Bowhunt
Action In The
Orange Grove
Across
the adjacent cow pasture, 300 yards away, several black, turkey objects
walked into view. I cut excitedly on the Woodhaven Aluminum call and went
into a volley of yelps.
The
birds stopped.
I
cut again. Louder. They switched directions -- the right way too -- toward
me. To Hunt...
Fred gets 'er
done
Fred
still had the Woodhaven slate in his hands when he saw 3 gobblers crossing
the cow pasture. He closed up 3 sides of the Matrix blind, leaving a shooting
hole where his hen decoy was. As the gobblers got close he lost sight of
them behind a palmetto patch. The first bird appeared 60 yards away and
trotted into the orange grove. To
Hunt...

Day 4 (March 24)

We

Day 3 (March 23)

Morning
Hunt: Doug Crabtree broke the silence of the pre dawn woods with an
owl hoot. RaaaaaOuuuuuu, an owl answered. Suddenly Doug and an owl barely
missed him. To hunt.
Day 2 (March 22)
Morning
Hunt: We were there. The turkeys weren't. We are moving to a new area
this afternoon.
Afternoon

South
Florida Osceola Bowhunt
DAY 1 - Doug Crabtree's
South Florida Opener

Doug Crabtree and 3 other
hunters squeezed into the Double Bull Matrix blind and waited for daylight
to break. An owl hooted in the hammock and several gobblers sounded off
100 yards behind the blind.
Ten minutes later Doug made
soft tree yelps. Gobblers came from all sides. "We were surrounded," Doug
told me., "just like the indians circling the wagons of the cowboys." To
Hunt...
DAY 2 - Grand
Slam Quest
At first light a gobbler
sounded off in the distance. Doug Crabtree called aggressively for several
minutes and the tom gobbled constantly. GO...
DAY 3 - First
Osceola & More

Turkeys! In the palmettos.
Doug popped up the Double Bull on the edge, set the decoys, and called.
Without a peep the birds entered the field and then ran to the blind --
14 Toms. To

When You Least Expect It
... Hogs!

(Mar 17) - Yesterday I noticed
a 10 yard pool of water in the windmill area. This morning I drove there
and put a TrailTimer EZ Cam there to see if wild turkeys (turkey season
is only days away) are drinking from it. On the way I got a surprise. One
heck of a wild
hog hunt...
