I killed a jake a couple days ago and was glad to have him. I hunted 12 of the 1st 14 days of season. Rain or shine would have hunted the other two days but won't hunt with lightning rolling around. Low populations and poor weather. Add in a couple of blown opportunities, and I was ready to get...

Nice bird and one of the best turkey guns ever made.

I swear to god turkey!!! You step in my garden one more time!!!

That's a nice gun but you know what you want and you won't really be happy until you have it.

Yesterday was the first day here. I heard three Toms on the roost but shut up after they flew down. I heard one gobble an hour later on some property I couldn't go on. I called for an hour with no results. Went to the truck, ate a snack and a drink. Then walked down the road to see if the truck...

Yep, most of them will be dead when I find them. My wife freaked when she found one while. But she's used to them now.

I think the larva of the Lonestar are what we call turkey tics here. Tiny little monsters. They can be found in large numbers that I assume are recent hatches. Lots of horror stories around here. I have a few myself! Sorry to hear about the Alfa gal. Lots of cases of Lymes here but haven't heard...

Sorry Goose didn't mean to offend you.

I've been looking at that same type of mounts. Are the bones still in the wings? Looks good.

1 oz of 10% permethrin from any farm store. 20 oz water. This is a pesticide. Spray on cloths only. Smell dissipates when its dry. I keep a spray bottle in the back of the truck and a bottle at home. I use it on everything except the garden and berries. That's about the same ingredients as the...

Yeah, I know guys who say they never do anything but a cluck. Another friend calls so soft I don't think they can hear him. If they hang up, I'll throw the kitchen sink at them. Then again, I've probably scared more away than I've called in.

I had a weird stretch a decade or so ago. 3 out of 4 years in a row, killed my birds between 11 and 12. One-year last day of season of season I worked a bird for hours to no avail. All the time hearing a bird far enough away I wasn't 100 % sure it was a bird. Butt dragging, pissed off, 3:00 in...

I guess the next thing you'll tell us is UFO's are real.......Oh wait....

My plan is to shoot one right in the face at 20 yards. My strategies have changed through the years. Labor intense work kept me in in pretty good shape for years. But the toll catches up with a guy. If I hadn't landed a desk job for the last decade or so of my career, I don't think I'd still be...

I'm not sure how much they are seeking here. My neighbor signed up his entire 40 acers. I haven't heard anything from the rest of my neighbors. The project in the county south of me is 1200 acers. Roomer is double that before they're done.
