I haven't heard one in a week or more. Yesterday while going to nursery to get fruit trees saw 3 or 4 turkeys, 1 nice gobbler about 1:30. I read that turkeys have sort of evolved that if there are a lot of turkeys sometimes the younger gobblers won't gobble because they may have been in fights with the boss hog of the woods and just be quiet. May be true?

Poor ole hornet, I hope he felt every bite!!!!!!!!!!!

The gov't may need to do a study and place a lower harvest in an attempt to keep population levels higher.

I would danged sure have gone, provided the guide didn't ask a ton of $$$. LOL I make snake shot shells our of .357 brass, open up the primer hole a bit, Bullseye, I use my lubrisizer to cut wads out of thin cardboard like cereal boxes or ammo boxes and either hot glue or melted paraffin wax to seal them.

Ya'll are joking with the gun references I know. But I have seen a reload recipe for .38 or .357 using small amount of powder and either grits or cornmeal and seal it with wax for shooting the carpenter or boring bee's. You know a gun guy will figure out something that needs to be shot!!

Well all the only thing I don't see in weather forecast is snow. Supposed to be 39 Wednesday night, 36 Friday night and 35 Saturday night. That is the reason my tomatoes and peppers are safe inside when it isn't nice outside. At 35 we could get a light frost. I questioned how it could frost at 34 or 35 and they measure the temperature about 5 feet off of the ground and naturally it is a bit cooler at the ground. So ya'll watch the forecast and keep them 'maters covered up. Hope everyone has a great garden this year!!

I should have known. They say behind every successful man there is a woman directing him!! LOL

Looking good Greg. Did you have help or do that all by yourself? Hope you have a bountiful harvest.

May have been a TGO member that had too many guns. Dropped gun and grabbed the turkey!!. Men gotta do what men gotta do to feed the family. I needed that laugh this morning. Thanks Kahr man

Danged David that is 2 coyotes, maybe after turkey season we may need to set up and thin out your coyote herd!!

Yes on that day 89 men fro 23 towns in Massachusetts were killed or wounded in Concord. By the next morning Massachusetts had 12 regiments in the field. Within 1 week 16,000 men from 4 New England colonies formed a siege outside British occupied Boston. The British thought every able-bodied male had become a soldier.

Well guys at 67killed my first turkey, only hunted turkeys a couple times in my life. Funny thing I was out back stacking firewood and heard him gobble about 100 yards down in a bottom. I broke and ran and put on some camo grabbed my 870, seat and eased out front of barn into the woods about 60 yards. Sit down cut at him and he waited 5 minutes and gobbled, he wouldn't answer me but about every 4 or 5 minutes he would gobble. About 20 yards to my 2 o'clock came a lone hen and she messed around for 5 minutes hunting her sister I guess. I putted to her as she was walking away, she turned looked and eased off. Gobbler gobbled in same place so after 5 minutes I decided to move half way to him, I stood up and was getting my seat and he gobbled 50 yards down the hill. Now it was getting interesting. I sat down got gun on my monopod, flipped safety off and every few minutes would putt at him. Since this was my first turkey and not videoing I didn't waste much time when he came in, at 25 yards with a 2 3/4" #6 reload I put him down, he was flopping pretty good and I shot him again with a 3" #5, made him a jellyhead. Spurs were 3/4" with a 9 1/2" thick beard. Didn't have a scale, but a nice turkey. 2 or 3 weeks before season I saw 3 longbeards 40 yards from my window at computer desk, so I knew we had a few. Sorry for the long post. I ain't saying I am hooked, but if I had went fishing I wouldn't of got him. Shot him at 1:05P.M.

And I will guarantee he remembers that day very well also. I still say caning and hanging can solve a goodly bit of our prison overcrowding problem!!

Since you are going to plant sunflowers, sounds like the makings of a great dove hunt. I and my SX2 are available to keep them under control.

Happy Easter to all!! My prayer is that all that don't know Jesus would seek him this day!!

Exactly what I think would be the best option. I know that millions of times per year just the sight of a gun pointed at a bad guy, makes him not so bad.

Or possibly it was gifted to the whole world by someone wanting to get rid of a bunch of people?? I have decided that the "experts" are really scratching their heads about this man made virus!!

Makes it easier to smoke that Marlboro too!!

Prayers for the families. This won't make national news because it was a lowly knife that was chosen weapon.

Really? But in another thread you take your dog out walking a couple of times a day. Oh the shame you out of your house.

Ok explain why the list of essential items says, kayaking, hiking etc. etc. as long as social distancing is applied? Less harmful than going to the grocery store or the pharmacy?? I am taking it seriously. And seriously it seems as though the "medical experts" are pulling the speech of the day out of there butts. 1st don't need a mask unless you are sick, now well maybe a mask is ok, but we need to keep them for the medical professionals. Plus the fact they don't care if old people die, we are taking the precious money out of social security although we and are employers put it all in!!

Good deal, congrats. That video will be priceless in about 40 or 50 years from now when she shows her grand kids!!!

I started to open another thread, but this will suffice. Ok I can pull my boat and go fishing. Can I drive 100 miles buy a boat and take it fishing?? Not trying to be smart alec really want to know. Thanks guys.

Ok Greg you can go fishing now. It is official!! Hope you catch a bunch.

Ok Dave I undestand you are former LE, is pulling a boat considered essential according to Gov. Lee? Really curious.
