Those boys are covering some ground!! Heck I could even see them in Canadice.......

The two in the first picture I shot in the late 80's or 1990. I just slated the tails in the fanned position while stapled upside down to a board. Let them sit for a month or two then hang them where you want. Those two have been there since 1991...... In the second picture, I paid a taxi-dude to "preserve" that much of the bird. I hunted that bird for 6-7 days in Arcade maybe 20 years ago. He'd be in the same general area for a day or two then head east a few hundred yards. Each day he would give me fits, gobbling his butt off then going silent. I don't recall if he had hens or not but he was brutal. Finally on the 30th of the month I sneaked in a finger of woods between two fields and got what I guessed at 100 yards from him, strutting in the plowed field. I made a couple of my finest yelps and he came in like he was on a string. It was later in the morning and I felt like I'd summited Mt Everest. I had to do something for the old monarch and that's it. The spurs are self explanatory. Beards are in a wooden box.........

Nice......

Damn it, good score.

Great to hear she is home.......NOTHING like home. Beat that "C" like a drum Moog!!

Storage storage storage. Not man cave/office.

You'd be better off making a call or two from a spot they'll never see you and then walking away 150 yards and making a call or two, giving the gobbler the allusion that the hen (you) are losing interest in him, then you STFU for 30 minutes. Drives 'em crazy and works every time. Money back guarantee.......

Tough deal..........

I'm sure you sent all mods a PM so you should be getting a response soon. I'm sure other members are having the same issue but might be to shy to ask out loud.........thank you for NOT being shy.

Ahhhh, it's the jealousy coming out now.

Yup, and I gave Ol Billy a tune up like he hasn’t had in years.......I have to get that elbow looked at after turkey season.

Weird......wonder what it Turkey?? Edit to say I have no idea what I was saying above this sentence.

I think I turned the lights out at 9:30 last night. The alarm was set for 3:30 but I woke up at 3am and had to wiz, thus I was done sleeping. 5.5 hrs isn’t too shabby. But.......I just laid down in bed now for hopefully a 30-45 minute nap. Oh yea, I never heard a single gobble today and it was a glorious bluebird day without a stitch of wind. If I didn’t know better, I’d think I lost my hearing last night.

RE: TacoTim I won't say I told ya so, but I told ya so.

Latest I ever killed is May 30th and it was extremely gratifying. Sadly I missed a big Tom on the last day one year.....the exact opposite of gratifying.

Thanks Jeremy. We missed it due to unforeseen circumstances.

Yup

Kind of an unconventional way to sit if anticipating a gobbler isn’t it? Have you shown Cynthia the proper way and explained why?

Bump

We might go over by the airport or St Joe’s to view better.

Get you son and wife out there!!
