.

BPS Spring Hunting catalog

Chris Downs — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 22:29:48 GMT

Just got my Bass Pro Spring Hunting catalog and didn't see anything new, or much of anything from Woodhaven in there. Did it just come out before new stuff has been released or is Woodhaven not coming out with anything new this year? Either way, no biggie, I've still got to catch up from not buying alot of new stuff last year...haha(still gotta pick up the New Energy Pack). Just curious.
