And this feeder isnt even my main turkey spot the spot i have that they are really thick the camera just got put on last weekend so it will be interesting to see that one. The main spot is right behind a roost.

Looks like my place near Kerrville. Never thought I would say it but there are SO many they are "almost" a nuisance.

I call them CORN VACUMNS !!!

I'll shoot four this Fall, Take my .22 to the blind with me snipe em

yeah. I have 2 seperate groups with between 15-18 and then 3 smaller groups with 7-8 on top of some loaner males. I will be taking my shotgun with me into the blind during deer season because they come by the blinds on the way to the feeders so i should easily get my four also. I agree with the vaccum statement 100% kind of like javalenas

Looks like you have the fence line covered... Do you hunt both sides of it?

Re: Im covered up i turkeys - 10/17/14 08:45 PM

yes it is a cross fence on the property both sides are our lease. The blind actually straddles the fence. I was waiting to see if anyone was going to ask about that

I've hunted ranches with cross fences and they can be really productive locations up

SO i have little to none experience in hunting turkeys but from what i can tell and help me out please these 2 turkeys on the right of each of these photos are good looking toms correct. I am basing this on beard length and relative size compared to the others.

Man I'd die if I had those numbers of birds around on my area. Bow-hunting turkey hunter's dream right there.

On my place in oklahoma I see turkey's every hunt! And usually see them in 2 or 3 different spots when driving around checking feeders.
