Howdy teammates,

I'll be hunting Idaho, Oregon and Washington this spring.  I'll be on Merriams, Rios and Eastern marked birds.  Will have stick and string as well as scattergun on all trips.  First have 2 youth hunters here in SW Idaho on 4/8-4/10  then I'm off to the clearwater country of central Idaho for myself and pals.  Then OR and WA for me then more youth hunters.  Hope to see a bunch of floppage again this spring.  Good luck to all ya.

Checking in for my daughter,she is 10 and looking to put down her second turkey. With her being a youth she can hunt the whole season so we have plenty of time to get it done. 

 

Hopefully she can get a bird even close to her first one and bring some points in for the team.

I'll be in south Texas. First season hunting em and man is it a ball. Not positive I'll have a chance to shoot another bird since there's really no such thing as public land down here, but I've been bugging my bud to let me get on his ranch and try again for a big tom!

Team one (need a name) did anyone have any success? I start Wed. I hunt mostly public land and there have been people in most of the best spots but still a couple that no one has bothered. We'll see. Name suggestions, Strutstoppers, Team Head Trauma, Team DOA, Spur Spankers. Anyone else have something?

Rylee had a lot of action on a new farm last night,called a nice tom into 30 yards and she missed. Right after that we had a jake run into the decoys and she passed and tryed he hardest to talk me into taking him with the bow,but we passed him. At 7 we had a giant come into 60 yards spitting and drumming for a hour until he finally came into 20 yards. The problem was she was so excited and shaking so bad she couldn't get steady enough on the sticks to take a shot.

Keep after him and she will get him. I had one this morning stay in the woods while the hens were in the field. He was about forty yards but never ever had anything close to a clear shot. Public land that I know was hunted first season and he acted like it. More patience on my part wouldn't have hurt either. I certainly do envy you guys that hunt within 5-10 miles of home. Everything I've got is 35 miles out. Still love it though

Well I joined the "If you hunt long enough you're going to miss" club this morning. Pulled a few feathers and that was it. I think I raised my head and shot high. Did anyone hear a loud F-bomb this morning about 7:30? That would have been me. Drive all over the country to find a bird and then miss. Grrrrr! Oh well, I get to keep hunting so there is a small positive to it. Try again in the morning.

She is still after them and hasn't changed her mind about taking one of the jakes yet. She came home early from school sick last night so we didn't hunt,landowner sent me a text at 4 that the big one was infront of the blind. Two nights ago he was pecking at it when we took a night off. It will happen one of these nights.

How do you guys rotate your pics when they are sideways before you submit them?

on my iPhone I take any photo I am uploading to HSO and hit "edit" and crop it right to left just the tiniest bit and it always comes through the correct direction on here.  100%

    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
    • Sketti...  not out of a jar either!
    • Lol yeah I watched that
