Hens will mate with multiple Tom's and hold sperm for over a month internally to fertilize her eggs. Tom's always vie for dominance but Jake's and other Tom's breed many hens, they pick by simply laying down and exccepting the Tom's advances just like a doe may be bred by differnt bucks and twins are only half siblings..

Bird will move if bumped off roost a couple of times in a few days. They do not like pressure , I think they are more sensitive than deer personally.. in the fall your dealing with " fawns" that dont know any better break up a group of mature gobblers and it might be 3 or 4 days before they get back together.

You can paint or stain. Just dont get sounding surfaces.. the slight.change in tone may make the box a winner.. I have one the sound board cracked and I glued it back together, one of my.best calls now

I've shot turkeys in field at 65 a d my fall bird was over 50 this year. All.depends how gun patterns with shell and obstructions. Best bet is to go out several evening before and at a distance listen for gobbles, and again in am . Trout fishing is good excuse to listen for birds near water. I use a locator call sparingly when scouting as if birds hear same call they become accustomed to. It and wont shock gobble to it anymore, takes good ears to hear a bird in the middle of using an owl hooter. Try several different locators . In am when hunting If you didnt locate one night before. I also runa mopped along ridge and blow horn they answer that well. 2 or 3 gobble snacks you should be able to know where he is within 70 yards but remember in moonlit nights turkeys will tree hop so. A nice gobble in early am.is always definitive

Most pumpkins do not compete with weeds well you will need to spray area to kill them off 2 or 3 seed in a spot , each spot 4 to 6 ft apart. They take 120 to 130 days on average to mature so if you go backwards 4 .5 months from oct 1.. would be mid may planting time so you can spay a few spots to plant a couple times before you plant. -
My nephew Ryan was given this award in front of the whole academy yesterday. He also earned top shot in his battalion The award is only given to one person per school / military academy. Recommendations by the ROTC staff of the Institutions will be based upon basic criteria established by the Services regarding academic standing, class enrollment and other standards or eligibility. The National Sojourners criteria is that the recipient must have encouraged and demonstrated the ideals of Americanism by deed or conduct or both; and that the recipient demonstrated a potential for outstanding leadership. There is no restriction of the award based upon race, religion or sex, other than ~e student must be enrolled in a Department of Defense authorized Reserve Officer Training Corps program. Normally, only one medal is presented by each ROTC unit. Preferably the recipient should be a sophomore or junior so that the medal may be worn for a year or more. Most schools select recipients who rank in the top 25°/o of their class academically.

They say if you make it past 2 weeks your good.. idk all.of them are experimental, not tested like many products that are approved by fda that now are off market for side effects.. they dont stop you from getting it, transmitting it, at best they are suppose to reduce the effect on youif you catch it... approved for emergency use only ... I dont really see an emergency as we now know how to treat it with drug cocktails in bad cases..

No reason to stop a fall hunt ,many young of the year birds will die over winter , taking those birds make no change, taking gobblers in the fall or adult hens I can see an issue, though I have had chances at gobblers in the fall and have taken a few I stopped years ago, they know how to survive a winter and Iike to hear them.in the spring. So I leave them be, a young 8 to 10 lb bird in fall is perfect for Thanksgiving dinner imo.
