Idaho Success! At 730am
 

First Morning success, Thanks to Shed33 knowing where they were.

spurs are 1 1/4 and 1 3/8 beard is 9.5. His beard is pretty beat up, but mine would be too if I lived in the country where he did. There were 2 other gobblers with him and 2 hens. I shot him just as a wind storm was moving in. What made the hunt though was taking that bird with a new friend. Shed33 was nervous because I had gotten aweful quiet and wasn't saying anything, he thought that I wasn't having a good time. I finally after quite a few minutes was able to tell him that I was just speechless with everything that I had seen. I was in awl with my surroundings. What beautiful country there is there. I saw my first Elk up close and personal in the wild (now I understand what you all talk about) I saw White tails, Mule deer, Elk, Turkeys, live and all of the following animal tracks: Moose, Bobcat, Coyote, Wolf, Cougar, Bear.
I hope you all are having as GREAT a season as I am. Like I said in the TURKEY challenge, I hope you all have the oppurtunity of making a new friend and get to hunt with him or her, I know I have made some new friends for life on both of my hunts this year.

Those aren't specs..... they're turkey feather markings.[8D]

NC hunter, No I didn't we couldn't get back into the bear area because of snow. But we did watch a real good looking clear cut that was full of elk white tails and mule deer all eating in harmony together, I had seen before where someone had said that they don't feed together, Well let me tell ya that clear cut was full of em all feeding together.
