Tips on Turkey Hunting – How To Know When To Move In On A Turkey

By on January 25, 2010

As any turkey hunter can tell you, turkeys can move a lot quicker (and a lot smarter) than many people give them credit for. Any a “perfect shot” has been lost when a hunter tries to move in on a turkey at the wrong moment or when the hunter tries to make a fast adjustment to a new move made by the bird. If you want your turkey hunting trip to end in success, then the most important thing you can do is learn the right time to move in on a turkey.

First things first: you have to attract the turkey in to you. Most of the time, at least one turkey will answer your calls, and the first part of moving in on a turkey involves listening to this turkey answering your calls and judging where the bird is by where the calls are coming from. At this point, it is important to know you shooting ability and from what distance you are capable of taking shots. Knowing your shooting habits will help you determine when you are ready to take a shot and when you need to move in a little bit closer. Of course, the distance at which you are capable of taking a shot will also determine the distance you will need to cover when you move in on the turkey you have in your sights.

Knowing how close you need to be to the turkey to take a shot is one part of calculating your perfect approach to the turkey is one part of making the perfect move. The other part is all about learning to judge the behavior of the turkey and being ready to react to it. Every hunter has experienced the scenario in which they have been calling to a turkey, and getting tons of returned calls from the bird, when all of the sudden everything goes quiet, and then the turkey suddenly pops up next to you. To try and avoid letting the turkey sneak up on you, make sure you key in to all of the sounds the bird is making – not just the calls. Calls can give you an idea of the turkey is at, but it is also important to listen for the sound of the turkey’s feet crunching on branches or the shaking of leaves as the turkey moves by. Putting all of these sounds together will help you keep track of the turkey’s location more precisely.

When you’re planning your move on the turkey, it is a good idea to stay in a position in which you are ready to shoot and ready to move quickly if the turkey suddenly breaks left or right. Squat down with your left shoulder pointed in the direction of the turkey (if you are left handed, go for your right shoulder). Keep your gun propped up against that shoulder with your head low, near the stock as through you were about to take the shot. You’ll be ready to react whatever happens from this position.

If you end up needing to creep up a little bit more, make all of your moves when you cannot see the turkey’s eyes. If you can’t see their eyes, they can’t see you. Of course, you will want to move as quietly as possible – any loud noise will scare the turkey away.

Last but not least, remember that safety comes first. A turkey might pull a fast one on you, but be sure to think before you react. A clear shot is the only one worth taking.

Common Sense Turkey Hunting Tips for the Autumn Season

By on January 25, 2010

For most turkey hunters, springtime hunting is where it is. Autumn is a busy time for hunters – it is deer season, upland hunting season, waterfowl hunting season – the list goes on and on. For that reason, most hunters put off the turkey hunting until the spring, but this fact can make autumn turkey hunting very satisfying. Hunting turkeys during the fall is less crowded, and you’ll have less competition for the birds. Add to that the fact that autumn tends to be turkey eating seasons, and you can see how forgoing the deer hunting for a little turkey hunting in the fall can be a very good thing.

Turkey hunting in the fall is an altogether different beast than spring turkey hunting, and it can be quite a bit more challenging. In the spring, the male turkeys are on the prowl, looking for a hen, so it can be fairly easy to lure one away from the pack by making hen calls. In the fall, the male turkeys aren’t so interested in the hens and instead tend to roam around in packs together (likewise for the hens, of course, but hunting mature male turkeys is preferable). Separating these groups can be a little bit more difficult and requires a different approach than spring turkey hunting.

When you are hunting in the autumn, it is best to stick to a certain progression of activities. The ideal situation is to stumble upon a pack of male turkeys and take position hidden from view. When you are out of eyeshot of the turkeys, preferably at least 100 yards away from them start trying to call them in to you. Now, it is important here to not make hen calls as you would in spring hunting. You instead want to make the kinds of gobbles that male turkeys make – these gobbles are usually slower and lower pitched than the hen gobbles. What you want to do here is lure on turkey away from the pack. Sometimes, however, this plan backfires. You may end up luring the entire pack, which is not ideal for taking a clean shot, and sometimes you may end up luring in a hen. If you bring in a hen, run her away. If you bring in the entire pack, you will need to take a different tact.

If the whole pack of male turkeys moves in on you, or if they do not respond to your calls, you need to go on to plan B. Instead of trying to call the turkeys, scatter the pack. You can do this by rushing up on them making loud noises, or you can use a turkey hunting dog that is trained to scatter (you don’t want the dog to chase them too far away once they scatter). The object here is to split up the pack and then call in a turkey that has not reattached to the group. Once the turkeys are scattered, wait around 15 minutes, and then start your calls again, trying to call in that lone bird. If the turkeys seem to be running too far away, start the calling sooner, but waiting a little bit is ideal.

At this point, it is simply a matter of waiting. Because the turkeys aren’t trying to mate like they are in the spring, they are a little less motivated to respond to calls. You may have to repeat the scatter and call routine a few times before one takes the bait. For most autumn turkey hunters, however, this is the fun part. You have the woods to yourself and you can take your time and enjoy the thrill of the hunt.

Turkey Hunting Strategies – Defensive Hunting of Turkeys

By on January 25, 2010

Turkey hunting is a favorite activity for many hunters, but it is also just about the most dangerous kind if hunting around. Think of the strategies you have to use to successfully hunt a turkey – you have to hide yourself from view and try your best to sound like a turkey – while you are surrounded by turkeys returning your calls and other hunters who are also trying to sound like turkeys. On a busy day, it can be hard for hunters to tell the difference between the sound of the turkeys and the sounds of their fellow hunters, and if you are especially convincing, the hunter could soon find themselves becoming the hunted, as other hunters take aim in your direction. To stay safe out there while hunting turkeys, there are a few strategies you can follow.

First and foremost, don’t be lax about wearing the proper vests. Most states require hunters to wear bright orange vests over their camouflage, but many hunters dislike the rule – after all, what is the point of camo if you are going to top it off with something bright and orange? These vests have saved many lives, however, and are well worth the hassle. If your state doesn’t have any laws requiring that you wear an orange vest, and you want to find a balance between your camo and the safety provided by the vest, check out the camo vests that are part camo and part bright orange removable paneling. You should also pair this vest with a ballistic vest under your clothes that will protect your chest and stomach for stray shotgun bullets.

It is also important to never wear the colors red, white or blue when hunting a turkey. White is the same color as the ball of fur on top of a mature male turkey’s head, and a flash of white can draw a shot. Red and blue are the colors that hunters use to tell the difference between the male gobble and the hen – males have red head and female heads are blue.

When you are calling a turkey in a crowded hunting area, stick to the hen calls. Making male gobbler calls is what many hunters like to do when hunting in the fall especially, but since everyone is on the prowl for a male, your calls will attract even more attention from your fellow hunters. Even when you are making hen calls, pay close attention to the activities of other hunters. If you seem to have drawn someone’s attention, make sure you alert them to your presence by calling out to them.

If you do find yourself in the crosshairs of another hunter, calling out to them is a good way to disrupt them, but you should never jump up to announce your presence. When they are creeping up on your thinking that they have a bead on a turkey, your sudden movement may caused them to fire on you.

In addition to keeping yourself safe, you have a responsibility for the safety of other hunters. Even if you have taken every safety precaution necessary, always assume that every hunter out there is a first time hunter who has not taken a single precaution. Never fire until you are absolutely sure that you have a turkey in your sights and you have a completely clean shot. Do not take a shot when you hear or see movement but can’t see what has made it – it only takes one wrong shot for a tragedy to happen, and it is better to lose the turkey than to be responsible for the injury or death of another hunter.

Spectacular Skydiving

By on January 25, 2010

In California we witness spectacular skydiving .Wearing a variety of brightly coloured wingsuits the intrepid participants successfully achieved the unlinked, slot-specific formation required for the US record.

The 68 skydivers had to qualify in order to be part of the jump over Lake Elsinore, California, just as if you want to enter in golf  PGA Tour,you should accept strictly trainning with your callaway.

While the FAI (Federation Aeronautique International) does not recognise wingsuit records, the organisers hope that the growing popularity of this form of skydiving will lead to official world records being set in the near future.

Wingsuits allow skydivers greater freedom for movement while in freefall, making large scale formations easier. Airfoils are created by the flaps, with the resulting gliding affect comparable to a flying squirrel. The result was a spectacular kaleidoscope of colour against the white clouds which hung above them.

After days of rehearsals the 68 participants, from 16 different countries, were flown up to 13,000ft in four otter planes before jumping out above the scenic Lake Elsinore. Falling for over a minute the four groups effectively came together in mid air, assembling in the vital diamond formation.

The event was hosted by the Raise the Sky non-profit organisation, founded in 2009. The charity hopes to have a money raising goal associated with each jump, the proceeds of the Lake Elsinore jump going to the charity City Year.

This sport is beneficial for all. I also want to become a member of them?i can touch sky very closely and feel freedom. frankly speaking, i can feel freedom when i play golf outside,whether you also like golf,if so, there are golf clubs for sale.

happy day!
