Who's gonna shoot one this fall

Who is going to shoot one if you get the chance during archery season, and who is going to go with a shotgun during fall turkey season and try to kill a couple? Count me in as usual. goal #1 is a longbeard (never kilt one in fall) and goal #2 is no poults. Yeah it's hard to tell sometimes. Also need a couple hens for the wing bones to make calls. Who's in? Before you say "it's not the same as spring" I know that, it's FALL season. So who is in?

So you shoot spotted fawns but draw the line at shooting poults?

ain't much meat on a poult, not worth it to me personally, but a fawn has the best meat
 
im going taking my oldest son out ,pulled camera pics the other day, when I drove in they were all over the place. i don't usually fall hunt, changing gears this year and doing things different. all about the fun for him hope we smoke a few !!
 
I killed my first one Saturday. It was a small hen, but I was tickled. I though about keeping the wings for a call, but she was covered in ticks.

You only use the bones inside. Ticks won't hurt a thing. Send em my way.

yep just cut the first three bones out or just boil the wings and then you can eat the meat (its good) and clean out the marrow and bleach em just a little, cut to fit together, superglue, and finish.
 
I know the bones wouldn't be affected. I just didn't feel like handling the bird any more than I had to. The call would have been rather, ahem, high pitched if you know what I mean.

Thanks for the comment. That is one of the best about hunting in TN. During bow season turkey are fair game. 3rd year in a row for me. I�m not big fan of �deer calls� except a grunt once in a while. But I have found that a few �clucks� now and again tend to keep the deer close by. Confidence builder, if deer hear turkey they tend to thing the area is safe. Well works for me. I�ll even set out a few decoys. When stalking during the daylight make like a turkey scratching around.
