Adam, I stand corrected thank you.

Adam, That is all well and good. Waste Not Want Not. We have a program like that here for venison. My question IS when you donate the meat/breasts Is One Wing Attached to the Breast as the law states? This was a major issue when we wanted to have birds processed and have them smoked while...

OK I gotta chime in again cuz I can't help it. At one time SASK was very good at enforcing the laws that were on the books. In many cases a Mountie would accompany SASK Wildlife officers during game checks. My hunting partner and I went through that more than once. When that did happen you know...

I'm glad to say that my hunting partner and I did Not fall into the 85% of non resident hunters category. The beauty and allure of staying many weeks and enjoying ourselves with no rush or pressure was fantastic. As I wrote prior the war on snow geese changed that. In fact we began to not hunt...

Bob, Glad to read that your getting back to better health, and your productive lifestyle. Keep On Keepin' On! Best regards Vince

My goodness how Stupid can those guys be to hunt with safety Off. I have hunted pheasants for over 60 years in lots of places. Worked on a Game Farm that taught me better than anything else about shooting pheasants. First - They fly LOW damn near all the time. Second - You have more than enough...

Bob, That certainly was a doozy of a decoy auction. I took down off the shelf the The Rare Decoy Collection of George Ross Starr, Jr.,MD, Richard Bourne auction catalog from May 2 & 3, 1986. The Joe Lincoln drake Wood Duck drake sold for $205,000 at that auction. It sold for $1,260,000 at the...

From a young age I planned to do it over my lifetime, not in one year. My belief was that I would enjoy it more over a longer span of time. So far it has worked. I've had a Big Life in that regard. my 2 cents

Mark, My hope is that NY goes to a all day hunt in the Spring at least part of the season as PA and other states have done. The latest that I've killed a gobbler is 11:50 am. My in at full dark days for Spring turkey are just about over. I have plenty of enjoyment from 8am until noon. It is...

Sunfish/Bluegills & Crappies my favorite Food Fish. Ya did good. Spring turkey hunting and fishing go hand in hand. That said many a gobbler is killed late in the morning and especially if ya gotta stop hunting at noon. "Stick and Stay it's bound to pay." More than once I've had to leave the...

I was fortunate that my mentors were all WWII vets (this was prior to safety courses). Handling guns in a safe manner was first and foremost with zero tolerance for errors, and strict supervision. I shot my first pheasant at age 9, with a .410, on a game farm with my 3 cousins and our mentors...

Dave, That makes me smile Big Time. The man knew his stuff inside and out. Best regards Vince

For those that are interested google Roger Latham. On more than one occasion Mr. Latham stayed at a hunting camp on German Hill near Tionesta, PA. The camp was owned by a very good friend of my uncle Frank and in the 1960's and 1970's I was at that camp often. Not that many miles away is Game...

One of the first things that Ben Rogers Lee told my cousin and I was. "Never ever use a light. Use your night vision." Thank goodness my night vision has been good, but like all things ya gotta work at it to get it, and keep it. Yes I do carry a good light as a "just in case emergency tool"...

Dave, Thank you for the enjoyable story of your hunt and good luck tomorrow. I had a very good friend that was a die hard turkey hunter in Fall and Spring. His favorite kind of hunting was the ambush. He would scout, observe and pattern turkey then determine the place he had to be. It more...

After my first MI I did lots of research and inquiry as to what game was best for me to eat on a regular basis.. Bison and Moose topped the list, then Elk. I've been a bird, waterfowl & small hunter (all kinds) all my life cuz that is what I could afford and do most often. Deer hunting is a must...

Mark, Congratulations that's a fine gobbler. Silent has become the norm in PA & NY for many years. Years ago while hunting pheasants in SD one of our group asked the friend and guide. "Why don't the roosters Cackle?" That gene pool is gone. They cackle they Die... he replied. Made sense to...

Oh my goodness how good to read about "The Man" Ben Lee. We met him at the old Orvis Store in Tionesta, PA. My cousin and I were 18 and it was the first season in PA. He was kind enough to give us some personal lessons, and tips a day before the opener. They paid off, we called in a bird but a...

Tod wrote the best advice you can get as far as I'm concerned. A M.L. Lynch World Champion Turkey Call I bought in 1968 (the 1st Spring Turkey Season in PA.) for $7.95 still brings em in Close. Ya I have lotta calls but nothing touches that one. HAVE PATIENCE, it pays off Big Time. my 2 cents
