Author Topic: Turkey Opener in OK With Snow Brad Norman Okie Dokie Member # 234 posted April 06, 2007 12:30 PM                    Turkey season opened up here today and it's snowing! It's the first time I've ever hunted turkeys in this kind of weather. The birds didn't act any differently. They were gobbling their nuts off and strutting around. I was lucky enough to kill a good tom. 10 inch beard and 1 1/2 inch spurs. That warmed me up a bit, but I was still ready to get back inside.

The weather here has been overcast for the past three days, the warm interior deserts sucking the marine layer inland. Good hunting. LB -------------------- EL BEE Knows It All and Done It All.

It really had nothing to do with the weather. Most okies are a little wimpy about the weather anyway, and then when you get an okie turkey hunter thats about as wimpy as it gets! -------------------- Violence may not be the best option....

It is about two weeks before the season opens here and I don't usually kill anything but I do make a lot of screechy scratchy noise out in the woods.

I am sure it was adventure you won't soon forget. -------------------- Carpe Diem Posts: 778 | From: Phx AZ | Registered: Oct 2003  |  IP: Logged Kelly Jackson SECOND PLACE/GARTH BROOKS LOOK-A-LIKE CONTEST Member # 977 posted April 06, 2007 08:12 PM                    Good job Brad..........but heck with the Turkeys..........I am going coyote huntin the morning..........it just ain't turkey hunting unless you have them damn buffalo knats trying to get thru your face mask......Kelly Posts: 997 | From: Comanche OK | Registered: Oct 2006  |  IP: Logged Brad Norman Okie Dokie Member # 234 posted April 07, 2007 10:49 AM                    That's funny 3 Toes. You sound just like an old friend of mine. I'll email you a pic Tim. I never could figure out how to post one on here. You have any turkeys down there Kelly? I'll call you on Mondday.

They are like the fabled eastern coyote. They are impossible to call, they weigh 60 lbs, and I'm pretty sure they are crossed with wolves. A turkey hunter just don't stand a chance up here. -------------------- Violence may not be the best option.... But it is still an option.

Maybe, but this guy ain't even from Texas. There is no good reason why Oakies have to take crap from anybody and everybody, better take him down a notch. Good hunting.

I thought he may be a friend of yours so I was trying to be polite. I sent him/her a personal message. I'll let you know if I get a response. I wouldn't mind hunting some of those Washington state turkeys however. Does Washington even have turkeys? A new poll may be in order: A new member wants to register. They are from the state of Washington. Should they be allowed? A. No B. Never C. Absolutely not D.

I managed to get one turkey slain with the bow in KS before the cold snap got there. The cold really shut them turkeys down. They're not breeding yet, BUT before the cold snap we were getting some called in. After the cold snap got there, we just about got shut out! I'll go back in a month to get my second tag filled, although I have to admit, I missed a bigger tom on the 2nd day! -------------------- Is it hunting season yet? I hate summer!

He tracked me down and called me on the phone. Never mess with an Okie turkey hunter I guess. Do you turkey hunters shoot them in the guts or in the lungs? A lung shot turkey can travel for miles, but if you shoot them in the guts they go right down. Never ever shoot one in the lungs if you want to recover it!
