in WI they sell bonus tags fill as many as you purchase

I so wonder about 21K miles maybe got an extra 0 a the end 2100 would still be a good trip with time to walk 632 miles

or he included all his scouting miles over the year

he could have also used 1 of a different shell and just not said it

a friend of mine got his first turkey with a ball peen hammer he started tracking a wounded one when he saw it crossing the road to his brothers farm went out and caught it by hand had a turkey tag for that week so he registered it and ate it

even if some of the numbers are wrong it is a good story

Not hating at all, just not my style Swamp Wolf.

A lot of jumping to conclusions on this thread without having the facts or an understanding of regulations in lots of states also.

Yep you’re right.
It never happened.
Disregard.
It’s an impossible task.
I’ve learned my lesson.

In Montana you can get 1 tag that is good statewide, then you can get a tag that is good for only a specific region.
If you have a a statewide tag and a region tag you can fill them on the same day. I did that very thing 11 days ago.

And if you accidentally shoot two with one shot and it's not legal just report it to the DNR give them one and that's that. No fine for my friends daughter this year when she did just that. Of course she keep the biggest one. She is 13.

Swamwolf I'm not anti game laws game laws have their place and are needed. But not all game laws are good for the animals or people.

PF,

Bird seed aint turkey bait, cracked corn is put out for the deer, my land = my game, a lot of sunflower seed should be OK...

...I've spent nearly 30 years trying to explain fair chase and the North American model of wildlife conservation to people in southern Georgia.

Maybe you Indiana hunters/fishermen/trappers are more understanding.

Clay,
Im about to get on tractor too and head down to disk the chufa plot to hopefully get some volunteer regrowth. Looks like getting chufa seed is gonna be a problem this time. Had a bag ordered but they're a no-go, so far.

not saying it never happened , the one number is a little questionable and if it is all solid then even more amazing

had a guy type he split 1500 cord of wood a year one time , he really meant 150 cord but hit an extra zero when it was pointed out he realized he was an extra zero 150 cord a year is still a lot

my point was it is an amazing feat either way and a good inspiring story for people to chase their dreams of chasing birds

I cant afford fertilizer for the food plots. And getting the seed needed looks to be a challenge.

One of the Merriam’s we killed in Washington was loaded with sunflower seeds from some lake front homeowners bird feeder. We figured he was heading back up the mountain from his morning breakfast when we struck him.
Now the strange part is if I relied on feed here in Georgia to kill a turkey I’d be eating tag soup, lol. Deer feeders and 41 miles of feed trails and we’ve yet to find any scattered feed in any turkey killed. Did find out we have pecan trees on the property though, lol. One gobbler had 4 big ole VanDeeman’s in his craw. Found the trees and ended up catching a pile of hogs there.

we do have no over night parking so you can get a parking ticket in many places

I'm not sure. Regulation just says no uncased guns after 1pm during spring gobbler season. Would probably be easier to carry a gun case than a gun broken into multiple pieces.

ILCooner start a new thread on this topic, I’m interested, and will contribute. This thread started well but got burnt out, this guy apparently has drive for turkeys like Phil has for red fox! And is being discredited, shame. I like your question of reaping/blinds and decoys/run and gun, as an avid turkey hunter myself.

No decoys, no blinds, no reaping (fans) here. Calling and woodsmanship. I’ve hunted with a world champion turkey caller, and even he told me woodsmanship will kill more turkeys than any calling ever will. Of course this was after we set up one morning on a sure thing…and the birds went the other way, lol.

I like to turkey hunt however not at state hopping level. That state hopping requires a lot of time away from home and expense. I’m usually within a few miles of the house when hunting.
