They can only trap on private property here in Az.

Don't get me wrong, the beginning of the hunt is really good as well because they are all going crazy. Lots of the smaller birds will be shot in the beginning hunts, we shot long beards this year but they were only about 2-3 year birds. There are some real big boys out there! These big boys are generally with the hens because they have already fought off the smaller jakes and Toms. The hens will allow the Tom to service them multiple times, and he is always looking for some action. So when the hens start laying eggs and sitting on them, it leaves that Tom all alone in the afternoon 12-4pm, which can be prime time to call that lonely Tom in. I'm not an expert, but enjoys Turkey hunting a lot. But yes I think the younger birds become quiet as the hunt continues, but those Big Toms can be easily called in.

What a mess if they do leave honey! :-) they prob saw a big white box and calling it home

IMO the gobblers with the hens are easier to call later in the hunt!!!! I like the later hunt, because all those hens start laying eggs and peal away from the flock in the middle of the day. That Gobbler becomes very lonely and when he hears a hen call he will come a running in wanting to "service" them, :-)!

Right on Prdatr! Great job calling those last 2 in! Hearing gobbles is the best sound ever!

Great calling yotebuster!!!

There are no good links with wolves

I was thinking the same thing, should go fast

Thank again KaibabHuntr for the drag! It is working out great!

Yep that looks like it PRD

Sorry for the random post but I thought it was odd finding this little guy at a buddies house off the 202 and Ray? I don't think it is a Thread snake due to its head shape, and it was always sticking its tong out which I have not seen a thread snake do in the past. I have grown up here in the east valley and have not seen many snakes "in town per say". My finger is about 3" off the ground, just to reference how small he is.

Great job!!!

Thanks wrk2hnt, I think you're right. Its crazy in how many varieties of color they come in.

Great looking bird!!!

Great job to you and your boys Coach!!! Nicely done

Wow that's impressive 520hunt

I have heard that they have shot pigeons from the bridge at Tempe town lake for pigeon control at night with air guns. Also been to Yellow Stone national park taking out elk because they have been out of control. They had to pack out guts and everything to leave no trace. They basically do most of AZGF dirty work taking out problem animals. My buddy was called down to Green Valley to take out coyotes that bit people because they were feeding them. Of course AZGF will take all the credit for it, and won't hear nothing from the USDA government trappers. Don't get me wrong that AZGF does do a little of damage control, but most of it is done through the Gov trappers. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, this just what I have heard.
