OK, posting pictures for the computer challenged, lets go one more time here;
Here are the first two birds, harvested at 12:30PM with the help of B-Mobile, my first double ever.

I got this two year old the following day at 9:30 AM

Here is a shot of all three of the spurs, beards and tail fans

Nice birds, We here in MI can only harvest one per season.
You all seem to be very knowledgable turkey hunters.......here is my question.....please reply
I have located the turkeys roostin a pine grove about 60 yrd X 150 yrd.There are tons of droppings and feathers about in the center of the grove. fields on both sides, one side I can hunt. Part of the pine grove has woods butted up to it with a two track dividing the hard woods from the pines.
setups in my best opinion would be in the field edge next to there roost???? Is it wise to set up in the pines say 30-40 yrds from there roosting trees??? or maybe on the two track dividing the two woods???
I can tell you how I would deer hunt this but have no idea for turkey, and knowing where there roost is kind of throughs me off. I would want to sit in the pines for an evening hunt I am guessing.
Little help so I can post you a bird!

well slip into the woods SILENTLY well before daylight, im not sure if i would use a deke but if i did id just use one hen and one jake about 10 yard to the front and left of me(or right if your left handed) if your allowed to evening hunt(we're not in CA) set up 5-60 yards away to try to minimise distrubance. if your season hasnt started yet try to get some scouting done to see where the turkeys go, into the two-track or the feildd? and if you set up where they want to be only use very light calling to not distrub their pattern, do you agree everybody?
