  1. Birds didn’t gobble much after hitting the ground this morning but I got to see a beautiful show with five Tom’s four hens and a Jake for a couple hours before this one came close enough. Even got to see two hens get breed !

  3. I'm up... But not hunting turkeys. Buddy is taking me striper fishing. I've only caught one little dink 30 yrs ago, so I'm excited. Good luck to those out chasing turkeys.

  7. I decided to pull a memory card from one of my bait stations while turkey hunting yesterday. This is a real nice cat and I hope he makes it thru deer season. I'd like to catch him this winter.

  10. Tried a smaller stream today. Three hours nothing it was such a beautiful stream with ripraps and pools. Kinda disappointing no fish. Hit the creek I was fishing the other day on my way home and caught two brown trout on a yellow rooster tail. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  11. Down at Virginia Beach for my daughters cheer competition. Got out on the pier this morning with my son. Ended up with 4 skate and 1 sting ray. Skate in the pic had its tail cut off or bit off at some point.

  13. This is still cheaper than therapy. The first target is the .380 from 10 feet and the second is the 9mm from 10 yards. With the 9mm I’m definitely gripping way to hard causing the high right shots. When I was able to just have a firm but relaxed grip I did much better accuracy wise. Between all three guns I probably sent 500 rounds down range. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  16. In most SA concessions, the land owner owns the meat. All animals are immediatly transported to the skinning shed and then placed in cold storage. Depending on the owners arrangements, it then may be dispursed to the local families, schools, organizations or sold to a butcher/grocery store. It is common to find prepared game meats in stores (Not referring to "bush meat" which is poached meat of unknown origin.}. The US does not allow importation of uncooked/ processed meat products. We did eat quite a bit of game when we were there. Kudu is especially fine, but we also ate springbuck, warthog, impala, and ostrich. Ostrich is very fine. Most of the antelope species are tough to tell apart, being very similar to venison. I would have loved to bring home the kudu straps, but was very pleased it was all entirely utilized. One concession we were on all meat went to a local school, which was likely the only meat the students recieved regularly. With few hunters going to SA over the past two years, it had a significant effect on local nutrition, and a great increase in poaching.

  17. The wife and I returned from our "five years in the making" trip to the Eastern Province of South Africa. It exceeded all our expectations, from the hospitality, beauty, food, game, and more. Eighteen hours of flying to get there, which was a bummer when you are not used to flying. We overnighted in Johannesburg, which allowed us to rest up for the final short leg to Port Elizabeth. We were met by our host/guide Jono McHugh, owner and operator of Kingsview Safari, who arranged all our stay and was our near constant companion for ten days. Our first half of the trip was spent at a private reserve where we were fed and treated like kings. Staying at the concession allowed us to hunt literally out the door, and we were able to view wild life from our porch ...wart hog, blue wildebeest, giraffes, zebra...all the African standards (no Big Five on the property though). I used Jono's .270 for all my hunting, and it proved up to the task for what I hoped for...impala, kudu (my big trophy), warthog, and the wife stated that if we go to Africa, she gets a zebra rug! It would take way to long to detail all our adventures, the great folks we met and unfortunately a way of life that is doomed to end likely over the next 1-2 generations, but it was a once in a life time hunt/trip/ adventure. We two were able to go (not including airfare) for considerably less to hunt my four initial species; I actually chose to take an Nyala also, than a Newfoundland Moose hunt for one costs. A few pics...

  19. Finally was able to finish my taxidermy room in CT house today. Always hard to take good pics of taxidermy- in person always looks way better. Only stuff left to add are my critter skulls that were beetle cleaned and in clear display cases. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

  23. Saw 10 birds in the woods tues-wed, hens and jakes. The first time in two years (in season. Two years in a row I had close encounters with hens the day before the season started) Heard gobbles Mon-tues-wed, first time in three years. So in that way, it was a very good hunt, relatively speaking.

  24. After dropping only 5 pounds after two weeks of what I thought was Keto(probably ate too many calories in nuts and dairy), I decided to do a 3 day fast the last three days and ripped off another 8 pounds. Good luck start. For the next two weeks I’m going more normal diet/paleo but eating 6 small meals every 3 hours from 7:00am-10:00pm….keeping the booze away and no food after 10pm is where it’s at(I hope). Energy is up and with spring eventually coming, more activity in my future. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  28. This one wandered off about a hundred yards, so I made a few clucks with my push button call , and she came right back in. Now she has gone into the woods behind me and I can still hear her yelping. No sign or sound of any toms over here this morning. I’ll give it till about 8:30, then I got to cut up another truckload of cherry.
