And yet the government, as a matter of policy, take no proactive measures. I wonder how b4 people go about their business with fire-arms slung as a matter of course?

ISIS also like to tear down statues they don't like. All part of the obliteration of history with a view to creating a blank page for the future indoctrination

I'm OK with this. The Marxist attack on US history is out of control

This is how the left operates right now. They are happy to hurt themselves in order to take out an enemy

*Stretching* Time to hit the woods. This early morning lark is for the birds.

V nice bird

I took the time to learn the mouth call. I can make 4 distinctly different sounds now and it keeps my hands free and on the trigger. Not that I get much chance to shoot Turkey in the woods. Its fun, but bloody difficult to draw them away from the surrounding fields. Worth the challenge and time in the woods tho.

Every time I go out early I get nothin. Not a whisper of Turkey activity today. Tomorrow I hit the woods at 9:30...maybe even 10:30. Those days are always more productive. Did have a call-off with the neighbor above me with the nice field. Even he gave up by 8am. All the birds where in Turkey Feather's field it seems!

Went back with binoculars to CSI the scene of the great Turkey Escape of 2017. It was a downhill shot. Looks like I was a touch high and gave him a hair cut. Branches an what not made a second attempt impossible. I know for sure the nitro load is good at that distance tho.

Well, I just had the best Turkey hunt for some years now. I did not go out early, probably hit my spot a little after 8, but as I was walking in I heard a gobble close by. Good start. I got my 3 decoys set up and settled into my brush blind, see the pic below. I waggled my gobbler tube and used the mouth call. Got a couple of immediate responses and then nothing for a while. I called a little longer and then stopped. About 15 minutes later more gobbles and clucking heading my way. 3 Jakes came in. One was a good deal bigger than the other two. The decoys did not spook them, but also they felt no need to come in for a closer look. They seemed comfortable tho and scratched around about 50 yards off. I lost sight of one, then heard one of those sonar like navigation calls they do to let the others know where they are. He had gone around and come up behind me. I slowly turned against the log I was lying against and watched him get closer. I pulled the gun up and placed the sites over a clear spot between branches. It was about 30 yards and I felt comfortable with the distance. The gun goes off and the bigger bird just kinda walks back confusedly in the direction he came from. I expected him to drop after a few steps. Nope....he kept on walking, not too fast but he wasn't hanging around. I was sure I had connected and so stalked after him to finish the job. He got clean away. I looked around for some time to make sure he wasn't pilled up behind anything. Couldn't find him. I went back to the kill zone. I must have gone too far in front or behind his head. There was a tree right behind him however. It was peppered with tight shot at the correct height. Couldn't believe he walked away from it. One lucky bird. Pick of the tree below

Thank you Plum Island research facility

I just inoculated logs with Shiitake spore. Going to grow my own

Yep

Guns don't have rights. She will be quite happy under the coming Islamic theocracy

Well...neighbor above me with field access got the big Tom this a.m., as he always does. He gets the Turkey, I get the Deer . That seems to be the deal. I sense another Turkey free year again. Windy and wet tomorrow. No hunting for me.

I haven't been anywhere near my 2 Turkey spots at all this year. I nipped out in the rain tonight to drop off my decoys so I don't have to deal with 'em in the morning leaving the house. Other than that, it is going to be virgin territory. I have made the mistake in the past of over scouting spots, practice calling etc.
