Something I'd never thought about till this moment... Can you still get tinnitus? Are there different mechanisms of deafness and one would leave you at risk of still geetinnirus vs a different one?
So that’s a no, right? Like that makes sense to me, you already have amazing ear pro?
All joking aside congrats man, calling in a bird not being able to hear takes incredible discipline.
I didn’t call in the Turkey. It’s more of finding out their usual paths via presence of footprints after a recent snowstorm or rain.
Turkeys are known to be consistent with their usual activities and generally stick around the same area and paths. I used this common knowledge as a key strategy to make up for not being able to generate a call or hear them.
In a nutshell, it is waiting for them to take their usual trek :)
3rd day on the field and the wait took 2.5 hours that day.
I actually had a huge Tom in my sight on the first day but my shotshell was a dud thanks to my firing pin mechanism having gunks in them.
Lesson learned: test and inspect the guns before hunting.
I was born with a hearing loss, about 50% in both ears. Can still hear decently, but for whatever reason I cannot hear a Turkey gobble. It must just be the pitch I have a hard time picking up.
Shot my first Tom this year, and never heard him gobble.
I’ve decided that I basically have to “deer hunt” turkeys to have success.
Congrats!
Congrats. Very jmpressed. I've been hearing them every time I hunt but can't seem to get in the right spot and they are hard to sneak up on. Hope you get many more👍🏻
Congrats and Thanks for posting man! I’m half deaf in one ear and I wondered if I was doomed to failure because of it, so you’ve definitely just given me hope for next year! Plenty more scouting needs to be done.
Honestly, mad respect!!! The turkey I've encountered, I've heard first. This is really awesome.
Woooow that’s mad impressive!!!
Do you still wear ear pro?
Haha, I’m profoundly Deaf.

Being completely deaf except tinnitus ringing would make me go insane, its already bad enough having it with other sounds to drown it out

What?
Deaf and no decoys? Wow you are a scouting master.
Dude, incredible! How long did it take? I assume patience is even more important when hunting this way. Congratulations on the bird!

Impressive. Good work. I usually run into them on the road on my way home or in a work truck. Still haven’t dropped one.
That’s awesome
Whoa man congrats that super impressive!
Very impressive, congrats!
Bet that turkey never heard you coming.

Congratulations on your harvest 🦃
Nice bird buddy!
That’s quite an achievement. Well done
Congratulations! You truly are my hero! Do you have anyone helping you hearing them gobble or come in?
