To each his own on gun preferances and if it ain't broke, don't fix it by all means. Nostalgia has a value that can't be counted. But, the present day semi-autos offer so much: choke tubes to cover all target options, 3 1/2" magazines (kind of the law of diminishing returns, IMHO, but great...

Congratulations, Andrew on a fine bird and hunt! Did you happen to measure the beard? I would guess it's beyond 11" and it appears there is a 2nd beard above the longer one. Did you verify if it had another beard?

Great stuff, Gary. I, too, like the shot with the spring colors in the background. When are you going to post up some pictures of a couple dead WA gobblers? If you need some help, my services are reasonably priced! :)

Hard to beat the Beretta Xtrema II - it's expensive, but worth it! I've enjoyed 8 years of dependable action out of my Xtrema I and am looking to upgrade to the Xtrema II. Just waiting for my 11 year old to get big enough to justify buying "him" an Xtrema II. That's how I'm going to sell it to...

Thanks for viewing and commenting. We still have one more gobbler to go for my 11 year old son's 2nd tag.

Thanks for looking and commenting.

I took my oldest son, Cody out on Sunday morning to a place that I had scouted locally and was fortunate enough to find some turkeys. Cody had some tough luck during the youth season and was still looking to tag a tom. This turned out to be a short but exciting hunt. The set up was difficult...

I headed up north for the turkey opener last Thursday night after Kyle's baseball game so I didn't get there in time to roost any birds. Didn't matter, the turkeys were in the same place they are every year when I showed up early on Friday morning. This might be the last year I get to depend on...

I'll add another thumbs up for the Cabela's Ultimate waders - 5 mm & 1600 grams of Thinsulate in the boot. I got 7 years of hard use out of the last pair before the seam in the crotch finally started leaking. That's outstanding durability for a neoprene wader. I also agree with the proper...

I sensed that you may not know the difference - that's why I asked the question. Thanks for not being offended. The immature toms (1 1/2 yr olds) are called jakes and they will have the longer center tail feathers. Length of beard and spurs is not as certain of age determination as the longer...

That is an impressive reel of photos. I'm so glad this site exists. I felt like I should have to pay to view those shots. Thanks for sharing them. I'm not sure if you are just kidding around about not knowing much about turkey anatomy so I'm just asking this question for fun and not...

That a way to get your season off to a great start. Very nice bird, too. Do you have another tag you plan to fill? Thanks for the great story and pictures.

Thanks so much for the welcome and the kind words. I look forward to getting to know all of you on this site. I have a good buddy who is a taxidermist so Kyle's 1st gobbler is taking shape as a decoy. His new mission is to lure in all of his brothers to join him in turkey heaven! Tyler has...

This is my first post. Gary March told me how great a site this was so I thought I would pass along the adventures of a WA state youth turkey hunt that I shared with my 2 young sons, Cody and Kyle. He said there were some turkey hunters on here that might enjoy it. I hope that's the case. I...

Gary, I got a moment to check in and start taking in this site. Naturally, I gravitated immediately to this post and was glad to see it. Awesome photos as usual! I sent you the update from the past weekend youth turkey hunt. Let me know if you think this site is appropriate for sharing the...
