Sorry this is the best pic i got as of now.
The season was about 10 min old when i shot him. He was the only close bird that i heard this morning. I did a few soft calls on my slate and he came right in. I was set up right next to the neighbors fence and he was on the neighbors property. When i first saw him i wasen't for sure if he was going to cross the fence, i figured he would just hung up just on the other side of the fence but he didn't. He saw b-mobile and then he just had to come in. He went under the fence, came up and struted around b-mobile, i putted at him, he put his head up and i shot him at 15 yards. Probably one of the best hunts i've been on.

MOhunter,

Nice bird! I bet you almost feel a little cheated that your first bird only took 10 minutes of action . Please see my PM...I'll post the score to the Captain's thread after your reply...

Congrats to all of you Tarhell, Mohunter46 and Brushchimp!!! Well I got one guys. I had planned to use my bow but I was running out of time so- I used the trusty ol gun and on the last day of the season... I got a jake. He sure aint a monster of a bird, but I have never worked so hard for a turkey. I have been hunting these great creatures for awhile and I think that I spent more time on him than I have my last 10 birds. I will post pic and stats later. What a blast !!! Yea!!!!

Great job guys! It's nice to see people getting out and bagging some beards

Brushchimp: That is a real nice pic, and that looks like some pristine turkey country...

BrushChimp

Thanks y'all.. Well done by the rest of you too. Yeah, I've never hunted country like that before. It was great. Great views of Mt. Hood occasionally too. Sage flats, lotsa of scrub oak, mix with big conifers. It was the most open place I've hunted so far. Very nice to get a break from the dense rainforest of Western Washington, lol.

Nobody's been killin' anything? 3 out of 11 team members have killed turkeys is all? Let's hear it.. The excuses that is, lol. [8D]

My season was over aweek and a half ago so i'm done. Even though i killed a bird the first day the rest of the season sucked. I didn't see one gobbler after that first day. I heard pleanty but i guess thats the way it goes.
