Nice looking birds guys!!  What about you gals out there??? :dunno:

And I thought the harvest was down in 09 due to the severe winter conditions in the NE?

Look out 2010!!   :IBCOOL:

Here's our spring birds ... unfortunately I was limited to 3 days due to double hernia surgery and I don't have pictures of my 3 fall birds.

Nice pics guys.  I may have to try turkey hunting one of these years.  Sounds like fun.

Here's a question for you guys though:  Since when did Turkeys get the nickname "Thunderchicken"?  I always thought grouse were called thunderchickens? :dunno:
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

 :dunno: Im from Louisiana, and down there everyone calls turkeys "thunder chickens". I know my cousins in Miss. and West Virginia call them that too.I guess its because we dont have any grouse, so we had to call something a thunder chicken! Thats just what I was raised. :dunno:

Ok.....cool.  Thanks for the explanation.  Makes sense now. 

(When I first saw the title of the thread I thought I was going to see grouse pics). :)

This year I've already promised myself that I'm going to shoot more photos.  Can't wait...two weeks from TODAY.
