What a year for MuleySniper, UncleBuck(his dad), and I. We had a blast this year. Turkeys were lit up like the 4th of July and not another hunter to deal with. Had MuleySniper bought his second tag we wold have gone 6 for 6 for sure. It was lights out turkey hunting. Bumer was that upon arriving to camp I realized I had not brought a tape for the camera. Got one on film with the FZ18 but it was not easy. Oh well. Lots of pictures. I will start off with my two. After all the birds I called in for MuleySniper to date he returned the favor calling in his fist group of gobblers so I could lay the hammer on #2. 3 big toms, and they were tough. He did awesome. We'll add more story and photos later.

Here are my two. One off the roost and one headed to the roost, same day.

VERY NICE! CONGRATS on the double!

MuleySniper · « **Reply #3 on:** April 25, 2009, 06:58:27 PM »

I wouldn't of traded another tag for calling in those fired up toms any day! That's just as good as knockin em down

Next year were gonna get Tom Celic into deke range.

When I get those pics off my dads camera, we'll have to post up all the names we called our birds. Yeah, even Tommy Hilfiger

Ok, Sniper & Slinger... Its bad enough you guys picked on the old man the whole trip. But no pics of Tommy Hilfiger

wastickslinger · « **Reply #5 on:** April 25, 2009, 08:21:55 PM »

This is why Sniper didnt want a second tag. Every time we turned around he was take pictures of flowers. What a tree hugger.

The only group shot we got. Set it on a stump with a timer. Can you spot the shed. Sniper you lucky dog.

good work boys...sounds like you had the honey hole.

wastickslinger · « **Reply #8 on:** April 25, 2009, 08:27:13 PM »

UncleBuck, I think you got the last laugh with that 9 1/2 incher!!! What a rope. Sounds like the rest of your trip home was fun after Sniper ate the crout sausage.

Sorry to hear. I would have made him walk.

Here is one of UncleBucks Birds. Slightly bigger and better looking than his first. I'll let Sniper post the other one.

Don't even bring up any fart stories. Between you and my dad, damn good thing those birds can't smell

Stickslinger is the only dude I know that can eat 5 pounds of undercooked beef and manage to fart his brains out the entire four days AND not take a single dump. You need to see a doctor dude...

Thanks for the compliments. As far as where we hunt....well that it why we never see another hunter. Pretty tight lipped about our spot. I found it 8 years ago and have never had a hard time knocking a few birds down. Plenty of turkeys in this state if you do some homework though.

nice birds wastickslinger..good job.

MuleySniper · « **Reply #13 on:** April 25, 2009, 09:24:12 PM »

Here is a couple of mine. Wish we were getting up at 3:45 again tomorrow. We definitely put some miles on our boots. I can't wait to get a pic up of Tommy Hilfiger. Definitely tomorrow

My dad had better not delete the picture of that "thing"

Cool photo..Nice bird..I would have to say he was a little "horny"..

wastickslinger · « **Reply #15 on:** April 25, 2009, 10:55:33 PM »

Sniper I went out to the camper to clean it out and it still smells like an outhouse.

Next year I am bringing charcoal filtered undies for you and your dad.

Remind me to never eat a chili dog from that place again. My gut has been hurting all day.

I cant sleep. I still hear gobbling and see strutters when I close my eyes.

Next year I will knock down that big one instead of educating him. "The Tominator" will be mine. I just hope he sheds his steel armor.

What is this?? Come on Sniper I thought you were a loyal Hunting Washington Member. I recognize that Monster Mulies for life sign. I vote we kick Sniper off this sight.

wastickslinger · « **Reply #18 on:** April 27, 2009, 01:28:01 PM »

UncleBucks bird was 9 1/4" with 3/4 spurs
The other 3 were right around 8-8 1/2", 2 of those had 1/2" spurs, the other had almost 7/8" spurs.

All birds weighed about 15-18lbs.

You SUCK!!!!! Don't worry, Im gonna dig through my archives now buddy!

Sniper, agreed on the "not naming spots" gig. I'm in the same boat. Congrats on the birds. Sure has been a fun season.

That's Stickslingers bad ass 1991 Seattle Sonics beanie turned inside out. I forgot my camo one, and the blaze orange one that was in my pack seemed like a bad idea to wear turkey hunting

I was able to ditch the hat once it warmed up past thirty.

Fortunately, no ticks for me

It kept your head warm didnt it. Maybe that was the good luck charm. What ever we did we need to make sure it is the same next year. I want to go back to Carne Asada, steak, burgers and waking up at 3:45 am and hunting till 8:00 pm. Good times!!!

Sniper I still have not seen the best bird yet. You know Tom-E Hilfiger.

You also need to put a few mossy oak moments of walking down the old grass road with a bird. Classic shots. I dont have any.

ohh Sniper that was low. I cant stop laughing.

It would not be funny had he not follow it up with the 9 1/2 incher.

You DOG!!! Remember who is filling out your non res. Oregon app. I may have to make a mistake or two.
