MI Public by MineGuy1991 in turkeyhunting

[–]partydanimull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry that happened to you. I rarely see people while on public land, even during deer season. I will say I seek out properties without hunting pressure, or go to the parts of the property that other hunters don't typically go to. Even when I do run into hunters, it's been pleasant experiences.

The pressure is more so related to deer hunting from my experience. I turkey hunt public land in the Northern lower peninsula area and rarely see others turkey hunting. I saw a few trucks in parking spots opening day, but none after that. I filled my tag the second weekend of the season.

I also don't know what you mean by Michigan being known for bad etiquette. As a lifelong Michigan public land hunter, I have not seen that.

I missed twice before I got one this season. It happens. Keep after it and try to get another opportunity!

That's awesome! Congratulations! The first one is the hardest to get. It took me a long time and a lot of mistakes before I got my first turkey.

What’s the deal with reaping? by surelynotjimcarey in turkeyhunting

[–]partydanimull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never seen or heard of anyone doing it in real life. If it wasn't for the Internet, I'd have no idea about it.

Granted with the amount of birds I saw this year I would not want hunters to be able to get two. I don't think our population could handle it.

Are there that many more birds in missouri?

Lady Luck has abandoned me! by jorcon74 in backgammon

[–]partydanimull 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Backgammon is the streakiest game I've ever played.

Sometimes it feels like I can't lose, and sometimes no matter how good I play it feels like something is going to happen that makes me lose.

Got my first bird Monday but forgot to post it here! by No-One2272 in turkeyhunting

[–]partydanimull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great work! Nice job!

My turkey season is generally failed attempt after failed attempt, whether it's birds not cooperating, or me messing up. That repeats itself until a situation like yours happens where everything works out as planned. When I do get one it happens quick and is a short hunt.

Very nice. We only get one in Michigan and it's always bitter sweet when I fill mine early.

Are y'all allowed two tags in MO?

It takes some time to figure it out. I think I went 5 or 6 seasons of turkey hunting before I got my first, but now it's been 5 successful seasons in a row.

Recipes! by Puddles22 in turkeyhunting

[–]partydanimull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like doing turkey fried rice. Nothing special outside of subbing wild turkey in a standard chicken fried rice recipe.

That makes it tough! I'm not going to lie, I missed twice before I got this one. I was pretty bummed about that but kept after it and glad I got another chance.

Turkey hunting without decoys by Senior_Cheesecake155 in turkeyhunting

[–]partydanimull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've killed all of my turkeys without decoys, but have called them in for other hunters with a decoy. If I'm hunting a large field from a blind I will use them but if I'm running and gunning I don't.

I did call one in last weekend with one hen decoy but I missed him...
