My honest opinion: Youth season should be antlerless only. I think the original intent was a great idea. Giving kids a chance to hunt with family, in a low pressure atmoshere. It's turned into a huge buck hunt. It would be another way to tackle the population issue with deer.

Re: Antler Terminology 101: Sticker, Kicker, and D Thanks Adamo! I did not know that.

Besides all this kicker and sticker stuff, what about the G-1, G-2 etc.? If we're measureing TINES, why not T-1, T-2 etc.? What's the "G" stand for? Just curious.

Make sure you have your tag on ya'!

The best call might be no call on hung-up gobblers. It's hard to do, especially for me... I love to call. To keep calling lets the bird know you're still there, the silence "might" make him come investigate to see if that hen is still around. As usual in the Turkey woods it's all "if's" and...

Those are two of the nicest Toms I've ever seen, taken double style! Congrats! I hope that 29 pounder ends up in the Taxidermy's office!

I'll throw my bird in the mix. Got him Monday. 6:55A.M. at 17 paces. 23.1 lbs 1 in. spurs 10 in. beard.

I felt it unworthy!

Rule of thumb seems to be 100 yards for a distance from roosted birds. Closer would work too. Depends if you can get there without spooking the birds. Some will say NEVER call to a Tom in the tree. I usually can't resist, but when I do call I just do a few very light tree yelps, just to let him...

Is it a good season? You'll be in Iowa hunting turkeys, what could be better? One thing I will say, bring every stitch of clothing you have. Last year it was mid to upper 80's. The year before that it was 15 above with the wind chill.I've hunted 1st season 5 years now and it's never been the...

Kelcher, When shooting them on the ground with a shotgun comes as easy for me as it is for you,I'll dust off my bow! Spring hunting is the season I'm talking.

The board seems a little slow, so I thought I'd throw this out. This topic is hot on another board. Would you do it if legal? What do think about the ethics involved?

Kelcher, How much beer up at the cabin will that plug for the Ghost Gobblers cost me?

IADeerhunter, Actually I've attended a few of your banquets, I still get an early bird letter from "ya. I think my wife feels I spend enough money at our banquet. Thanks for the invite, and back at 'ya with an invite to you to come out to Mt. Vernon for our banquet. Good luck and good hunting.
