  1. Went to my favorite spot. Was in at 5:12 first gobble from roost 5:35. There were actually 4 Toms roosted around me. First one flew down and started to walk towards me. At 30 yards I let him have it! Man was I excited. Had to put a stick across his neck and he was done. Going to have him mounted. Ended up being 17 lbs 8.5 inch beard and 1 inch spurs. Real beautiful bird.

  2. My son missed a Jake in PA Saturday in the miserable weather, followed it up with a beautiful double bearded heavy Tom. Saw 11 beards in these high winds and it was not easy, we covered 5-6 miles locating a dozen birds, when we found them they wanted to play. Our buddies son missed a Jake for his first bird. Back at it Thursday.

  9. In our old house, we had a rat from hell. Chewed holes in between cabinets in a island and chewed the drain tube for the washer. The water on the floor was how I found the holes from cabinet to cabinet. Traps set upstairs and in the basement. No luck. Few weeks later, dishwasher wouldn't work. Prick chewed wires. Added hardware cloth under and throughout the entire dishwasher. Still couldn't catch the bastard. I was home during a rainy day, and heard him in the dog food bag. Set up with the pellet gun, and a hr later I had my chance and missed. Left one chewed hole under the cabinets open open, and left a trap there, finally after almost a month of trying to kill this thing, he messed up and the trap got him. Called him Rat bastard. Thing had a PHD in pissing me off. But I won't the war.

  15. Yup. Sounds like starter. Pretty simple fix. Next time it won’t start take a hammer and tap on the starter a few times and give it another try.

  16. Stay later in the morning on that dude. His hens will go sit on their nests and leave him mid morning 10am to Noon you might be able to coax him over. Set up 2-3 decoys if possible, talk to him a little so he knows your there and wait him out. Don’t call to much though. Just hit him with a couple and get him to gobble back at ya and then just wait him out.

  18. Years ago I found a simple deep fryer recipe in an outdoor magazine. Cut the breast up into strips, put them in a bowl and cover them with buttermilk, leave in the fridge overnight. Beat up a couple of eggs and dip the Turkey breasts in the eggs, then dredge them in good quality seasoned bread crumbs giving them a coating. Deep fry and enjoy! Al
