FLnick87 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Finished my season in MN a few days ago. Ended up being a good year with getting a bird in Wisc and Minn. Wisc bird came in nice and was a half hour battle to get him to committ. Minnesota was a different story. Had two toms hang up at about a hundred yards with some hens then disapear back into the woods. about an hour later I went up to where they disapeared to find a spot to set up for later that afternoon since there had been a lot of activity in that corner of the field. When I got to the corner I heard something rustle in a patch of grass about 15 feet from me and out comes a tom running and clucking across the field. I ended up dropping him at about 25 yards. Not the way I wanted to get one, but it was my first MN tom. Both birds had 8 1/2 to 9 1/2 inch beards 3/4 and inch spurs. Got pics...just dont know how to post them!

DonBo Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 MJ, nice job on the archery bird, they rarely come easy.FLNick, you need to upload them to a seperate site (like Photobucket) first, then download here.This should help:http://www.fishingminnesota.com/forum/ub...ere#Post1219014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCatfish Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Thanks, DonBo. It sure was a hoot and even better that I got to spend it with my son.I actually gave up bow hunting in general about 6-7 years ago as I teach and coach football, so I'm plenty busy in the fall. My son picked up the sport last fall and is absolutely hooked. Which, in turn, was an obvious "rejoin" for me!MJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonBo Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 FLnick, when you upload your photos into photobucket, right under the square that says "upload images" there is a box of options where you can choose the size they will be. Select the "640-480 (Large)" and they will come out perfect size for onscreen here.You're gettin' it! The first pix of your MN bird is a great shot.

123fish Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I meant NWTF score with weight, beard, and spurs. I'll bet it would score pretty good. Forgot the formula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
