Game Cam Pics....
 
I figured I would post these up in here since I am sure most of you haven't made it over to the turkey forum. I posted these in bowhunting because this season I am going to try and take my first with a bow and I *should* be leaving the shotgun at home. We have about 12-15 of these birds that are still flocked up, and over 300 pics of them now over the last 2-3 months. Out of all the pics, only 2 pics were of hens, all the rest were at least 2 y/o gobblers with 8" beards or better.......looks to be another promising season this year.

Great pictures Rick, what's the name of the trail camera you're using?
Good looking birds, maybe I can trade you some hens for some of dem boys ;). Man you have a Tom there with a beautiful hook on him.
Keep him in your thoughts.

Think you could get away with hunting from that box blind? Would offer a perfect bowhunter's vantage point...

It is a leaf river digital, I love it. I have probably 10k pics on it in the last year, and it works great. Quite a few of those birds have some hooks on them....most of these birds were 2 year olds last spring so there are a lot of mature ones in there, they just don't get pressured except by me and whoever I call for up there so they get the chance to get older.

I might hunt out of that, however after seeing multiple turkeys out of it last fall and getting busted from up there (you get skylighted up there pretty easy) I may hunt out of the Brickhouse instead. I also don't know if the turkeys will concentrate in this exact spot much now because the feed is goneas of about a week or so ago(PA law says 30 days before season starts all feed has to be gone), they primarily use a shelf behind this as strutting area on their way out of the trees and only occasionally go to this spot with no feed there. I did call in a nice 10" bearded bird in this exact spot though last spring for my dad, that was his first spring bird. That was quite a day, I called another one in earlier for him that put on quite a show but dad spooked him at about 40 yards out. Only an hour later, I managed to call another in for him right where this camera is at.

Those are some great pics. I am quite jealous because it looks like you have a great spot all set up for the season. I have been out scouting for birds over the last month or so but have not had anywhere near as much good fortune. I might try to put my cam out a few places to see if I can get any bird pics.

On a related note, I see you are from NY but you mentione PA law..is your hunting camp/area in PA?

I lived in PA for 9 years, at different points in Huntington, Tioga, and York counties and just moved north about 2 years ago to NY. This property is my hunting property in Bradford County near a small town called Canton.......I do a lot of my hunting here.
