Killing animals

[jtksu]

My buddy and I shot clay pigeons on Sunday. It was fun.

Yeah, clay shooting is fun.  More difficult than I would have thought though.  I'm not al that big on hunting but I enjoy shooting so clays are a nice tradeoff for me.

Plus killed the crap out of dove this season.  It was glorious.

Explain this tradition to a non hunter

I get up before sunrise and drive to my brother's house and eat some breakfast.  Usually breakfast burritos stuffed with eggs, sausage, green peppers, onions, and cheese.     Then drive  to the area I have been observing flight patterns over the last few weeks.  Get our gear out and set up in a long firing line with who ever else is there.  I like to sit my motorized dove and several decoys a few yards in front of me.  Then we sit quietly in the twilight.  You will usually see several groups of dove flying around before sunrise but you can't shoot.  It's very peaceful till that sun comes.  We will shoot till the birds stop flying.  Usually congratulating eachother when there is a good shot or shunning someone who empties their gun at a bird only to watch said bird fly away.  Usually around 10 or 11a.m. we will go to dad's house to clean all the birds and eat them for lunch.  There are quite a few of us bloodfarts so there is plenty of convo going on the entire time.  I love it.

I would have slammed a couple bloody marys after that breakfast and gone back to sleep until Gameday started.

I like predator calling, does anybody else like predator calling?  By predator I mean coyotes and bobcats in Kansas.

Hunters are weird

So are animals.  It's a weird showdown in the woods.

Let's talk more Rick Rampus.  With the birds so down this year I intend on spending more time calling 'yotes and 'cats.  You usually go like "out west" somewhere or like "close to Kansas City" ?

I'm originally from a little town 45 minutes west of the Happiest Place on Earth, but now live in SWKS so I'm not sure on how to hunt them out here, completely different style.

Back home, we will usually have 2-3 guys, the more you have the poorer hunting experience you will have predator hunting.  If we have 3 guys, 1 calls, 1 has a rifle and the other a shotgun.  Sometimes the little buggars can get on top of you so fast you can't get a rifle scope on them in time, hence shotty.  Most times we will set up the rifle guy with the most open area to cover.  Your caller should be away from the rifle guy and closest to the shotgun runner.  We mostly hunt hedgerows and fencelines, pretty much anywhere we can get hidden and see them coming for awhile.  I only use Verminator predator calls, partially because I know the guy that makes them, partially because they are awesome and easy to use.  If you don't mind some redneckian humor and dialect, check out the Verminator video's.

What do you like to do emo?  Electronic call? Rifle?  I'm curious because I think everybody has their own methods.

I blasted some pheasant in SD this weekend. It was lots of fun, but I didn't get to bbs as much as I would have liked.

This part was my favorite

Pig hunting sounds fun, would like to try.  I hate turkey hunting.

I was actually thinking about trying turkey hunting sometime.  I watched a special on turkey and supposedly wild turkey is like a million times more delicious.

No it just has more little tiny spiney things (tendons?) running through the meat.  LWTAIQ   It makes it harder to eat but other than that it tastes the same.

The main difference they referred to was the higher concentration of fast twitch muscles in WTs. Domestic turkeys (especially toms) are like 90% white meat.  The hens (which make up the vast majority of whole bird sales) have a bit more dark meat but still aren't the same as wild birds.   They said the toms average over 80lbs!  Interesting stuff.  I know i like pheasant better than the Thanksgiving turkey...

Spring Turkey season is my favorite, as I really enjoy calling them in.

Eating wild turkey is an adventure. It tastes wonderful, but you have to be cautious while eating it. It's not fun to bite down on a BB. That's all I've got.

   An adventure with BBs in a turkey breast?  Never heard that one before.

Quail is the most hazardous to eat.  Those darn 8 shot BBs in a delicious meat

I've only been calling a few times, never had one come in (although did see some fresh tracks inside a tree line on a walk out one time).  I made my own e-caller:



It's basically a marine grade speaker in a Quik Trip mug, painted tan.  I have an amplifier that I plug a Blue Tooth module into, then I just play the tracks from my cell phone.  I've got a .223 and a 12ga.  Hope to be learning a lot this fall. 

We called some on the Cimarron two years ago, didn't see anything but looks like great country to call in.

Pretty sure this gets Emo on some sort of watchlist.

i think they may have been talking about adolescent black bears, not turkeys.
