Wayne, it's good to know that they all weren't killed last spring. There were enough hunters out there to have put a big dent in the population. I hear they are considering making the turkey tag extra again. I'm all for it. Maybe that would keep some of the dumb@$$es that don't know anything about hunting turkeys(and don't want to learn) out of the woods. Plus it would give more revenue to manage flocks. Absolutely nothing against newcomers to the sport, but when you've got guys who say "Yeah, we thought since we had a tag we'd come over here and see if we could sneak up on one" that scares the hell out of me. What did you think of my decoy? I hope to put it to use on Labor Day. Good luck on your trip!

I really look forward to hearing the successful and not-so-successful stories in the coming weeks and months. That's half the fun, sharing the stories with your buddies.



Hunt hard, live right, and tell your kids you love 'em!

The rumors of my demise have been greatly exagerated <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> Have a lot of catch up to do on the board... I've been busier than a one legged man in a butt kickin' contest... things ought to start settle n' down now... Hope everyone is doing well. Can't wait for the fall - I'm all ready for it.

well all i have some good news and some BAD news. i was up early and ran to wal-mart to get somethings for the opener this weekend.so i am on my way back and about 3 miles from my house i see something on the side of the road that gets my attention, now keep in mind i am going about 65. so i am looking over and its a HUGE flock of wild turkeys. {now this is amazing to me because my wife and i have searched the whole area and seen nothing,we had heard storys that NWTF had released some up in the area but we looked and looked with no avail} so i am checking out this flock totally shocked when i look back in front of me and out of nowhere a hen flies up from the shoulder on my side of the road. i didn't even have time to start to hit the brake.WHAM<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle> i nail her, so i pull off on the side off the road real quick get out and walk back to see if she had any chance, well she was gone<img src=icon_smile_dead.gif border=0 align=middle> but the saddest part that made me feel horrible is there coming up the shoulder are about four little poults peeping at her and she was long gone. so i get back in the truck after moving her off the road and i get home my wife is outside with thedogs asks me whats on the front of the truck. i walk up and there in the grill is a whole wing stuck. so i went inside dressed in all black and morned for the rest of the day<img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

afternoon all Hope everyone is having a good weekend, sorry I haven't been on here, been busy with this class, so much homework, writing papers, and speeches. The inspection went well only had three kids in the class fail, I passed. Yesterday went and looked at some land to duck hunt on, very nice 9 miles right along the coast, the season opened up here today, But the county I live in doesn't alow hunting on sundays, oh well. Well good luck to all that are hunting today!!!!

Sorry I'm a little late. But GOOD LUCK!!! to all you stick flickers.

Gun controll is using both hands!!!

Hello all. I'm getting ready to hop in the truck in an hour or so to head to Stampede Pass to look for a bull. I figured there wasn't any point in sleeping since I'd have to leave so early anyway, and I can never get to sleep the night before the first hunt. I'll take a nap before first light in the comfort of my Chevy, and maybe a midmorning siesta under a tree somewhere. Robb, I'll think about you as I'm up in the clouds blowing on an elk call. How's your weather today?

Any other stick-n-string toters on here have any luck so far? Hopefully Wayne will drop a nice one this week, and tell us all about it when he gets back.

Hunt hard, live right, and tell your kids you love 'em!

Evening all hope all is well, been busy today, mowing the yard and chaning out the fuel pump in my jeep, that was fun yeah right, the weather has been alright, no rain!!! little windy but other than that the sun actually came out a couple of times today! They started cutting the wheat fields today, the smell rememinds me of home!!! Wish every one the best of lcuk!!!

Well other than locating some really good big buck sign and shooting a fat grouse, not much happened today. I got some good exercise, and spent the morning in the beautiful outdoors. I didn't find much in the way of elk sign, but did find a few fresh elk rubs. Nice looking spot, so hopefully I'll see something next time. I realized that I'm too old for making hunting trips without any sleep though. I'm wiped out. I should've known better, and will next time. Good night all.

Hunt hard, live right, and tell your kids you love 'em!
