Ed Kennell 36,200 #1 Posted May 8, 2014 Had a great opening day on Sat. Got photos of some jakes and two year olds. Only saw one shooter longbeard, and he never got in range for a photo or a shot. Monday was a different story...This 3 year old 20 Lber with a 9" beard and 7/8" spurs came to the call like he was on a string at 8AM. Sorry , he didn't give me enough time to set the camera and get some live photos. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 36,200 #4 Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) i think he tried to headbutt a bullet Koen T'was actually 2oz of #6 lead shot at 1300 fps that did the deed. Can't use single projectile ammo here in Pa to hunt spring turkey. Edited May 8, 2014 by ekennell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boovuc 1,090 #5 Posted May 9, 2014 I was out opening weekend. Had them calling shortly after they came off the roost. Then some jerky tried to sneak up behind them on the back side of the ridge. After that, all I was concerned with were ticks and why I wasn't fishing! Too many jerkys for turkeys in my neck of the woods. Been shot at once and don't feel comfortable hunting them anymore. We have lots of birds in Southern Clinton County. But Spring is for trout! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 36,200 #6 Posted May 9, 2014 I hear ya on the jerkys Boo. I have had some bad encounters with them also while hunting and fishing. I now hunt and fish on 3000 acres of private land with 20 other members. There are usually no more than 10 of us on the property at any time. The only concern now is avoiding the grumpy rattlesnakes. No more crowds waiting for the pen raised fish and game to be released. I saw one area on the way home on Wed. that had such a big crowd waiting for the caravan of trout stockers that they had the local fire police out directing traffic around the 30+ parked vehicles .

boovuc 1,090 #7 Posted May 10, 2014 Wow! And it isn't like those stockies are going to hit anything right after they left their concrete home. I do miss them stocking our recently new designation "Class A Wild Trout Stream" at camp. It's tough for a kid to fish a wild trout stream. Especially in low clear conditions. By the way, there were three trucks parked across from camp this morning. All turkey hunters! Glad I wasn't in the woods! I was on the streams! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
