October trips memorable, but Ozarks also beautiful
You don’t have to be much of a caller to get a young turkey, if you know the area in which they roost. They’ll come to a call in the morning when they come off the roost and in the evening when they are coming back to the roost.
If you like to call, October is your time. You can call a lot, and call loud, and if you know what an old hen sounds like in October you can use up a pair of shotgun shells in a hurry. They don’t call like that in April. There is a comparison to be made with the way your wife sounded before you married her and the way she sounds a few years later, yelling at the kids, or at you.
The reason I like to hunt turkeys along a river in October is, sometimes I get a really nice gobbler late in the evening, because they like to roost along the river. But if I get some little half-grown turkey with milk on his face, still trying to find his momma, I don’t feel so bad about it if I have caught some really nice bass earlier in the day on a topwater lure.
Even in the Ozarks, you aren’t disappointed in October when the leaves start to turn crimson and gold. I wish I could describe it to you, but I can’t do it, you have to know how it feels. But if it ain’t wonderful, I don’t know what is
I’ll be speaking on Sunday, Oct. 19, at the Alba (Mo.) Christian Church. If you live nearby, come and join us.
