Rocky Top Game Calls

You can purchase them (free for lifetime and sportsmans holders) starting today for fall deer and turkey hunts. They are first come first serve so either get to a license agent or go to TWRA's webite and get them there. Good luck and happy hunting.

I wish the TWRA would make this fall season a hen only hunt here in TN. Most of the areas I hunt have a hen to gobbler ratio that is way out of whack. Anyone else agree?

I agree. We have WAY more hens that gobblers. When we went to MI last spring it seemed like everytime we would see a hen there was a gobbler nearby. I probably didn't see 10 hens the whole trip but I probably saw 5 gobblers. That was the best ratio I have ever whitnessed myself. All you can do down here is make yourself not shoot fall gobblers and jakes. One of the first fall birds I ever killed was a gobbler, but there was like 15 in that flock so I felt obligated. I have also killed a jake on accident before in the heat of the moment pulling the trigger on a family flock, but always try and shoot hens and young jennies. Heck I just like shooting something no matter what it is. I've killed just about as many yotes during fall turkey season as I have turkeys.
