Little Creek Calls

I will take it. I was going to make one for my son.

I am looking for some youth sized camo for my 10 year old son. He has his first upcoming spring turkey hunt in April. If anyone has any available please let me know. He is an average sized boy so I am thinking youth size L so he can wear it for a year or two. If you don't have any but have some recommendations I would appreciate those too. Its hard to find decent camo made for youth that have available stock.

Thanks for the suggestion, I hadn't thought about that approach.

Yes 10-12. He will be turning 11 this summer.

You would have needed 9 points to be guaranteed a tag. 8 points had 24 bonus pass tags but also had 49 applicants so around 50% draw odds.

How much do you want for your golden boy? My son would love a gun like this.

I would like to have seen turkey hunting legend Marvin Robbins on the list. Taught me and countless others in Arizona the love of turkey hunting.

Tell us a little bit about your bird, When and where was it killed? Who did the mount? beard and spur length?

A champ hunt tag would have to go to a champ permit holder. Tom Wagner would probably have more luck finding a disabled veteran with a champ permit than OE4A finding a champ permit holder.

Congrats on a nice bird. With the chocolate tipped tail feathers it looks all eastern. Were you far enough east in Kansas for a pure eastern or is it a hybrid?

If drcarr dosent take them I would like them.

Ill take the pontoon and L-R waders if still available. PM sent.

If you know where to go and know what you are doing you could get it done in a couple days. If you are wanting 12" or better the brook trout will need to come out of a lake and not a stream. You will also need to go to mt graham if you want to include Gila trout.

I switched to a red dot two or three years ago. Haven't missed a turkey since I switched. I use the vortex venom.

Sean I will take one. Give me a call and we can figure out a time to meet up.

My advice would be to stop in at Lee's ferry anglers at cliff dwellers buy a few flys and talk to Terry and Wendy Gunn. I am sure they will point you in the right direction for the walk in and be able to answer questions about other access points and trails. Report looks good 7 out of 10 for the walk in. https://leesferry.com/river-report/

They always have over 300 fall turkey tags left in 12A, I don't think that many more hunters put in for fall turkey. Deer leftovers have been drying up the last few years but there will be a list with at least 12A turkey leftovers.

I have been using a Yoder for 8 or 9 years and it is still running great. Cant beat the american made thicker steel construction. Gilbert fireplaces & BBQ (Gilbert & Warner) became an authorized dealer last year. They are a little more expensive than your Traegers, green mountain and pit bosses but like meatu said definitely a step up. They all come pre-assembled from Yoder but they are heavy 300 + pounds of solid steel.

Sean where are the pictures of your 2019 bull from Clay?

One of my favorite ways to prepare wild turkey, looks great. Congratulations on a nice bird.

"Heat" aka Nick is from Yuma.

I have been hoping to get a call like that. I figured with everything going on there would be a few Gould's tags turned back in. Unfortunately someone else had a better draw number and got the call before me in the unit I put in for. Hopefully I get the bonus pass tag next year.

Just finished up with the calls I am entering in the national call making contest in Nashville at the NWTF convention and thought I would share a couple pictures. First is a Hawaiian koa pot with a brass calling surface. It has a koa striker to match.

This is the correct answer. Doing your homework scouting and knowing the pattern of the flock will pay off big time on windy days. Work with the wind in your face and you will be able to hear them better. Only down side is you will have to move in closer so they can hear your calling. It can be a lot of fun waiting for them to walk over a ridge or behind trees so you can cut the distance. A couple years ago on a super windy day I followed a flock from a distance for a mile or so before I was able get close enough for them to hear my calling, they came running when we got close enough for them to hear. We could hear them but they couldn't hear us.

And I heard from a friend that spurs are all busted up from fighting. What a crappy year, short beards and busted spurs.
