Whats your thoughts on the Remington 870 Express Super Magnum?
Filed Under Turkey Hunting | 3 Comments
I want to get a Remington 870 Express Super Magnum for shooting and hunting. I will be hunting deer and turkey and quail and everything else I can. What are your thoughts on this gun? Also does anyone know where I can buy some accessories. I would like to buy an extension so I could hold 8 shells and maybe buy a better barrel and maybe a scope. Thanks everyone

MO Spring Youth Turkey Hunt 2008
Filed Under Turkey Hunting | 2 Comments
MO Spring Youth Turkey Hunt 2008 This was our hunt we did along with MissouriWhitetails.com. Steve and and our young hunter Kelly joined Dad and me up at our farm near Lewistown MO. It was a cold and snowy weekend and we froze our butts off. We did get a couple toms in to about 60 yards but they just wouldn’t commit to give a chance for a poke at them with his shotgun. Camcorder was a Canon GL-2. More info on turkey hunting on our Turkey Hunting Forum at www.jesseshunting.com Missouri …

As the number of Americans visiting and moving to Turkey increases, the popularity of homes in Turkey increases as well. The 37th largest country, properties in Turkey range from apartments to mansions and restoration homes to the ever-popular Turkey villas.
Look outside of the norm when considering a purchase. Real estate in Eastern Europe, including homes in Turkey, can mean much more than a permanent home. Among the many options available in east European real estate are Investment Properties, second homes, and vacation properties.
About Turkey
With a population of over 70 million people, Turkey is surrounded by water on three sides, including the Aegan Sea, Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea. Temperatures can widely range depending on the location, but can be generally categorized as being warm in the summers and mild in the winters.
Turkey is an eastern European country that borders eight other countries. Turkish is the official language, but English is widely recognized in most large Turkish cities.
Investment Properties
Purchasing homes in Turkey doesn’t require you to live there. With low interest rates and even lower mortgage rates, homes in Turkey make great investment properties.
An investment property can mean leasing out a property to a local resident for a contracted period of time, renting out to tourists for a shorter amount of time or, for a more permanent solution, marketing the property to retirees looking to retire in style.
With a booming economy, homes in Turkey range can range in price from $36,000 for a fixer-upper to $600,000 plus for a new apartment in the heart of a tourist city. For those considering a landlord option, rent is steadily rising, which should allow for a complete return on investment.
Second Homes
For those interested in doing business in Turkey, setting up a base in another country, or just spending a significant amount of time in Turkey, a second home is the best option.
The low mortgage rates for homes in Turkey make purchasing a property an easy task. Perfect for retirees or those doing business in the technology sector, east European real estate is the prime target market for those looking for a second residence.
Vacation Properties
While investment properties and second homes aren’t for everyone, vacation properties may be! Homes in Turkey don’t always need to be practical – consider Turkey villas near the water or exotic apartments located in the heart of any bustling city if a true escape is what’s desired.
Plan vacations around the weather – May is generally the wettest month while July and August are usually the driest.
Vacations can include sports, playing or watching, such as football (also known as soccer in the US,) as well as basketball and volleyball. Looking for something more exotic? Visit any of the castles, waterfalls, jungles or mountains that Turkey boasts as landmarks. And for those looking for relaxation, Turkey is home to more than a handful of great golf and spa destinations.
Time to Buy
Whether it’s for an investment, a second home, or a vacation property for a getaway, homes in Turkey are an intelligent purchase. Research the area in which you want to live, the climate in which you would most likely desire, and the prices you can afford before beginning the property search. Once you have the basics down, finding a dream property will be a cinch. Happy hunting!

UV brightens with deer hunting?
Filed Under Turkey Hunting | 5 Comments
Does uv radiation really make you super visible to a deer? I have seen pictures of deer vision where a hunter glows blue, is this true? How effective is uv block laundry detergent? Are deer the only animals that can see uv, or do turkey, bear and moose also see it? Thanks.
I have had 5 doe, 10 pairs of eyes not more than 7 or 8 feet in front of me while on the ground, no scent cover, no uv wash and they never knew I was there. They stood in front of me for a good minute before naturally moving on.

Do vegetarians think that not eating the animals will make them come back to life?
Filed Under Turkey Hunting | 19 Comments
The animals are already dead when you buy them in a supermarket, so is not eating them really going to change anything? I don’t mean to offend anyone, and, in fact a vegetarian lifestyle can be more healthy in some ways, but if your only reason for not eating meat is a moral reason, then you need to seriously think about this. You don’t kill the animal if you just eat it.
By the way, I’m the sort of person that you would probably think of as a monster. I love to hunt, and I’ve killed several deer, turkeys, and one black bear. It’s fun, the meat is tasty, and atleast in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with it if you don’t waste the meat and if you kill the animal humanely. In nature, animals kill other animals all the time, and human beings are, to some extent, animals, so it is just natural for humans to hunt and kill other animals.

Turkey hunting can be difficult enough, but hunting turkey with a bow can be a downright disappointment unless done the right way. A hunter who bow hunts turkey will take all the tips he can get to increase his chances of bagging his own gobbler for Thanksgiving dinner.
• Position is Everything. Bow hunting turkey requires more skill and agility than using a gun. A hunter, upon seeing his target, must pull back the arrow, aim, and shoot. Often it’s the pulling back that alerts the bird to the hunter’s presence and the shot is foiled. Finding a good site to hunt from will make all the difference. Finding some sort of concealment for the pull back is a good choice; a tree often enables full coverage from behind, which is ideal. Some portable blinds also offer good options.
• Reset the Bow. While a hunter may not want to do this, it can often make the difference between a successful and an unsuccessful hunt. Adjust the pull weight on the bow so you can pull and wait for the target to come into view. This will allow you to wait much longer more comfortably.
• Choose Arrows Wisely. Arrows are often the one thing a hunter forgets about when getting ready for the woods. Arrows shouldn’t have any red, white, or blue as these colors are often mistaken for turkey colors. If a hunter gets just a peak at one of the colors, he may make a bad choice and shoot. It’s also for this reason that you should know what you’re shooting at. Just because you hear a turkey, doesn’t mean it is one. Many hunter’s master turkey calls, so be sure that what you hear and see, is also identified. Woods or field camouflage is the best choice for a hunter from tip to vein on his arrows. Carrying extra arrows is also a good idea, and buying lightweight ones will make hauling more comfortable.
• There’s Never Too Much. Camouflage that is. Dressing head to toe in camo will better enable the hunter to blend in to his surroundings. There are many different styles of camo available, from wood to field color, so choose according to your hunting location. Also try to think outside the box; a flash of anything bright, from undergarments to even cigarette packs, could ruin a hunter’s chances.
