Favorite animal to hunt and why

[Feesherman]

I agree fully with Top Dawg. Specks and mallards are easy. They are easy to call and easy to kill. Turkeys are a lesson in frustration. Your competition is live hens and day in and day out the hens will win. But when you finally get that gobbler to come in, nothing beats it! Just nothing. If turkey season was during duck and goose season, I would give up ducks and geese!
Years ago we had access to a farm in Thornwell. We had 4 flambeau speck shells with no stakes. We sat on a levee, called in our specks and was usually drinin beer by 8. If you can call specks they are not difficult to kill. Same with mallards, das why everyone loves mallards. They are easy to dupe and easy to kill.

Yup. Das my point. Have killed limits of specks in waist high grass with no decoys before. But gettin one on one with that Tom having several run ins with him only to be defeated by him. Getting to know him by name and after several frustrating weeks he stands in your sights rattlin your bones with his hair raising gobbles.

I'd be happy to teach, but it'd have to be your land and your turkeys. I hunt public, so I have to compete with hens AND other people. I cannot divulge my areas.

As far as favorite thing to hunt.....Turkey---- and Deer are a close second for me.

If you would like to experience hearing a big Tom sound off at daylight and shake the leaves, I could probably do that for you. It would have to be on public land sometime in mid March.

That sounds good to me. I usually wait until March to do some scouting. Contact me then and we can make plans to go.
