Nice turkey glad you got one. I past on one this morning with a 6 or 7 inch beard. I'm holding out for a good one. Going back in the morning before church. Maybe I will see a nice one. I know their there just been stubborn today. Again nice bird.

Well I just woke up guess I will be back in the morning before church. Dang 2 hours of sleep last night.

Well my other spot didn't pay off either. They were gobbling good but as soon as the sun came up they quit. Don't know but guess I will try again later.

Called in a few jakes and some hens. One of them had about a 6 or 7 inch beard, maybe a year and half old bird didnt shoot him looking for something a little better.Im off to another spot.

Well I'm up and getting ready. I'm headed out to Westmoreland. Seen a big beautiful turkey last year and my guts telling me I should go there. May not get him or heck even see him but im giving it a shot. Good luck everyone!

Wanted to wish everyone good luck and be safe. Hope I get one.

Rain or shine I'm going.

That's awesome! Can't wait till my little girl is old enough to get her first turkey.

Same here good luck to all the young hunters.

That was my main point. Do what you got to do as long as you have common sense, are within the law and you said it best Dave be SMART about it.

Oh and it may be cheaper to pay the fine but they can also take your gun and possibly more. As far as the coyote carcass in the freezer you wouldn't have to do that. All you have to do is notify any law enforcement agency in your county or the TWRA and tell them what the coyotes have done. If they eat your chickens or goats or whatever then all you have to do is show them the dead animals, again I would report it to cover my butt. You are making this more complicated than it needs to be. Any person with common sense knows when they have the right to protect their property.

Obviously you didn't read what I said. I simply said you must provide proof that the coyote or whatever is causing damage, if it is then yes you are well within your rights to protect your property. Lets say you see a coyote on your property at night, the coyote isn't causing any damage you put a spot light on it and shoot it, then yes it is illegal to do that. If you see a coyote on your property at night and it is killing or trying to kill your animals then yes it would be legal to kill. Also when you say shoot it, shovel it and shut up.....well that's why we have tough laws as it is because people like that.

A 22lr would do the trick especially if your trying to get rid of them.

If you shoot one you must provide enough proof that they where either going to harm you or your property. I've talked to several wardens and they told me that to many people are using an excuse that "the coyotes are killing my dogs or the coyotes are doing property damage" but come to find out the coyotes didn't do either. He said if you shoot one at night and if they come out, you have to show proof of the damage. It's a fine line but in the end I am going to do whats necessary to protect my property.

Yeah it could be worse.

The no limit means you can kill as many as you want. As long as you follow the regs.

It does get confusing at times, that's why I try to read them as much as I can.

Haven't been due to being busy. Animal distress like rabbit still works.

You can shoot them with centerfire. Only thing is turkey season and you cannot use centerfire until it's over.

Nice patterns

Who let your pet out ha ha!

The are some nice smallies.

I love to fish. Mainly for largemouth, smallmouth, black perch, catfish. I do fish for all other species but these are my favorites.

I got the first 5 days off of turkey season. Lord willing I will get a bird or 2.

Nice shotgun I hope you kill a big bird.
