RE: From Kitchen Window this Afternoon
 

Bldhound ...LOL..[8D][8D]....sorry..;) tiggeer

RE: From Kitchen Window this Afternoon

Nice view though:D

RE: From Kitchen Window this Afternoon
 

Trapper....trust me....sitting here kust watching em is tougher....lol...like right now....there's 30+ hen's...and 7 tom's right below the house....and swear they've been there all day..[:@]...Sound's like ya'll had a great day yesterday anyway....Glad to hear she was soooo "Excited"..:)

RE: From Kitchen Window this Afternoon
 

We saw a lot of Turkeys yesterday, but didnt get one, most were on private land and the landowners dont allow Turkey hunting, so we lucked out....Had some chances just tough for me to have slower people with me when I'm hunting...I have learned that if a tom starts moving away to get ahead of it as quickly as possible and set up and purr, but having slower hunter's with me we couldnt move fast enough to get ahead...Overall it was a good couple of days and I will be out thursday by myself

Wayne
Thats it ol' buddy boy I'll show you..................I think i'll not go to work on Wed! LMAO I need to get away from here, my neighbor is out there @ 10:20 in the evening with the car stereo blasting................some kind of racket, all I can here is BOOM boom boom BOOM. I started to ask them if they wanted me to play with my BOOM but I don't want to be in jail for turkey season. Knowing them they recorded me playing with my "night light" & that would seal my fate. LOL I did find my night vision that I'll bring over to play with also in my pack I found the safety harness for that stand. Laura got home safe & sound, she said that she was ready for a real turkey hunt. I gave her some mandatory reading "The truth" by Cuz Strickland to let her know that there wasn't exact rhyme or reason for doing things when turkey hunting. That it was just a learning expeirence & the decisions were based on the grounds of being in that spot before or making a WAG (Wild A$$ed Guess). I also told her when she asked "Was this the right thing to do?", that it only mattered at that point in time & given to do it 10 times over would give her 10 different results. I told her the most important thing is to learn what to do & when to do it b/c some of the worst calling I've ever heard has come from a live wild turkey. That when she made a mistake to not stop but to cover it with a good note.

Have you got any more of that salt(pics) to rub into the open wounds? LOL See you Wed afternoon/evening! If I don't work I can run by Mr Mc place & try to talk to him real quick. Tell Ms Diane that I did pass on to Ms Laura again that she liked her gift.

Wayne ,Thats a nice view from your kitchen window . mine is not from the kitchen obviously . ;)

RE: From Kitchen Window this Afternoon
 

I hear your pain..Wayne. I think that would probably drive me nuts a little more so.My neighbor has three domestics and right now he's a little upset with me cuz I can only stand so much gobblin' before I slip in a mouth call and let those turks have it. I get them so wound up almost everyday that just my dog's movement in my yard sends the two toms into a frenzy that won't stop til they go to roost;):D. Then this weekend my uncle called from Rice and told us the big guy made it throug last year and was buggin' him bad. I might head over on the second weekend? We popped a shot at him last year but nothing. The bad part is is I have no camo that looks like trailerhouse siding LOL. Seems his strut zone is there walk up to the front porch?

Anyone have lawn chair camo? Maybe with a cooler attached for when I get parched?:D;)

RE: From Kitchen Window this Afternoon
 

Halcon, kind of tough not to test out a new "load" from time to time ...huh?LOL;) Or have you, I notice the rest is pretty well positioned in the window there;)

RE: From Kitchen Window this Afternoon
 

Halcon,

You've got the same problem Wayne does.......................your house can be used as a blind. A blind with the creature comforts as home, like Wayne says though it's just not hunting. I told Wayne more than once that I couldn't live over there, I would be locked up in a insane ward somewhere.........seeing & hearing turkeys all year long ways to hard on a turkey hunter. I would go nuts from sleep deprevation, I would be walking around talking like Bubba. There's turkey sandwiches, turkey gumbo, turkey soup, turkey baked, turkey salad, turkey, turkey, turkey.............................for days!!!:D

RE: From Kitchen Window this Afternoon
 

Nice pics - looks like the flock from the window has split up a little compared to the other pic you showed off your front porch a few days ago. I cant wait bout' 48 hours until I get to make the trip over. I'm sure somebody has mentioned this but was there a good hatch last spring and summer and howd the birds manage through the winter?

RE: From Kitchen Window this Afternoon
 

Any body know what time its getting light out now with the time change, I woke up at 4:45 this morning and it was still dark. This is in Yakima

RE: From Kitchen Window this Afternoon
 

Kirkl, I'd be headin' out into the woods by then, on a clear morning like this last weekend light started showin' up about 5am.

RE: From Kitchen Window this Afternoon
 

oh ya, ill be in the woods way before then i was just tryin to see what time it gets light cause i woke up a little while after that and the sky was just getting a little orange but didnt look at my watch.

RE: From Kitchen Window this Afternoon
 

Bigsmooth35 ...Had a great hatch last year...lot's of jake's running around this spring. The flock's around here are still pretty good size...so might be alittle tough in the morning's to get the Tom's away from all the hen's running around............................................ ..kirkl
...Been getting sorta light here around 5:20-5:30. I've had bird's on the ground here about 5:50-6:00.............................................. ...........halcon ....."Great Pic"........................................Bldhou nd...I believe in awhole lot of "Convergince"...in sucsessfull hunting.....lol................................... .....................tiggeer ...Hang in there.....at least ya got to be around em....do you pack your tennies with ya..???....lol

RE: From Kitchen Window this Afternoon
 

Converge, converse, congregate or con something man I need some heavy medication to put me under until Thur. morning. Oh Lord give me the strength not to go to Safeway & set up calling in the meat department............I'd have to go by isle 7 to get a broom for a gun!!!:D:D:D

RE: From Kitchen Window this Afternoon
 

Bldhound, you can come out my way and we can torment these two toms my neighbor has he he he:D

It does work as therapy, my wife keeps telling me I'm bugging them,but man she don't know what a gobble does to guys like us?;)

RE: From Kitchen Window this Afternoon
 

I think the police are starting to catch on to the Safeway gig, think I'll try QFC or Albertsons next just to throw them off a little. Hey Eberg is on the way over in the a.m. might have to stop for a minute...............small meat dept. though................hummmm I'll have to call two of them big ol' suckers in!!!!! They don't talk to much....kinda sneek up on ya. Wayne by the time I get to your place we might need to go to town to buy a freezer! :D
