I hear you loud and clear Bible_Man.. It takes dollars for that stuff for sure and I know this year if I get fortunate enough to get one like that. I surely could get the dollars up to do that after being out of work for so long anyways. But, I know I would love to have.. Good Luck out there Bible_Man...

For you folks out there hunting I am hoping to hear how things has been going.. Yes I am in need of some hunting stories guys! I have to wait until may and would surely like to hear if you are seeing any birds out there and what not. If you are getting stuck on then responding or anything? Maybe someone could chime in with a few tips on how they have normally had some luck.. So lets hear a few stories anyways.. We love to hear how things are going.. Thanks..

Glad to hear you got some good news Phil. That's awesome.

Today is opening day here in Iowa & I was able to have some luck. I setup within 50 yards of a gobbler in the roost, but unfortunately a hen kept him just out of range all morning and all I could do was watch. About an hour after flydown, a group of 4 - 2.5 year olds came up and put on a nice show. They worked their way into my setup, but were hesitant to come too close, likely because of my strutter decoy. This guy was strutting at 27 yards when I let the montec fly. He went about 20 yards before falling over & the other 3 toms started picking on him. 20 lbs. 9.625" beard. 7/8" spurs. Definitely a beautiful morning in the turkey woods.

Well team this will be two from Iowa today. Congrats zubba.
Got in on a new piece of property before day light this morning and was waiting on a field edge for them to sound off and had one fire up where I had just walked in. set out the decoys and waited for fly down. As soon as I knew he was on the ground I started calling to him, cutting me off with every call he slowly made his way to me. Took him 30 minutes to cover 150 yards, never went into strut once. at 25 to 30 yards I ended the game.
