Do I really want to go down the rabbit hole of showing countless turkey pics?
These guys off the roost and in on a string with some convincing.

There really isnt any other way to make it through the next 2 months without posting pics and looking at other peoples pics...although Hawaii opens in a week!

I've harvested my share of Easterns. Need to try out west in the near future. Here's a few over the years.

Opening day in Kentucky was tough, but midday they finally broke away from their hens.

First one of 2023 Tuesday morning. Great morning in the woods, birds were gobbling all around. Took an hr and a half of convincing but finally got him to break and come in for a look.

Got a good bird from MO on opening week. It's a place I've hunted since college, and have been playing cat & mouse with birds in the same roosting tree in a big ravine every year just over the property line. This is the first bird we got to play the game the way we wanted. Pretty good one, too- beard was close to 11", spurs over an inch (even the broken one). Bird was following three hens who milled around in front of me for a while, then came past in a good opening. He was trailing a bit, and finally showed himself bringing up the rear as they were leaving- bird down at 7:30. They came in to a push button call and leaf scratching- nothing wrong with going low-tech.

Dad had a bad cough and opted to hunt separate. Wish he had been there with me for this bird, but oh well- at least he was there for the pictures.

And last but not least- I'm sold on permethrin-treating your clothes. Found 20+ ticks crawling on my clothes, but not a single one was on my skin, and no bites anywhere. I'm never going turkey hunting again without it.

Dummkopf me can't post pictures!

Got my Idaho cross of Merriam/Eastern this morning. I spotted five crossing our field while having coffee, so told my wife to get up and grab her call. I headed down a ditch behind a fence line and got behind a tree and some brush. She started calling and here they came down the other side of the fence. Mr Tom took a lot of #6 shot in his head and neck at 15 yards from my 1960 era Mossy 500. Back to the house I went, got some twine, knifes, ss pan, paper towels and my sweet wife did the rest. I let the biggest one pass so she can get it next time.
