Congrats!!!!

Congrats on sticking to it and getting a great bird!! What were the spurs????

this week should get them fired up... Have guys sending me pics of nests with eggs..... So they are on the nest already in some areas... makes the toms lonely..

Thanks.... Yeah, I never worry about weight.... even my own most times... LOL...

Been hearing guys calling a LOT to birds on the roost where I hunt.... just frustrating to hear... Birds are all screwed up now.... Glad to see people asking here and not "assuming" they know... Gman is spot on...

Well. Long story. Lol. Started at Plan A, got to Plan F before I was done. Nothing close to me on the roost. Finally found 2 Long Beards in a bowl but boy were they call shy. Plan E I set up across a field from them, Avian X decoy out. They gobbled but never moved. Swung all the way around them, got below them about 100 yards. Set up in the rain. They still wouldn't leave that bowl. Saw 6 jakes across a road, probably 600 yds away. They gobbled at me every time. Sure enough they cross a road and walk right to me. Unreal! These were the 23 Jakes I've called into gun range this year. I usually dont shoot them so I let them go. Well don't they see something and start alarm putting as they head right for the LB's!!!! WTF!!! Everything goes quiet. I call. Nothing. Now I'm ticked! I text Sandra Pirog saying "I'm shooting the next Jake twice!!!!" Lol. I call. Nothing. I look to my left and at a dead run to me here comes the 2 LB's, white heads, beards swinging. I'm left handed. My muzzle is 180 degrees from them. I wait till they get 20 yards and start yelping as I swing my gun. The two birds split, one goes to the right. Red dot finds him at 42 yds and BOOM! Game over!!!! 1 1/8" spurs 10 1/2" beard. Scale says 18lbs but felt heavier. Good 3 year old!

I'll roost Saturday evening...

Congrats!!!!!

Took my buddies son out for Ma youth turkey season Sat. and he shot a nice Jake, then Sunday to Ny. fortheir youth hunt and shot another nice Jake... his 1st and second birds ever....

I use them in a 25-06, 30-06 and 338 Win Mag.... Killed everything from Coyotes to Bull moose to Kudu bulls in Africa.... Love that bullet... doesn't break the bank and works great!!!!

I've talked to a lot of people about him, consensus is well over 500 lbs.... I have a pick of me standing there, I'm not small by any means and he dwarfs me...

Here he is stealing it.. . 11220029.AVI

This was in my back yard this past October.... Giant black bear stealing my suet feeders..... Got him on video... Needless to say.. I stopped putting the suet out for a long time... LOL The feeder he steals I can't touch from the ground where hew is standing and I am 5'9" tall.... 11220028.AVI

Hey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Give credit where credit is due!! LOL

I love my Masterbuilt Electric.... See my post I just put up.... Easy to work so it gets you into smoking without having to be an expert...

Took venison breakfast sausage, mixed it with melted Velveeta cheese and Salsa, then stuffed that into Jalapeno pepper halves, wrapped that with a slice of bacon the put it in the smoker for two hours with apple wood at 230 degrees.. Came out slap yo momma good...

My dream hunt..... Not sure my knees can do it though.. 3 surgeries on them..... But congrats to you!!!!!

That's what I thought....

A friend didn't buy his muzzle loader permit yet... didn't fill his bow tag... can he hunt during the BP dates with his bow on that permit or does he need to buy a BP permit???

"Killing males"???? Really.... Most people call them Bucks.... and in no way is it a bad idea... Ever....

Lone Wolf is the best out there....

Walnut mantle, friend of mine made it... 70" X 11" X 3" with live edge..

Here's how you stop it.... Suspend a target, chest high.... Have a spotter with you... Draw... Anchor.... settle the bow in... All with your eyes closed.... Have the spotter verify that you will hit the bag target..... Squeeze the shot off... do this every day as a practice ...... Should stop a lot of "bad habits"... You learn about your form.... know when it not only looks right, but feels right...

ps.. I think it is a BS law...

The law states sunrise to sunset... if you go early or stay hunting later.... you are at risk... just saying...
