    Default Great Ways to NOT kill a Gobbler

    I'll start off with a few ways to up your odds of NOT killing a gobbler or better your odds of going home empty handed this spring.

    1. The most obvious is DON"T go turkey hunting. Glad we got that one out of the way.
    2. Don't bother scouting or trying to pattern some birds.
    3. By all means make absolutely sure if you got something that itches, scratch it.

    I've got a lot more of these but I don't want to be an experience hog on this topic.

    Let's here some more!

    When you call, and get a gobbler to gobble, wait until he gobbles the SECOND time and commits before calling again...or NOT...lol.
    Never take your safety off the gun, even if D-man is telling you PRIOR to the doubled bearded gobbler getting to within inches of your gun....
    Never go hunting with an experienced hunter, what do them old guys from Mississippi know anyway...LOL......(shot at Rhino) aka the Silver Fox
    Never stay awake when the action picks up....esp. mid morning...best time to sleep...lol
    Never pattern your gun....dont do it...lol
    ,
    Thats all for now...lol.......al

    LMBO at Dman.

    Here's 2 more (1 from my early days).

    No mater what happens when a gobbler seems to be getting closer make sure your gun stays in the most comfortable position possible. Don't bother trying to get ready before he appears. You can outdraw a dumb bird with a pea size brain.

    Never empty your bladder between set ups, especially if you had a couple of cups of coffee before daylight.

    to add........
    Always listen to the weather man, if he even mentions rain or wind, stay on the porch.
    Get married in the spring.
    Be greedy with your turks.
    Quit hunting at 9 am, just like those deer hunters
    If he don't come in, give up.
    Never hunt in the afternoon.
    Never try to roost a bird.

    Invite a PETA member! and if he won't go, maybe an E.L.F. idiot. Might leave that one in the woods, though.

    don't bring any water on a hot day so you get dehydrated and want to throw up (last year)

    leave your cell phone on so your wife can call you right when the gobbler is in range (haven't done that)

    Sit right down in the sun facing the tree or pick the tree the bird is roosting in, sit down and call real loud right at daylight.
