After the shot, you walk up and find him laying in the pine needles along the edge of a Michigan trout stream....

Carp Crik asks you to help him out recoverying his escaped Butterball.....you oblige by baiting the big dummy inot stick swatting range where you give him a "gooozle adjustment" with the murder weapon, (next time you might want to take stick you used to beat the poor pen raised Turkey to death with from the picture)....

And the Deer skull....the farmer must be in the "pay by the inch" Trophy Whitetail business....killed that one in the fall because it had no monetary value to him......

CSI solves yet another Anglin Mystery..........

NEXT?

I thought the stick was kinda funny too. That's why I left it. That bird went into a grand mal flutter caniption fit when I shot him. He was losing feathers as you can see. Carp Crik....I've only seen one in there and I hooked him on an egg pattern. Actually, that run behind the photo which is really high dirty water incidentally...like you could barely stand in it fast...that spot probably had more natural reproduction taking place than any other spot I'm aware of south of Grand Rapids.

Seriously...you gotta love those hooks man! That's the same watershed where I shot that one with the daggers 5 years ago. They are nearly as long...Like a tiny smidge under 1 3/8s, I guess that'd be 1 11/32's...but 1 3/8s sounds so much better. He was a tough old bird and spent his life flying back and forth across the river like he was a songbird.

Nice bird Jay and very nice pics. I need to start carrying a camera with me, but with the amount of other stuff, I leave it behind. I feel like it is a bad luck omen too, cocky bastard brings his camera and the goddess of the hunt will surely smote ya.

What a great opportunity to be in the woods at this time of year with the gun. I was in NY for the opener over the weekend and saw some great sights: foxes, turtles, coyotes, some great dicky birds and enough turkie to get my heart pumping and be able to roll a real nice longbeard. Turkie steaks with asparagus from the garden, wild ramps and homegrown fingerling potatoes is whats for dinnah tonight. CT season starts on Wed, so I'm giddy as a school girl.
 
Dave...fishing has been great actually. Very difficult conditions but since nobody is fishing I've owned the river.

Tod...I borrowed my wife's little crappy Canon that I've learned to get along with. The next investment for the vest and fishing box is that waterproof, shockproof, badass Olympus that takes 10 megapixels. I find myself regretting not taking more photos actually. I'm going to start taking TONS and filtering the BS out.

Good luck in CT and congrats on the longbeard.
