Ah, that's a really good point! I have primarily killed "mountain birds" (which folks in real mountainous areas might call ours hills) who had little to no access to ag fields. This turkey however was situated in a prime area having lots of hardwoods and several huge fields that are planted in...

Congrats! Sounds like a neat hunt, thanks for sharing the story

That's interesting. I've never hunted any states farther N but assumed yall shoot a lot between 21-24lbs... I imagine you rarely kill mature toms under 20? Based on the size of some of the birds these guys kill on this property, compared with ones I kill in a different part of the county and...

Dani - Thanks, two days later and I'm still excited!... well, that's pretty typical anytime I kill a turkey but I have a feeling I'll be saying the same thing several days from now. As for the private land, yes, I feel very fortunate for that opportunity. Earlier his year, my buddy shot a 21lb...

Jode - I hate to hear about those hang ups, and sympathize!... I messed up two weeks ago and took a rush shot at a bird at borderline range. In hindsight, I knew better but it was 11:30AM and I still had a 25min walk out of the woods before I needed to meet some folks for lunch... wish I would...

Thanks Al! It takes me sucking up my pride to post more than pictures on this site since it's full of so many good writers and storytellers (such as yourself). I did some editing after reading it over a few times so I'm glad you were able to fight through my 1st draft, ha.

Well, I've been trying to keep from talking too much turkey except via emails to Sutton and texting pictures to J. Russell & Brian Story but this was is just too good not to share (a.k.a. brag) with the duckboats.net masses. Sorry in advance for the unedited, long-winded story so skip to end for...

Eric - This is the ultimate seal of approval right there, ha! BTW, my family is mad I didn't order any for them so I'll have to up my qty next go around (if/when there is one)

Zach, I don't know whether to give you a "good luck" or "condolences" on the new hobby, ha! It consumes me like no other hobby and I'm a true duck-a-holic as well... Don't get discouraged and keep your current attitude and you'll be posting a "1st bird" post before you know it. I'm sure you...

alright, congrats! I envy you in a way because our season only has 10days left... really need to start taking some northern road trips so I can extend the season in to May. Good luck on rest of the season.

alright! great stories to go along with the pics.

So I just now noticed the sticky... oops. Is it too late to place the order? Looks like you went to the printer yesterday for the last bunch.

very neat... I see lots of traps set by local muskrat trappers here in N. AL but that's it. Curious to know if they make much money down here because it seems the furs would be less than prime with our warmer temps.

wow, beautiful calls! I actually forgot you made them as well. Do any slate/pot calls? I've been meaning to try my hand at it for years but just keep procrastinating. I had hoped to let my wife redeem herself as well from last year's miss but we haven't been able to work it into the schedule...

Eric - I didn't get anything but still want an Grey XL with no pocket (can't rem the options but I'll take pocket if that's the standard). What do you need from me?

It's that time of year here in our part of the country and I guess that means yall are still a couple of weeks away? You scouting out a particular gobbler(s) to use some new decoys on (did you post completed pics of the works-in-progress you posted a month or so ago)? In the duckboats.net...

Tod - Didn't read all the responses but I was in the same boat as you last year and shelled out the money for some of the Hevi-shot Magnum Blends 3.5" last and they patterned great (1994 model MB 835 with 24" barrell and jellyhead). One stone cold kill at 32yds (no flopping) and hammered another...

just curious why you are washing them? I'm all for taking care of my equipment but never even considered washing (or even cleaning off) decoy bags... if you have a valid reason other than being a clean freak then I might need to do the same, ha.

Group hugs are a thing of the past... group "selfie" is what we need now. :)

Scott - I'm going to have to vote against the pocket if that is ever brought to a vote... I'm an engineer but try not to look like one outside of work. I've heard enough "where's your pocket protector?" jokes and purposefully avoid shirts with pockets. :) Oh and I'm not sure how old you are...
