I've shot a ton of birds over the yrs. Love hunting them. Love isn't there to kill.a easy bird. Not saying I wouldn't have killed a limbhanger if he decided to come in that easy, but that hasn't been my experience. At 300 plus yards, it was impossible to see their spurs. Same as a deer, I'll.pass on a 1.5 or 2.5 yr old. In my old age.. it's more about fooling than then killing them.

Drove by the farm after the wife and I went to Hannaford. 3 long beards strutting there stuff on the edge of a newly plowed field. It was 10:45. Shotgun and camo was in the truck. Parked and left the wife to listen to music, as I went after them. Called them in to 20 yrds with two soft clucks into the pines. All three were two yr olds, as I could easily see their spurs at 20 yrds. I passed. I'm hoping they survive the winter and get some experience under there wing. Wife didn't understand and was rather irritated. My response, you married a hunter, what did you expect?

Usually it's SPOG. Salt, pepper, onion, garlic. However I was out of "O" ( onion powder). So I had some rub that was heavy on onion, and added so additional garlic and black pepper. I mean how can I go wrong with more garlic?

14lb brisket going on the pellet smoker at midnight. Getting up at 6am and firing up the reverse flow smoker to finish the brisket. Cracked out sausage and cheese balls ready for the pit for app around 3pm tomorrow.

I've purchased my last 3 or 4 sets from seatcoversunlimited. Just got a set of the Carhartt camo the other day. Haven't had a chance to install yet though.

Looking good. Hate to see what those 6x6's cost.

What on your menu this weekend to honor the brave men and women who sacrificed everything for our country? Have a few family and friends coming over Sunday. Smoking a 14lb prime brisket, 2 racks of St Louis ribs, baked beans and "cracked out" cheese balls for a appetizer. People will be bringing the usual salads and finger foods. Have a great weekend everyone.

I'm not sure I should admit this, but at first glance I thought it said plastic penis, and ..... Well nevermind.

Very possible there was two, and one didn't make it. Would make sense why momma was lurking around.

I'll bet momma found her. She probably has her stashed in the same area today.

My area has a fantastic population. Always has. Ya it's been down here and there do to bad springs, but overall it's fantastic.

WTH. What's in the water up there?

Yes I can. At least 20° cooler would be great.

It definitely effects there patterns. I usually find them in heavily shaded areas after fly down when it's hot out. Hay fields are also getting very tall. Your not as likely to see a strutter in them. They tend to avoid tall grass in the morning as they get soaked walking through, and it's much harder for them to see coyotes or fox looking for a meal.

My wife just got a S22 ultra. I was playing around with the cam. Definitely does a good job. My Motorola edge has a 108 pixel cam, and does really well.

Actually got it back to mowin, and got my post count back.

Got my first bear pic last fall. Been hunting the same property for 30+ yrs, and never seen one, let alone a pic. Love to see one while on stand.

That could be me. I've tried, but can't use those things.

Hell, I dropped out 5:35 opening morning. Haven't been out since.

I don't think it has anything to do with one being bashful. Some do like their privacy, especially on social media. If someone wants to only show the game they harvested, then all the glory is on the game, not shared with the one who harvested the game. Nothing wrong with that. If you don't like those type of pics, don't post them. But don't knock those that do. Looking forward to seeing a pick of your big tom with your face chopped off...

Pork shots. Gotta luv em. I make em probably once a month. There definitely the first to go during parties. My favorite stuffing is cream cheese mixed with a little brown sugar.

Congrats cynthiafu, and bill. Fantastic bird.

Finally... wasn't huge. Just legal at 27.75". Cooking it up tomorrow. We had a bunch of runs, but lost them. This was the only fish in the boat, other than bait fish.

I'm up... But not hunting turkeys. Buddy is taking me striper fishing. I've only caught one little dink 30 yrs ago, so I'm excited. Good luck to those out chasing turkeys.

Not sure. I took a 5 bearded tom 30 yrs ago that only had 3/4" hooks. I had him mounted, but unfortunately he didn't know what he was doing. The thing started dropping feathers and had bugs in it within a couple weeks.
