HILLARIOUS turkey hunting story

the Ferret · April 17, 2007, 03:30:00 PM

Let me set it up first. Yesterday as I was driving I called my buddy George Nagel (Ol 46 here on tradgang). When I asked what he was doing he said he was driving thru Iowa on the way to Kansas to go turkey hunting.We BS'd a while, then I wished him luck and told him to let me know how he did.

Fast forward to today...I'm driving and my cell phone rings. I see by caller ID that it's George.

Me: "Hey George, how's it going? Get one?"

George: "How far do you think an arrow attached to a string tracker will go if you forget to take the cap off the string tracker?"

Me: (snickering) "not too far I would think. How far did it go?"

George: "well not as far as the turkey was"

Me: "What did the turkey do?"

George: "he looked at the arrow laying there on the ground, walked around the side of the blind and jumped on a hen"

Me: "Where are you now?"

George: "I'm still in the blind"

Ya gots to love bowhunting turkeys!

Dano, he was laughing peretty good while he was talking to me. Been around the block too many times to get real serious about stuff like that.George is about the easiest going feller I know that isn't drinking Lemonade all the time.

We laugh a lot when we hunt.

Great story, I love it. I guess I'm not the only one that can do things like that.

There's probably plenty more stories out there like this one that we just don't hear about!!
Great story Mick.....

Wait 'till George finds out that we are all laughing WITH him; then I'm sure he could tell us a few Ferret stories!

Ferret,
Might be a new sport. You could shoot a line out towards the turkey and wait for him to walk over it. When he does...just snap a loop (half-hitch) down the line and try to snare a foot or head.

"Lemonade?????" He'll be a little closer to the orchards in Nevada. Now I understand the move.
