Title: Yelp's Turkey Camp 2013
Post by: yelp on April 18, 2013, 07:40:03 PM
WOW what a spring.  I haven't been on this forum a lot lately mainly due to the dealing with the loss of my good friend Dale.  It has been a weird year to say the least.  I try to keep my mind off of it.  Well the best way is to surround yourself with family and friends.  This year our turkey camp was missing its cornerstone.  Dale will be missed but the hunt must go on as they say!  Which takes me to our annual outing every spring.  Enjoy.  Oh and I got to see Turkey Dancer too this AM.. Great to see and ol friend.

Nice memorial for Dale, and I know he's still in your camp with you guys for sure ... may the Red Monkey ride forever !!!

Awesome to see you and the crew again and see the success everybody was enjoying. Nice looking birds ...

I've turkey hunted with Eric and Im sure he could kill a turkey armed with a stick, rock and a blade of grass.

The calls just compliment his turkey hunting skills.

Yelp's Camp Factoid:

Well this weekend we counted up the gobblers we have taken as a camp since 2003 this is a 10 year count 2003 to 2013.  122 gobblers!  :IBCOOL: Our camp has taken almost 200 gobblers since 1995!  But the last 10 years has been the most productive and had the most liberal seasons compared to the limits and regulations in the 1990's.

Hi Yelp --- Some friends were wondering who made the nice, intricate tribute to Dale?

I helped design it and a friend of mine (HorsePower and her husband) cut it out or stainless with a plasma.  The drawing was done, then it was cut out and traced and then cut.  We tried to included the things that reminded us of Dale.  Everything on their has some significant meaning.
