I am sorry to hear about your misfortune jrbsr! Those wiring harnesses can be quite costly to replace.. We had to replace one in our old dynasty once even though we lucked out getting a used one it was still quite costly to get the old one out and the other one put back in. Is there any chance on replacing just a section of it? Hopefully you can but if not Good Luck on finding one as well as getting it put back in..
Keep at em Wilcam they are bound to show up at some point.. Being persitant normally pays off in the end.. Good Luck to you..
A big congrats to you snapper! I am glad to hear that you have connected one as well..
Alright team lets get them hanging! We can beat those other teams if we want to! So lets do it!
Youth day comes up on Saturday and then Monday those birds will be doing the running then.. LOL I am having it hard waiting for the chance to put a bead on top of one!

Way to go Snapper!. Had no doubt you'd put one down today! Congrats bud!!!!!
Well, sorry boys but no points for the team today. But still couldn't be happier with my opening day! After 10 long years of coming up to hunt with me and the worste string of bad luck a guy could ever have, my Dad shot his first turkey ever this mornin!!!
Right after they hit the ground i managed to call all 3 toms and the hens right up to the property line, but no matter what i did they just wouldn't come play. They finally lost intersest and went back the way they came. 20 min went by and one of em gobbled. Then again. I hit the call and he was on his way! Left all the others behind and came in all alone. 35 Yrd shot and it was over.
I'm wiped out tired and have had a few celebratory beverages so this shortened version of the story really doesn't do the hunt justice, but was one of my favorites! Just for icing on the cake, turnes out it was a double beard with good weight and nice spurs. I scored it at a 71. Congrats Dad!! its about time!!!!

Best part is the fact that when he came in the others were a long ways off so i'll be back after em in the morn. Didn't hunt this eve and farmer called me and said they were right by my blind at about 7 tonite. Gonna be alone in the morn and stay outta the blind and run & gun em in the morn. Man i love this stuff!!!

You know, without your dad, there would be no you and since you took him hunting, I consider him part of the team. Maybe we should look into the fine print of this contest to see if we can enter his bird
Congrats to your dad on a fine lookin bird!

Congrats on the nice turkey! Way to go!
I have tagged out by the way the last 2 years of hunting turkeys (2 birds). With last year taking me 3 whole days of my season. I messed up on the second day or I would of been tagged out then. Then I was bummed out because I couldn't hunt them no more.. This year is looking up to be a pretty darn good year as well. I am hoping so anyways.
While we all know anything can happen when hunting for turkeys or anything else. I would be expecting me to have a bird down the first week of my season.. It starts this coming Monday and I am on a weeks vacation again..
