BEST TURKEY HUNTING IN NORTH AMERICA HERE IN TN.

[TheMacDaddy]

Guys,
I don't know any of you are aware of this, but Trousdale County here in Tennessee ranks as one of the best places to hunt turkey in the United States... With wild turkey populations soaring as high as the sky and adequate food plots and farm land available many people through out the United states travel to Trousdale cnty to hunt turkey... Beautiful area through Hartsville and Carthage with Cordell Hull lake nearby too...

We should all be proud of this acomplishment.....

Up here where I live I ain't seen but one Turkey in 20 years had his foot caught in a rock.

Up in these neck of the woods you can't walk 100 yards without seeing them darn turkeys.... Pretty soon they probably will have to open up season were shooting hens is legal... I'm not kidding the population up here is amazing... I go deer hunting, and I at least see 10 turkey's walking through.....

Hens are legal in the Fall season.

Big debate, which is better hand calls

Or mouth calls.

 

[TheMacDaddy]

Hand calls have been able to call bigger beards for me.

I'm down the road in Putnam County. I'd put my property against any in the country as far as number and size of birds. Gobblers over 25lbs is not uncommon at all, and thats with no agriculture anywhere close! On Several occassions this year we saw groups of a dozen long beards or more!

I say mouth call or diaphram. I dont have to put something down to shoot, plus I seem to be able to control pitch, volume, and even use more emotion with a mouth call, but they all work!

Some of the biggest turkey's are right off the edge of the roads in fields.. Last year, I was taking my son hunting, we seen bunch of hens in the woods, which are illegal to kill... We were driving home and there were 3 big gobblers standing on the side of the road.... One had to of been 25 lbs, it was ver tempting to shoot, and I know the land owner but we passed them by wishing we had seen them in the woods that morning...

I judge a bird by them hooks on his legs. Could care less how much he weighs or how long his beard is. If I'm working a bird I had rather have a call in my mouth. I will use my ole trusty "ole yeller" to locate a bird. Don't get after em like I use too got to fat and my ole knees hurt. Churly, that particular lake you will be visiting soon is loaded with birds.
