You guys are putting down down good birds, I can't wait to get out on the 20th and see if I can add to the teram score. the weather report looks to be good and the birds should be willing and able...

Got 2 new youth hunters to take out the 20th. Got 3 strutters near their house. Hoping to double up with these 2 who have never hunted before, but they are crack shots. Their sister is Turkey Girl who I've taken out 3 years in a row,she has 2 in the bag so far,but she is 18 now. Hope to better my 23 pounder from last year,or at least get one with 1" or better spurs and 11" beard. The one in the picture fits the bill except in the beard,it may be 9 or 10". I'll not pass on him if I get the chance. DTC JR. that is an awesome Top Tom,once again great job!

Lol! I hear that doetrain, I wouldn't even think on passing a bird like that! Would love to hang him upside down on a limb myself! That's great you take youth hunters out. Do you have a youth weekend? Ours is always the weekend before opening day. I've taken my daughter the last two years, and I hope next year maybe she'll be big enough to actually hunt. I just take her now and let her hear the woods in the morning and really scout for the opener, but she's 7 and that's hunting to her and she loves it!

Sounds good Baldeagle, can't wait until pics are up!! I was luck enough to take the ever elusive open field last Wednesday.....been wanting to take a sapling for a few seasons now. Maybe we can get together and swap a hunt out one day. ��
