The ultimate turkey hunting experience!
Finding the Turkey
Look around with your binoculars to find turkey in the distance. With the binoculars you should be able to tell the difference between a hen and a gobbler. (There?s nothing stopping you from shooting a hen, but you won?t be able to keep a trophy of it back at the lodge). An ideal hunting spot may be tight up against a rock, a tree or a bush.
Calling the Turkey
Using the calls at your disposal, lure the toms toward you by imitating the calls of a hen. A lovesick tom will respond with his own imitatible gobble. Overcalling a tom may cause him to lose interest as much as a lack of calling would. On some occasions one call may work better than another, or a combination may prove to be the boss gobbler?s downfall. Don?t bring him in too close, he may catch sight of you no matter how well you are hidden.
Killing the Turkey
Draw your weapon, take aim and fire. Don?t expect too much success when shooting a turkey from over 35 yards, its thick feathers will deflect the shot at that range. If you miss, the turkey will panic and run away. If you?re on, you?ll return to the lodge with a smile on your face and a great kill.
The Trophy Room
Having successfully harvested a turkey, the hunt is over for the day. The weight and beard length will be displayed. Provided you?ve shot a gobbler you?ll then be taken into your trophy Room where you can decide whether or not to hang the turkey?s tail along with a plaque. In the Trophy Room you can walk around whenever you want to view you prized collection of up to 10 tails. Having made a kill you will be shown the plaque to be hung in the room. Gold plaques are awarded for bow-shot turkey and silver plaques are awarded for kills made with either of the guns.
