a couple of pictures from this year
 

gary's prize: a tom called in from approximately 1/2-3/4 of a mile away and a bag full of morels.

charity hunt
 

estimated shooting distance of 100 toms in the first morning, "2 down 98 to go"

bills rio
 

bill shot a great rio, and an even better eastern. this rio was called from a half mile, and his eastern was called through the toughest brambles to stand at our feet spitting and drumming/gobbling at 5 yards.

super tom
 

this pic may be a bit hazy but it is cause i am pressed up to the window of my truck fogging up the window hyperventelating. i left this tom alone, someone can kill him in the last week of season or next year.
