Clever Turkey Nicknames

[GobblerFever]

What's going on guys and gals! I have heard turkey called many things, ranging from tom to limbhanger to thunder chickens. I was just curious to see what all nicknames you've used for the Wild Turkey?? Good luck in the am!!

Ghost gobbler. He just appears with little to no gobbling. He is up 3 on us counting this morning. Hopefully we have his number and a different strategy for tomorrow mornings hunt.

" daylight walker " is one that will always stick in my mind . had a bird a few years ago that would gobble very early and pitch down into random spots in some very open pines . we tried every trick in the book and on our 9th morning i accidently had him walk within 50 yds of me and layed him to rest . we figured he was just a 2 yr old that had been shot at got an education that year......ended up having 1 3/4 inch hooks .

Gobblingdawg hunted and killed an old public land bird a few years ago that he named The NightStalker. The bird definitely had a different clock from all the other turkeys in the woods. I heard this bird myself gobbling just a few minutes before dark like it was 7 am in the morning!

After one that I call TONTO, he likes to roost near some Native graves. He has whooped me all season, but I got a couple of his buddies.

On a good day........"Supper"!

we had one we called "yard bird" cause he would gobble like a domestic turkey that people kept around their house! by the way, i think he died of old age.
