Post by: TeacherMan on April 16, 2009, 07:49:17 AM: He got him opening day (yesterday). 9" beard on him. Got it at 20 yards with a 20 gauge. I was at a track meet yesterday and the bus had to stop for really nice tom to walk across the road in front of us.

Post by: Wacenturion on April 16, 2009, 08:15:59 AM: Congratulation to your student...great bird. Not to be picky, but might want to advise him to avoid the red T-shirt and white tennis shoes (?), as those are two of the three colors on a gobblers head. Would not want some one to mistake a piece of his clothing for a bird....just food for thought.....safety is critical in turkey hunting.

Post by: TeacherMan on April 16, 2009, 10:05:42 AM: He got it about 200 yards from his house, we got off school yesterday at 1:00 because of conferences. We have 1/2 days the first week of rifle deer season because of conferences also. Kind of funny how that works. The kid doesn't smile much. :chuckle:

Post by: boneaddict on April 16, 2009, 12:12:58 PM: You damn state employees. :chuckle: Kind of like Boeing strikes every fall during deer season and salmon runs......

I'm glad there are still a few kids out there that know how to take advantage of an oppurtunity. 8)

Post by: NRA4LIFE on April 16, 2009, 12:45:40 PM: That's funny Bone. Just a coincidence that the Machinist's contract ends at the beginning of bow season? I made a prediction when the strike started that it would end at the close of elk season. I was pretty darned close.

Post by: Smokepole on April 17, 2009, 11:28:30 PM: If I just said the word "Turkey" my kid would grin bigger than that. Maybe he's having joystick withdrawls. I heard they can be pretty bad sometimes. :chuckle:

Nice turkey, Loki. Interesting way to hunt, up to your crotch in snow. Good picture!

Title: Re: Every ones sucess
Post by: Bofire on April 18, 2009, 05:11:23 PM: :)Fruitland area. private property. the 25 were with 2 shooters, sharing a rifle., 31 shots. best run was I got 3 in a row at 350 yards. Skinny barrel 22-250 Tikka T3 lite. There were lots of them and they were big. I got one at 40 yards with my 45acp. :chuckle:

Title: Re: Every ones sucess
Post by: Bofire on April 19, 2009, 10:02:34 AM: coyotes and buzzards like them real well :), and stock likes not stepping in the holes. they breed like crazy pasture rats. they are another pest that must be controlled.
