I hunted by the Ft. Randall dam this weekend. Saw a ton of birds but there were not responsive at all. The jakes wanted to roll but I never heard a good tom gobble all weekend and they would not come off hens. Still a little early I think. I ended up getting a good one saturday afternoon with a shotgun and got real close with a bow on sunday but couldnt finish the deal. It was an incredible weekend to hunt in some awsome country.

Anyone thinking about heading out to the hills for a little altitude hunt? I bet the weather around Custer has those Toms all stirred up.

If I get a chance in the next few weeks I am headed West for the smell of pine.

Just got back from doing a little hunting west river. All I have to say it was fantastic. Birds gobbling and lots of action. Weather was perfect for turkey hunting. Calm with cool mornings. Hunted pretty hard and did bag a nice tom with 10 inch beard and weighed 22 pounds. Man those Meriam birds are pretty. A lot more colors than the easterns we have around my neck of the woods. Gotta love South Dakota!!SB

Tyler, I have always had a problem getting a photo to come up on this site. I really need a lesson on putting photo's on here. Any suggestions please advise. I understand you have to put them on another HSOforum for loading onto this one and I know how to do that, but resizing the pics to get them on here is the problem. I do use an 8 mega pixel camera and have a hard time getting them toned down to fit the page. SB

Super Black,

I dont know what you use to host your photos, but I use photobucket. There is an option on there where you can edit your photos and resize on there, 50% etc, its super easy and it also has the code right there for you to grab, when your ready to post.

I use another program at home to resize my photos and I cant think of it right now, and my remote desktop is down right now no I cant check it.....but I will post it when I think of it.

S.B.,

Nice job, nice photo. Turkey hunting is my favorite. My 9 year old daughter had a great experience, but wasn't able to to finish the deal. It would have been a tough shot for an experienced hunter, so I guess we will just wait for next spring. It makes me ill thinking I have to wait that long. Time to fish.
