Default No turkey but a great morning.

I was after the turkeys again this morning. Had him at about 70 yards but that is as close as he would get. You talk about frustrating.[:@][:'(][&:]Then I went for stroll and came upon this in the road I just had bulldozed thru my woods.


I believe it was used to scrape hides, not really an arrowhead or spear. More of a tool.

Then I found my first shed on my new property. A couple of years old and really chewed up, but cool anyhow.




Oh yeah, and along the way I managed to find these too.




231 of them to be exact, my best day ever by far. Everywhere I went I would look around and see mushrooms. It was just amazing. Best before was last Sunday when I found 77. They weighed in at 10 1/2 pounds. jmbuckhunter's gonna be eating good tonight.

I am gonna dehydrate a bunch of them to eat later too. Just soak em back up and just like fresh picked.

Now I just have tofind time to hang those darn stands.And get a turkey for the team, maybe tomorrow.

Hey buddy I have some turkey advice for you:

1. You're not supposed to hang a stand at the roost tree, you can leave those treestands at home
2. It's obvious that your very efficient at finding small, stationary things on the ground... unfortunately turkeys don't fall into that categor.
3. It's difficult to be camouflaged when you're carrying a Hefty sack full of mushrooms around!!!

Just kidding bud, glad you had a good morning!!

A guys gotta do something when the turkeys shut up for the day and crawl in their holes(or wherever they go after 7:00).

John,,,funny we were just talking about arrowheads at your house the other day That is either a scraper tool or more commonly a cashe blade. cashe blades were roughed out and cashed in hiding for napping out the points when ready. nice find though, its a bigin Dam thats alot of mushrooms, your making my mouth water It seems that everyone i talk to in my area is saying the same thing about the turkeys not cooperating as well. keep at it Mr.

I've made wild turkey marsala before and it's great, I bet it's even better when you find your own mushrooms.
