turkeyfeathers

They’re getting bigger

Knew I heard soft clucks earlier. They skirted me and fighting purrs in behind me at 50 . Fun to listen to

Spike just got a pass

Headed in. First sit in this small partial. 50 degrees . 6 mph south wind which is good here. Blows my scent into a giant horse farm as I sit in a funnel. Good luck all.

it come with the ballz?

I've never processed my own deer. Nowhere to do it,no tools,grinder etc. I'm fine with paying $80 to get it done. and hoping i get my deer back too.

gotta be quicker than that. and I chose you too

In the first round i pick Gman

Watched nice buck for awhile feeding. Pretty much knowing he wasn’t gonna come my way. I too tried tickling the rattle bag , he looked but didn’t seem interested. Also hit grunt tube and no response.

Sat 4 til close. Saw a nice buck at 85-90 yards I could never get great eyes on. Fed in little field on small hill above me and along wood line. Never came my way

Off today. Pretty bad that I’m already not feeling it and turned off alarm what would have been 2nd time out on a great morning too. Possibly go out in afternoon.

Ever hear a fisher scream ?

Hello Monday lunch at work. Macys place : Buffalo express: pepperoni, bacon , chicken , franks hot sauce , ranch , mozzarella, cheddar. Loganberry for libation.

excellent beer. Whats bottled date. I love Maine brewing Lunch but tough to find a bottled date of less than a month

actually a 9. autopsy showed exit behind 3rd last rib, tip of liver and 1 lung nice pass through

My opening day: Gman graciously invited me down to hunt his property. Drove down Friday night after working all day. That drive gives me anxiety. He’s racked up 27 deer and a bear driving up to WNY for work and back over the years. I’ve had some close calls going to and from. Ordered my Subaru Outback xt onyx and waited 13 months for it , 2 weeks after getting it I smoked a deer doing 55 last spring so I’m gun shy now. $5k damage. Bunked out on the couch and 3 other guys spent the night too. He generously put me in the best spot cams proving it. Active scrapes 5-6 bucks working daily. 1 of which a dandy. He’d rather see others kill a good one than him. I have to cross a small creek on a wobbly suspension bridge with cables to hold onto. Upon hitting beginning of bridge my red lens on headlamp picks up to sets of eyes . Thinking sob 2 deer bedded there but I have to cross. Get half away across and one stands up , coyotes and one at now 18/19 yards is a big one. Nock an arrow. Full draw , can’t see pins , heck it’s been 80-90 seconds and both still staring at me. They finally scoot. Decide to put arrow into quiver and finish across. Upon hitting the end I step down and slip crashing hard into rocks and rebar supporting bridge. Took rebar right to the kneecap. Thought 911 was gonna be needed. Sucked it up and continued short journey to shooting shack where the scrapes. Thank goodness as climbing a ladder no bueno with knee on fire. Plunked my ass on a bar stool in there. Standing up not easy. Passed a spiker who might not even measure 3” and stubby tail to boot. Pain and swelling was nagging. Pulled the plug at 10:15. Drove the 90 minutes home thinking if I had a stick shift I couldn’t drive. Iced the heck out of it. My dads brothers son who’s a spitting image of my dad has been glassing a field for weeks and nice bucks hitting red clover at dusk each night. I’ve sat this place before and never see squat. Was corn prior years and this year it just was clover that popped. Helped other day get his climber set up with trimming and such. Yesterday wind was perfect blowing our scent into creek. I opted a stand a little farther away than we knew they’d enter. There’s a stand right where they should cross the creek , hit wood line then clover. I didn’t want to have my scent blow at cousin so I opted at one 60 yards away from the perfect stand. Well guess what , watched nice buck walk right under open stand . Watched 4 coon climb down from den tree and lone black squirrel. Then I get text at 5:30. I stuck him. Now Tony has baddd hearing and eyesight. The worst turkey hunter I’ve known and been trying for years to get a bird under his gun. He’s loud , noisy and always in a hurry. I climb down ladder stand with knee on fire. He can’t find blood and I immediately pick it up. Bright red and no bubbles. I mark it for 50 yards or so until losing it in swamp. I grid search lightly and knee goes out tumbling into a rose of Sharon face first. This is fun. After losing blood I tell him we should back out. He shot at 30 yards slight quartering towards. Upon him calling deer search I look 175 yards away and the other nice buck that was with shooter is walking down logging trail . I had just placed a cam on a stake over 3 big scrapes. Watching him hit licking branch and scrape. Tony’s like where lol. I went home and iced my knee some more. Supposed to bowl 6 games pre bowling for 3rd saturday of October and November. October is dads day at Samantha’s college and November is opening day of gun. Not sure bowling is gonna happen tonight lol. Well low and behold pic just got text. Tony is the first to wrap his hands around said bucks horns. He kills a lot of nice deer each year. Happy for him. I’m gonna try for shooters buddy when hunting local next.

. Had time to nock one. Bastids just froze too. Closest I’ve ever been to killing one. Couldn’t see pins

Deploying buck bomb #14

Wanted to and had gut feeling I’d have a whack at one today. Never killed one.

Oooh. That was interesting. Crossing small creek spot eyes. One set at 20 yards one at 25. They locked up at red lens on headlamp. 2 big ole coyotes both giving me probably 90 seconds to knock an arrow. Full draw at one at 20 broadside eyes glowing. Couldn’t see my pins as still too dark.

he cuts corn off the cob and won't eat apples remember

peanut butter and jelly with mikes hot honey sammiches are fantastic
