Hogwash, may have been different turkeys. Gobbler will be along any minute with the tracking study data that turkeys can and will roam miles a day and not roost in the same area. I am not being funny here either. He has the data to back it up.

They CAN/ WILL doesn't mean they DO......I know for a fact it was the same turkey.....unless it was 3 different turkeys within 100yds of the same spot missing the exact same tail feathers (pictured in my other post)

3Toe, get me a cold bud light and some pork skins.....

Congratulations! That oughta set off your first good turkey jinx.

You may have called up the same turkey 3 days in a row before, but you never did it and posted about it on aldeer. Posting about something like that here pretty much guarantees a jinx. If you have never lived thru a turkey jinx, you just can't imagine how its gonna be. You can do everything perfectly and the turkey will still get away. And not just once; day after day after day.

I once killed 22 in a row with my SBE and for some reason felt the need to post that here. I think it was in some kind of argument about shells. Anyway, next bird - miss. Outback posted that he had never missed a turkey in years of hunting. Next bird - miss. I could go on and on, but you get the picture.

When you get caught up in a turkey jinx, come back here for advice. You'll find this bunch a lot more willing to give out anti-jinx advice than they will be to let you hunt their turkeys.

I won't argue it wasn't the same one if you were talking about one turkey with missing tailfeathers. I took your post to mean multiple turkeys. Same one in same place 3 days in a row then you had a home body to hunt.

Forgot to add, even Jughead could have killed that turkey if he stayed there 3 days.

Chit. I couldn't kill one at a Butterball facility.

Well I personally choose not to believe in jinxes or bad luck....I believe you make your own luck with patience, persistence and hard work.....now....I'm not crazy enough to say "I never miss"...or "there ain't one I can't kill"....but every turkey I've ever missed or screwed up was because of something I did....not a jinx. Every morning I'm in the turkey woods I have a talk with the good Lord, thank him for giving me another day to turkey hunt, then whatever happens, happens....like I said earlier (not bragging or being a smartass) if I never kill another one I'm not going to complain.....calling them up is way more fun than shooting to me anyway

I'd have gone boom on 3 turkeys in those three days if that was me. I don't turkey hunt to bird watch, or entertain somebody else, or impress somebody, or spend time in the woods. Seems to me like it ain't-a-pode-a-be-dat-way. I'm hunting for the rush of one coming in to where I can turn him a flip and tote him home with me. And I have been know to get irritable if the guy I'm hunting with tells me, "wait, don't shoot, let me get some more video footage..."

Oh yeah, jinxes are real. I had to engage in all sorts of voodoo in 2012 to rid myself of a jinx on a certain gun. It's a long story... And yeah, it was something I did that brought the jinx on.

Haha!!! Voodoo Hugh?!

Only reason I ever had to hold up shooting was he wasn't in range. I negated most of those instances now by shooting TSS.

don't believe in jinxs????????





don't make me do it just to prove a point to ya.......

Don't even play Troy, don't even play. That some serious juju that no one wants.

Yep. I visited several turkey hunting sites looking for advice on how to rid the gun of the jinx. (And yeah, it was the gun. I was 0 for 9 with that particular gun during a certain time frame, usually not encountering a turkey at all, while something like 10 for 20 using 4 other different guns.) I ended up doing several different things including dabbing it with turkey blood from the next one I killed, letting it sleep in it's case with a gobbler feather, and verbally explaining to it that I was sorry for my mistake, etc. And then, the next time I took it out, I was faced with the exact same situation that caused the jinx in the first place. So,I swallowed my pride and didn't make the same mistake again. And the jinx ended that day.

I got this doll from a guy in north Ga, he said it had the bad gris-gris on it......


I used this one on a guy that had his church pray that I wouldn't kill a turkey one year because I wouldn't go to his church....he didn't kill a turkey or even a deer for a couple of years. Quit hunting and went to fishing.....

I once,in a moment of complete stupidity,said I turkey hunt with a bow because they are too easy with a gun. Anyone who believes in a jinx knows how that ended.......

Now thats funny ,I dont care who you are.

LOL

I'll go ahead and give you a tip that I picked up from Yekrut right here on aldeer; it is powerful anti-jinx medicine. You are gonna need some.

When you are blessed to kill a gobbler, get down and roll around in the blood and feathers like a dog. Try to get as much of the blood and turkey smell on you as you can, and of course, don't wash those clothes again until the season ends. I haven't experienced a jinx since I started doing that. Thanks again for that tip, Yekrut!

I do that anyway.......thanks tho lol
