My buddy got his first turkey yesterday. He was scouting a few weeks before season and saw birds in a field from the interstate. He door knocked and got a green light. 25.5 lb. eastern, double beard 11" on the primary one, spurs 1 3/8". He was super excited, I think he's hooked. I'll go late...

Yup and yup. Retirement's a long way off. Have been catching a few trout. Bass fishing starts soon.

I had a long dissertation typed out all about dogs and hunting, then poof, it disappeared. The jist of it was to not be wrapped up in place, breed of dog or ultimate success of your hunt. We're all in this together. Mainly I know the offseason is good for different reasons. That said, regardless...

What's the IR area?

My favorite youtube, a guy in TN shoots at a flying tom coming in from nowhere and his gun falls apart in his hands. I'll never be able to find that one again but it was hilarious.

A few years back I drove down the farm driveway and the field had a flock of turkeys in it. I parked behind the small barn out of site. I got ready, crawled out and stuck a hen dummy in the dirt field, leaned against the barn, and hit a call. 15 minutes later I stood up and peeped around the...

I didn't know you hunted with Goose's cousin!

That's a really dumb law. If you read about the roots of turkey hunting in America it was primarily a fall event, and often done with turkey dogs. Their job was to stick right next to the hunter, and either sitting and waiting or still hunting, on command the turkey dog would run into a flock of...

The first thing I thought of when I seen your pic was John Randle.

Mr. Jones is all grown up!

The other day I watched some ruffed grouse hunting videos. It's funny because it's the opposite, 90% of them did not have a dog. Overall they're not as good as pheasant videos because it's hard to see as well in the thick woods.

Nothing weird about that. Dr. Pepper time, best time to kill one.

Excellent point. I saw a magazine cover once with the guy holding an extended mag snow goose gun and the dog was pictured right in front of and below the muzzle. I thought, that's about the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

There's something magic about a turkey responding to your call. I tend to call a touch more than average, but once you lay eyes on that bird the calls should go away. Unless you're good on a mouth call with soft purrs. I've made a pile of oopsies turkey hunting. And that's how I've learned to...

I mainly been sitting in blinds lately because it's how my spot sets up. But I agree getting on a large piece and covering ground is more fun. And although I use a decoy, you'll notice that a lot of the best hunters do not. No reason to unless you're sitting on a large open field.
