I'm in the same boat as D3vo, gobbler's all henned up. Congrats to you!

Congrats to both of you! Looks like a great appetizer. You're dang right, doesn't get any better.

Is there a turkey "failed" hunt thread? Because that's the only one I'm qualified to post in so far. Those hens are getting to the gobblers before I can get them to strut my way.

I went out Saturday morning and forgot my spray. But the day before I sprayed my boots with Repel 100. My buddy who was calling for me got 23 ticks on him sitting right next to me. I had none.

Very beautiful. Looks like you had a great time.

Awesome time!

Awesome! Getting me hyped up for next weekend.

There's bears in them there hills!

Very cool! We might see some video on the Outdoor Channel

I'm in the same boat dickenscpa. Moles ruining my yard. Sorry to derail the topic.

Happy birthday! Here's to many more hunts.

That boy will remember that for the rest of his life. And may spark a big hunting interest in him. Kudos!

I'll bump for this question. I've never seen a hog out in the wild. Only at the slaughter house.

Hah! Some big company should sponser a prize to hunt in the presidential palace.

Aweome time! Wabbit for supper.

Great advice! I'm loving this board. Thanks for being so willing to share. I'm always open to opinion, as well as fact.

Dang, this one is pretty cool too. Thanks for the info. May get it too. Only $2.

Ouch! What a way to go. Actually, I think that may be the way I'd like to die.

So I guess I was mistaken about there being a strict limit on age harvesting? Not sure where I heard that. Guess it's an old wives tale that got passed down over the decades. I know not to kill the real young ones (that practically look like does), but always heard you're "supposed" to take out the older (I guess meaning 4 1/2+ yr old) bucks first. I'm not hunting for trophies (right now). So it's more important to know this since I'm not going for the rack.

Thanks! I'll check it out tonight! I just happen to have $13 left on the ole iTunes card

whiskey, awesome input. Thanks a bunch! Per your answer on negotiating areas with other hunters on WMAs: What is an acceptable range to stay away from others? Example; if someone is setup on the edge of a field or deep in the trees in a stand, should you stay clear of that field entirely, or how far from the other hunter in the trees should you stay away? I have an iPhone too. I guess I'll try just using the map on there first. I wish someone would write a hunting app with a GPS feature for hunters! R_Bert, I completed the hunters ed course when I was in 4th grade (then my elementary required it for all of us in 5th grade so I took it again way back then). Ah, back in the day when we could shoot clay targets on the playground after the course completed. You won't see that ever again. I remember an uprising when they told my friends we couldn't bring firearms on school property anymore. They all used to hunt before school and had their rifles hanging in their trucks. Now you get a year's suspension if you have a spent shell in your floorboard. However after browsing the link you gave me, I noticed that the new course has several areas that we never went over. I think I might go over it a couple of times. You guys are awesome! Thx a bunch for the info.

Good info!

I was curious on how to properly age deer by sight and came across this great video on Bass Pro Shops website: http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CFPage?storeId=10151&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&template=video.cfm&cat=Hunting&subCatID=10&connectionSpeed=hd&videoID=638&startRow=0&videoType=prodcutdemo&option=2&cmid=OLPHVIDEO_638_HD It got me to thinking; what is a proper age to harvest a deer? I know in the heat of hunting, people get excited (or frustrated) and sometimes kill a buck that is not yet of harvesting age. But what is the generally accepted age range to harvest?

That looks like a ton of fun.

Looks like you guys had a blast. I found out about it too late. I talked with a buddy of mine that went and he said it was awesome. I have 2 daughters, (5) and (9mths). The 5yr old hasn't shown much interest yet, but I thought about seeing if she was interested in bow shooting sometime soon. Maybe take her turkey hunting this year. We're trying to clear some land for a shooting area and bow practice. When it's done, hopefully she'll be interested in coming with me.
