FoxPro Keeps Getting Better!

Rodent and Turkey

FoxPro Game Systems has now introduced their newest items to help you harvest more game. The new remote rodent and turkey decoys are the bomb!
If you want your coyotes to come in closer than ever then you've got to try the remote control rodent decoy. The "Jack-In-The-Box" decoy system offers you the luxury of not only having a decoy but one that can offer movement. You can set it to continuous motion or click on the timer and the decoy will run in different intervals. Hook the box into the FoxPro Game Call and you can now control your decoy with remote control.
Turkey hunters can use it with decoys (such as FeatherFlex) to get even the most wariest gobbler to take a closer look. (Check regulations in your state)
If you are lookin for excitement or just need an edge, give the "Jack-In-The-Box" a try and you'll definitely carry more game home. Check 'em out at www.gofoxpro.com.

Kansas is the state for Rio's

Gus Bader of Tri Star Shotguns

Kansas is famous for huge deer and the hunters wait patiently at the mailbox for their tags. The state is also known for havin an unbelievable population of pheasants and a varmint hunters' paradise.
Now what once was a secret is slowing becoming common knowledge about the exciting turkey hunting throughout this great state. For us here in the Ozarks its definately a treat to get away from these pesky Easterns and go after their cousin...the Rio.
Guss Bader of Tri Star Shotguns met me in El Dorado (20 miles north of Wichita KS) on a cold, rainy, windy, miserable day this past April. We located 3 big toms on an old railroad bed near an abandoned quarry and set up in a small clump of cedars. With a few strokes of my Primos double cutter box call we heard the answer we were looking for and they started heading our way. Grouped with several hens and jakes it took a little coaxing with my Power Crystal slate to make them feel at ease and they headed straight for Guss. Using Fiocchi Turkey Mag 5's, Guss had no problem droppin this fine trophy.

Crazy Tactics for Silent Gobblers

Mark Lamb

Having trouble getting a long beard? Gobblin on the roost but going silent once he hits the ground. Wont come to you regardless of what you throw at him? I feel your pain but I may have an old trick for you to try that my Grandpa used to do.
First, locate your gobblers roost. After dark bust the tom from the tree and seperate him from his hens. (You may bust them all but that wont matter) He has probably been with the same hens for a while and will want to get back with them at first light.
Set up between him and the hens (or as best you can) very early the next morning and chances are that old love sick tom may answer and come to your decoy. We used the Primos Ole Glory slate to get this big boys' blood boiling and walked him on in with their new PiggyBack mouth call.
Now I'm not saying this is a fool proof way of harvesting a turkey but when you run out of options, give this a try. It worked for us....this time anyway.

Big Tom for Little Bo

The opening day of the Missouri youth turkey season (April 9-10) was a success for young hunter Bo Jacobson. Hunting on his familys' farm near Bolivar MO, I had the priviledge to tag along with this young man, his dad Tim, and Rick Lowery opening morning.
The turkeys were not wanting to cooperate and Rick used every call he could come up with trying to get an old gobbler to respond. They were as quiet as a church mouse and the only way we could get close to one was to spot and stalk.
We located 6 big toms together in a field surrounded by woods and luckily were able to sneak in un-noticed in front of the long beards. The big gobs (walking in single file) came in quietly and when the lead bird got into the open Bo fired his Fiocchi 3" #4's perfectly.
Weighing in at 23lbs, it was Bo's first mature gobbler. He is now an accomplished turkey hunter and you can bet he'll be out there when our season opens on the 18th.
Well, its off to Arkansas to try and bag a turkey of my own around Norfork Lake. I'll keep you posted.
