The Jake Posse and then the Tom Tango.

turkey population is at a steady decline in NY for the last 10 years. I been thinking of heading to North Carolina for a week hunt.
I been looking into the Pisgah national forest, it looks like its steep, But i am open for any suggestions

I will be towing a small camper to shack up it, so a free camp site would Be a plus .
Should i be looking at game lands also? private land?
How much pressure does north Carolina see?

You welcome to seed me a private message if you can help with any info.

With turkey season fast approaching we made this video on shot placement and hope some of you will find it helpful. This is where we like to shoot turkeys with a bow based on our experiences. Thanks and let us know what you guys think !! https://youtu.be/LXCHaonCSas

Anyone have success with a electronic or string operated Turkey Decoy? Like the Mojo Quarter Pounder? Or tying fishing line to a decoy?

And if so, was it a certain time of the season or month?

So this year I’m trying something different. I am focusing on hunting in the woods and hunting turkeys like I do deer instead of hunting field edges exclusively. Just pick a spot and sit there for a long time.

It almost worked out the first try. I setup on the top of a steep ridge. It’s a tough walk but I always had trail cam pics of turkeys there so I figured I would give it a shot. Within an hour I had 4 jakes come in down the ridge. They saw the decoys and got scared and hung up just out of range.

While the jakes came in I had some toms and hens come in from below me. They were 40 yards away but did not come close enough for a shot. The same thing happened a little later with a few more toms. All the birds were responding to my calls, even the hens. But they wouldn’t come close enough for a shot.

I was using a decoy with a jake fan and a hen decoy. They saw the decoys but wouldn’t come in. In fact, I think had I not had he decoys I’d have at least gotten a shot at one of the jakes. Am I better off not using decoys in the woods?

I’ve taken several (23) turkeys with my bow over the years.. This year a friend says "try expandable heads".. So with some trepidation I except the challenge of using them.. He gives me some look a like rage something or other.. I have to say I’m amazed at the way expandable heads work on turkeys.. I shot this bird at 46 yards and he was stone cold DRT at the shot…. I hit just forward of the right thigh and smashed into the left wing bone.. just shy of 22lbs, 9in beard and 1 1/8 hooks.. Not to say my fixed heads wouldn’t have done the job, which they would have, hehehe. I was just amazed at the baseball hitting a 2×4 sound the arrow made when it hit the bird and the effectiveness of them.. I’m sold for turkeys..
