Here is my entry of the bird my daughter called in for me in 07'.

Skyvalhunter · « **Reply #3 on:** May 01, 2008, 09:25:52 PM »

She didn't shoot it for you too did she?

ICEMAN · « **Reply #4 on:** May 01, 2008, 09:30:24 PM »

Nope, she was feeling pretty bad, you can barely see her white sneakers in the photo, I forgot to load her boots for the trip, and we were hiding her feet all day! Pretty cool to have your kid calling right next to you as you hear the tom coming! Made my whole year!

Spring turkeys 2008. The ol' man and me with our first double. I called them up and they came running in. All SEVEN of them with a few hens. I've taken 6 longbeards but couldn't pass up our first double.

The following year youth weekend!

groundhog · « **Reply #12 on:** May 06, 2008, 12:43:39 PM »

This one doesn't count but I thought I would throw it up. These two were so entranced with what they were doing they didn't even care about us.

boneaddict · « **Reply #13 on:** May 06, 2008, 01:26:45 PM »

If that picture would have been sharp focus, it probably would get my vote. Thats a cool action shot.

yelp · « **Reply #14 on:** May 06, 2008, 07:21:56 PM »

Here are a couple photos from Yelp's Turkey Camp 2008.

A;right guys, its been a week since any Turkey pics have been posted? I'm thinking I should have went for Spring bear instead.

Oh great! I think we are all in trouble now.

jackelope · « **Reply #26 on:** May 20, 2008, 08:21:51 PM »

lets have it, pope.

popeshawnpaul · « **Reply #27 on:** May 20, 2008, 09:04:42 PM »

LOL. I haven't been holding out because I've got something great I'm trying to build anticipation... It's just because my hard disk has been down for 3 weeks and I haven't had a chance to post them. I'll try tonight.

popeshawnpaul · « **Reply #28 on:** May 21, 2008, 12:29:34 AM »

Ouch...the scan from this photo is really bad. The photo is small and it was messed up in the scan and with .jpg saves. This isn't a winner but I'll post it anyways just to show that I kill turkeys every now and then...

yelp · « **Reply #29 on:** May 21, 2008, 08:56:31 AM »

Guys sorry about previous post on the sizes. I finally figured out how to do it properly I hope.

boneaddict · « **Reply #30 on:** May 21, 2008, 09:39:21 AM »

Awesome, more shots like that........

Gutpile · « **Reply #31 on:** May 21, 2008, 02:49:02 PM »

Here's my #2 this year. Sorry it's so "in your face". It's hard to take your own pic.

Head-shot · « **Reply #32 on:** May 21, 2008, 09:22:55 PM »

Nice looking bird Gutpile, Congrats

Gutpile · « **Reply #33 on:** May 23, 2008, 06:21:49 AM »

Looks like we can submit 2 photos so here goes bird #1. This bird was taken by Kettle Falls. The other pic was taken in the Huckleberry unit near Springdale.

boneaddict · « **Reply #34 on:** May 26, 2008, 06:37:09 PM »

I'm going to go ahead and wrap this one up before midnite tonight. Votes are in and CONGRATULATIONS TIMBER you are the MAY Photo of the Month winner with an OUTSTANDING picture of a Tom struttin'. Well done. Thanks for your entries everyone. I'll get next months contest going here shortly.
