Title: Scouting!
Post by: devil-man on Apr 09, 2005, 05:06:24 AM
This Spring is looking very promising here in WNY. The weather is cooperating, too.
I have been hiking all over the hills around here and finally found a few roost sites.
That's exactly what I was looking for!

Hey Bobman- You wanna try a double?

i love turkey but disagree on the good weather the warmer it is sooner the sooner they will be mateing and the sooner they will be done but the first week will be great i usually have both my birds by then anyway hopefully the streak continuesim trying a new spot this year but as long as i can roost em i can kill em if ill be in for alot of walking and calling

Hey Arch-
Remember I said I got a permit for the E side of Letchworth?
That's what the lady on the phone told me.
The actual piece of paper came today, and it's for the West!
I'm psyched!!!

Screw trout fishing.  I'm going after the damn birds.
I know where they live, and I know where they will die.

well just scout me out a good spot and ill be there on the 1st lol
Title: Re: Scouting!

no need to scout. birds are always there. never run out of property to hunt when there is 900acres to run around on. besides i have been hunting the same spot for  20yrs and i get one just about every year.

sounds good maybe one day when you get home from work for a couple hours after the derby
Title: Re: Scouting!
Post by: spiker2 on Apr 13, 2005, 09:16:15 AM
we will need to do it soon. the season starts the following sunday after the derby. i normally get home around 4:30- 5pm during the week and there is alot of property to scout. hopefully they are using the same areas for feeding and dusting that i know of. if so this will make it very easy for us. ;D

Title: Re: Scouting!
Post by: archbishop on Apr 13, 2005, 10:00:01 AM
sounds good to me but youll have to dig up your mother in law from the dump to babysit lol
are there good oak trees up there ive only been to the other side of the hill (state land side)
Title: Re: Scouting!
Post by: spiker2 on Apr 13, 2005, 10:17:09 AM
im gonna take you to the farm that i hunt. we will be no where near the state land. besides i won't need the mother in-law to baby sit. the wife picks them up after she gets out of work. this is a pretty good set up and i also have access to the property that borders the farm. the one property is the hunting club that i am a member of and the guy on the other side is a close freind to the family and have been hunting that property also for many yrs.

charlie will be ok with it as long as you are with me. i will introduce you to him if he is there. this is his dads old farm and he runs his grain buisness out of it only. the mom is still around but she is very old and does not remember anybody anymore. he has his own place off trollbridge rd on 16 going towards olean. that is another big farm. he said i can hunt there also but i like this place better. not as much preasure.
