Not sure his family was wealthy. His parents were teachers. They escaped to Miami initially where his father became a milkman and his mother worked in a HS cafeteria. Eventually they found work at UM before moving to South Texas where my friend opened a sporting goods store that’s now been in business for 45 years.

Turkey calls are like anything else. The more you pay, the better they usually sound and perform….and some of that performance is how easily you can make a quality yelp. More expensive pot calls seem to have a larger sweet spot and are less forgiving of bad striker angles.

If you have a box, I would suggest moving to a slate/glass/alluminum pot call. You can yelp, cut and purr on one with a little practice.

And always remember…the mouth call is the greatest turkey conservation tool ever invented.
Have a personal friend who grew up in Cuba and escaped prior to Castro. He is excited over the prospect of the US intervening there.

No horror stories from here in Louisiana. So much of it depends on what you’re trying to achieve. Quality wildlife habitat or financial reward. While you can achieve both, normally wildlife habitat requires cutting more trees than some landowners want.

Be sure to share with your consultant what your goals for the property are.

LOL!

I once had to chase down a monster Wisconsin gobbler I shot with an old muzzleloader. When I caught up to him I launched myself on him as he was still running. Of course he wiggled away from me leaving me with every one of his tail feathers. Took about an hour but we eventually found him.
Yes, we were responsible. No, it wasn’t one of our missiles. It was launched within the city. We jammed it causing it to hit the school.

I used to get caught in that stuff hunting in the upper Midwest. It would get stuck in my clothes and take forever to pick it out. LOL

Thanks for sharing your story!

Would be interesting to know how many first pitch strikes the team has watched this season.
