catman70 Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Heading to Montauk for an extended weekend and wondered if anyone has seen any turkeys along the river while they've been fishing and floating. Haven't been that way in a while and it'll be good to get back. Figure glo-balls will be hot right now and will probably do most of my fishing outside the park. I'll report back next week.
Ted Calcaterra Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Catman - I fished below TanVat this Sunday and had turkeys fly over me while fishing. And yes egg patterns were on!! I can do one better. I was driving back to St. Louis and had two buffalo cross west bound 44 jump the median and then cross east bound 44. This happened about 100 yards in front of me while doing 75mph. Talk about crazy!

Randall Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 that wasn't about 2-3 miles west of cuba was it? Cute animals taste better.
Terry Beeson Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Did they have wings? I LOVE buffalo wings... I grew up on a cattle farm and my neighbors had bison at one time. I was feeding our cows one day when I heard something coming up behind me to the feeder... it was one of my neighbor's bull bison... a BIG BIG fella... coming straight for me and the feed... at a trot... some 20 feet away... Time for clean underwear... Good thing you didn't hit one... they can do major damage to a vehicle... all 2,000 plus pounds of 'em...

catman70 Posted October 24, 2006 Author Posted October 24, 2006 Thanks, Ted. If memory serves, there's fairly flat land on the South side of the river below TanVat - similar to how it is on the North side just above. Do you recall what time of the day it was?
Gavin Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 Catman, there is a big flat valley across and downstream from Tan Vat, you can see it really well from the road to Baptist Camp. FWIW, I often see Turkey's on the road down to Baptist Camp. If you see a loaded green Wenonah with an anchor rig on the back say hello. Gavin
catman70 Posted October 26, 2006 Author Posted October 26, 2006 Will do, Gavin. I'll be in a silver Cherokee, but since it doesn't float so well I'll probably be wading. Don't know if my buddy is bringing his aluminum canoe or not. We'll be staying in the park and will probably do a lot of fishing between it and Tan Vat. I think there are "no hunting" signs posted at some point along the road to Baptist, so I don't know at what point you can and can't chase birds through the woods. I guess we'll find out.
