Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

What a day.

Default What a day.

Long story short, I got this joker to come into the set up at 12:01 today. Had a couple of other close calls this morning, with very little gobbling and steady rain early. Really hunted hard for this dude. I am obsessed with taking pictures, so I am going to post just a few of the 54 I took. All pictures were taken with a tripod and a timer. I was DEAD by the time I was done. If someone would have been watching me, they would of had a show!

21# 10: beard, and 1" spurs. First bird taken by myself at the new place. What I am guessing to be a good 2yr old. Saw 15 turkeys total, and 3 deer.

By the pond.

This picture was taken at the highest part of the farm. It is a lot higher than it looks here.

NICE. Way to go.

Nothing wrong with taking lots of pics. I love digitals for that reason.
