Congrats man, nice bird!

Did you use a mouth call? I have not been able to master those things, I need more practice but my wife tends to kick me out of the house every time I practice Very Happy

Primos box call, I have mouth calls but I just can't get them to sound right, box calls sound awesome and are so easy to use.

Hey dude, don't forget the gizzard next time too. It's really easy to clean, slice it "hotdog" bun wise, wash out the grit and peel off the rough sand papery membrane on the inside. Good stuff, I take it from quail all the time.

Ahh, man I thought I used just about everything I could!

And the liver too, is good but if you are not going to eat that......and I don't know what all the controversy is over using parts for other things such as crab bait, but the offal is great for exactly that!

Yea I saved the liver, I was under the impression all the edible parts were great for giblet gravy.

Nice gobbler and great pic! Way to go on public land, too. I could've bagged one about 25 yards from my house yesterday but didn't want to go to jail LOL. Congrats!

Airguns are now an acceptable method of take, and many areas have no regs on them. Turkeys can get bad in populated areas...haha I hit people up all the time when they complain about them. WOULD LOVE to get permisson to hunt the golf course up here!

Supposedly in East Bay wild turkeys are becoming a big problem... wild pigs/boars are supposedly becoming a big problem as well.

I've recently done a lot of research looking up biologist studies on the land/water I'm using, it is AMAZING the amount of work they done that translates into finding my quarry.

I recently found out that a huntable area in Amador county has some what of a wild pig boom.

This. Turkeys combined with deer are now the most commonly seen wildlife in my area (Berkeley-Richmond). They experience so much protection that now they are overwhelming the other smaller herbivores. They are nice to look at, however!

In the article I read it said that both turkeys and pigs were imported species... Pigs are far worse because they rip up all the ground cover in areas they forage which, if on a hill, means mudslides next time it rains.

Turkeys are so thorough in their foraging that they essentially remove all non-venomous insects from the turf in areas they are eating.

I had an entire flock of those things come after me when I was showing a vacant house in Pinole to some clients. I guess I invaded their turf or something..... Needless to say the clients passed on the house Smile
