Re: Happy Holidays 2020 - Full Description!
Someone asked me to get a lynx scoring 8 for the mission. Now not responding. Anyone else want to pick it up? You join the tent I tell you, and the lynx is right there to collect.

What's wrong with these turkeys? I can't get them close no matter what i try. A tree stand, ground blind, tower, nothing works for me. They keep fleeing when they come 70-100m from me. I use two decoys on 30m but the turkeys can't even get close to them. They just turn around and flee. The sneaky 3d cammo clothes + face paint is not helping. I see people hunting turkeys from treestands and blinds at 10-15m. How are you doing this guys? I'm even crouching in the tower and they flee when 70m away. I've been bow hunting turkeys in the game and it's never been so difficult before. Already spent several hours calling them with different tactics for only one turkey just to quaify. I'm really starting to hate these black balls. Happy holidays to all.

Did you bring a dog? That is a known issue. Try without.BaiPe6o wrote:What's wrong with these turkeys? I can't get them close no matter what i try.

Well, actually yes. But they act the same even when the dog is not after them. I'll try without it. Thanks for the advice.

The dog is never "after them", but it is a disturbance factor. Turkeys have a very good sight and they will detect the dog. However it works technically, the dog has been repeatedly reported to be a problem when hunting turkey.

In 2017 there was holiday banner awarded during the holiday event. I’m sure I’m not the only one who didn’t manage to get it, any chance of EW making that available again? It’s a nice addition to the profile pages during the holiday season!

- Maybe there is a bobcat in the area and that is why they flee without any warning. Did you hear that faint bobcat meaw sound ?BaiPe6o wrote:What's wrong with these turkeys?

- Maybe you touched the flush (sound) key by mistake.
- Maybe you are not wearing the correct camo color/costume. In forest ground best costume is the Sneaky 3D Summer Forest Camouflage
- Maybe you have a dog with you and it's not sitting and it's walking around. That will spook the turkey or any animal.
Did you chek all that?
