Richard Combs has written the book on wild turkey hunting. The Cincinnati sportsman and author knows the primary tactic for bagging a big gobbler. It’s not a sweet-sounding turkey call, an expensive shotgun or weeks of scouting.”It’s patience,” said Combs. “Turkey hunting is 99 percent boredom and 1 percent sheer excitement.”Turkey calling has become a sport in itself, he said, and there are lots of Ohio hunters who are quite adroit at luring gobblers in with a variety of calls. Even the simplistic push button-style turkey calls, a $20 investment in the spring hunt, can easily do the job.Combs said when his daughter, Hillary, wanted to tag along for a spring turkey adventure more than a decade ago, he encouraged her. At 8 years of age, the youngster was too young to handle a shotgun, so Combs gave her some quick lessons with a push-button call as he drove to the turkey woods. “I let Hillary do all of the talking with that simple push button call,” said Combs. “She called in two gobblers for me that morning, and I bagged my bird.” Click Link Below For Full Story!
