    Got my Cougar

    I shot this Cougar last week here in New Mexico. I went with Wayne Billings. He operates WB Guide Service near my home town. We treed this Tom after about four hours. I just got the skull measured for SCI tonight and he scored 14 13/16. He might make the minimum of 14 8/16 after the 60 day...

    New Mexico Governor's Elk Tag

    The lucky winner of the New Mexico Governor's Elk tag has decided to sell it to the highest bidder this year. The person who won it at the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation banquet is the wife of one of my best friends. For those of you not familiar with this tag, it allows the person with the tag...

    Turkey Hunting Ethics

    Well fellas, there is such thing as sportsmanship. There is around here. I feel it is irresponsible for people to aggravate hunters or wildlife just prior to or during a hunt. Nut, in my opinion, you should have every right to be pissed off. It's a crying shame that there are people out there...

    Like a rocket!

    The turkey hunting got tough towards the later part of our NM season. One of my best friends was here from California to hunt with me for a couple of days and we were having no luck at all. The gobblers just wouldn't come in. Hard to explain their actions but really strange. Finally on the...

    I got a nice one, eh?!

    I found out later what really happened. MITCH and I were trying to circle around a gobbler that we had called in and had lost interest. We looked around and Tom was gone! He had this old turkey tied up in the next canyon and finally was able to sneak away from us and get him without us seeing...

    whats the easiest way to make a cutt

    Cutting isn't always a pretty sound. I never mastered it well with a slate, but can do some serious cutting with several different diaphram mouth calls. It can sometimes make the difference too. Moosie has heard me do some cutting with a diaphram mouth call.

    What's the best

    I use a Mossburg M500 12ga #in. Mag with a Carlson's ported turkey choke. I use winchester XX Mag. Turkey Loads with 2 oz of #6 shot. I try to use whatever camo looks to match best where I am hunting.. I normally only use mouth diaphram calls. I carry from 8 to 12 of them (or more) that produce...

    i need serious help!!!

    The idea is just as Ithica 37 suggested. Use tree yelps. Really soft. From my experience, you probably shoudn't use any puts though at this point. A decoy is always a good idea. If the area is open, the gobblers probably expect to see the hen before going toward it. Hard to tell for sure. Is it...

    New Mex. Merriams and picture

    I have a lot to be thankful this morning. Had a great hunt (short, but great). The season started here in New Mexico three days ago, but couldn't get out and try to call in a gobbler 'till this morning. I parked the truck and started walking down the ridge. It was just about time for the...

    Tex. Rio Grande story and picture

    As another hunt talk member likes to quote, "It's not the gobbler, it's the gobble!" What a fun hunt. Good hunting, and good friends! Hard to beat! Thanks for the kind words guys!

    Tex. Rio Grande story and picture

    This was my second attempt to add a Rio Grande gobbler to my collection. My first attempt was last year with a bow on the "Hunt Talk Group Hunt", with Moosie and Tom, and MITCH. (a whole different story). I couldn't wait to get after them again! With a shotgun this time. I was able to get on a...
