My turkey hunt with Jeff Mayor

Below is a link to the article in today's Sunday Tacoma News Tribune about my tukrey hunt with Jeff Mayor:

Jeff's and my gobblers were both 19-1/2 lbs, 8-1/2 inch beards and 3/4" spurs.

Good writeup. Glad to hear you got one.

Great story

Is Jeff Mayor as much of a gomer in person as he seems to be in print?

Thanks guys ...

Jeff is really a very nice guy, just a little lacking in hunting and other outdoor  experience which he is trying to make up for ... just remember they say "you can't judge a book by it's cover" ...

I couldn't figure out how to say that nicely, so I didn't say it. He sort of sounds like a Patrick McManus character...which may be considered a compliment too.  I try not to judge; I've been humbled too many times.

Al, fyi, your article was also in today's Daily Olympian. You are famous now!

Thanks Iceman et al (also hit Bellingham Herald, USA, etc) ... not as nuts as the front page article in the Kitsap Sun 1-1/2 years ago that went coast to coast, then international, plus calls from 3 radio stations, and then closing the King 5 news that went to NWCN, Utube, Yahoo, etc ... but was kind of a cute article ... still all very unreal for me as I'm just a turkey hunter that was just taking a friend on a hunt.
