Congrats mws! There's really no way to make a good picture out of a wet bird. Think positive - the crappy picture will help you remember the tough conditions you battled to take him!

You could take a hairdryer to him if it isn't too late.

Here is the picture of the youth that I took out a week ago last Saturday...very happy kid!

Here is the bird that we helped with at the DAV (Disabled American Veterans) Turkey Hunt up at Camp Ripley last week.

Nicely done Ryan! How'd the Ripley hunt go? I'd be interested in hearing some details/stats on that one.

9 birds shot on Wednesday...or was it 8...hmm I will have to call someone. Man did I see deer tho...wow!

Way to go mws! Persistence payed off big time for you. That's one in the snow and one in the rain. bmc you are going to have to break the mold and shoot your monster in the sunshine. Keep it going guys!

[rbs]

Nice bird! I did have to chuckle tho when I saw the picture...lol. I hate hunting in the rain!

[bmc]

Way to go guys!

I'm getting my gear together today. I'm pumped up big time!! It will be a LOOOONG night at work tomorrow night.

I'll be hunting Tuesday afternoon through Friday morning if needed.

It looks like the weahter will cooperate for the most part, although there's a chance of showers on a few of the days I'll be hunting.

With a light dusting of snow on the ground here this a.m., I wonder if I'll need a little propane heater to stay warm in the blind?

Thats what I used this morning for the youth I brought out, without it I think we would have been done by 8 but we were able to make it till 10. Plus there a great way to warm up some pop tarts for a snack

Wash it down with a hot thermos of coffee... now you're talking! Upper 20's in the morning - heater might not be a bad idea!

Happy Birthday Archerysniper!

Good Luck bmc !!

Well guys, I'm back.

Never saw a turkey while out hunting, didn't even hear any while out hunting. We did see 3 hens together Wed. afternoon on the way to the blind.

Can't figure it out. Last spring we saw birds 8 out 10 sits (we sat mornings 0530 to 10-1030 and afternoons from 4-8). I hunted the same area as last year and sat 6 times mornings/evenings. The place we stayed at had been seeing them regularly near the areas where we set up.

I was bowhunting so I didn't do any "run and gunning". Not sure what to think? Maybe the toms were "henned up" and laying low???

On a brighter note, my wife is showing interest in turkey hunting next spring. Might have to find an area farther south w/ more birds?

Well it sounds like you certainly made the effort. Sometimes it just goes that way. Hopefully you can get your wife hooked up and you will be set. Better luck next time. Who's up next?
