Really did a nice job. Are their any plans on, maybe a hen?

I always enjoy seeing the turkey pics. Thanks for posting.

Your blinds caught my attention last year. Do u get any flex with the 2x2 corners? Edit; Are rain drops noisy on the tarps?

Guess that flushes my idea, LOL.

Actually, the below average temperature sounds bad, but temp averages creep up very quickly this time of year. Our average high is 43 degrees today. ( I'll be happy with some 40 right now.) By April 1st, it's 50 degree. We'll have "spike" temps. through the period too. Few weeks ago, it was 64 degree on a Monday-Tuesday. We can get a warm rain to green the grasses and legumes before turning cooler again. I believe, the next few weeks will be the hardest on the deer. I'm more concerned with the moisture content in the soils. It's looking dryer than usual right now in this area. Last year, we were fighting a dry growing season and those army worms, made for a shortage of hay. Not bad if you're a seller, but bad for the buyer.

Had deer come close, but figured that was due to human sent. I got video of turkeys chasing deer right out of the field.

I'll move the decoy slightly when I get action from a wanted party. Most of the time, it will draw attention early in the season, but the birds get smart real fast. The kite sting can break quite easily, that's the intent for it's use. I like the arrows because their long enough to go into the ground, and also work well in hollows where visibility is an issue. If u leave the fletching on, that will add friction to the decay also.

It can in a higher wind situration, but I just tie the tails with a piece of kite string and stake the other end to the ground with a stick. Had one episode where a jake got tangled in the string and dragged the whole works off into the brush. It was quite comical and he did get loose, but he didn't like that hen anymore, LOL. I also control movement with another piece of string to the blind, sometimes.

You're defying gravity, LOL. Hope they grow good for u.

They look in good shape. Bet their getting sick of winter too. They have been on the year old red clover seeding here. Got it nipped right to the ground. Can't wait for a warm rain.

Got the Cherokee 3 hens and a jake. Use old arrows to support. Watched one, last year deflate in a few hours, darn berry bushes.

No worse than skunk. I'd like to put Punxsutawney Phil in the stew pot for his early Spring prediction, LOL.

Last year, we got some nice hatches. The turkey needed it. This year may be more normal?

Not a pet, but I was going to try some taxidermy work on some chickens. Thought it would be great practice when I get a nice turkey.

The staining of the tarsal could be the result of January- February late breeding.

Doc, You're Peach tree description sounds similar to what is on my trees: My Redhaven tree doesn't have it- yet. Been treating infected trees for 2 years now with slow improvement. Peach Leaf Curl Management Guidelines--UC IPM.htm

Liberal government knows what is good for it's people. Did into your pockets people and get ready to pay for Obama Care. Oh, you're gonna pay!

Guess who's paying for this?

Good luck. Take some pics if u can.

Haven't seen one of those in years.

Last years was a nice one. Did ever get the mount back? This deer sure has a nice start, and being on the downhill side of winter, I'll say the odds of survival are stacked on his side.

Maybe these questions have been asked before, nothing came up on the search. Do our hunting, fishing, trapping license become public record? Do our names go on mailing list or some other form of release? The reason I ask; I took a NYS trapping coarse last year. Received the certificate, but never got the license. Now I'm receiving trapping books in the mail. I have gone on a few trapping supplier sites, but never filled in anything. Strange thing too, the books I'm receiving are not from the companies visited online. Ed; SP

Shows how incompetent our lawmakers really are. These people are running our state?

He looks good!

I heard gobbling last night, but think I was doing it, LOL. Ed: sp
