Post by: fishunt247 on March 26, 2010, 12:05:51 PM: Your camp looks like far less of a meth lab than the camp trailer we use . Ours is very junky-esque, complete with outdated propane tank, severely chipped and missing paint, and turkey Christmas decorations. I like your signs and decorations better.

Muley sniper..We have two gen sets running..I actually have 3 friends with sleep apnia and they require C-Pap machines..We have one trailer set up for them with a 1000 watt gen set. Just so they don't croak. I think before too long I will need to make friends with some EMTs and invite them to turkey camp just incase we need some assistance..LOL . Someone thought we needed Neon..The cabin all lit up looks like a bar out in the sticks..Funny.. :)

Post by: yelp on May 01, 2010, 06:18:54 PM: This bird came on a windy day..barely could hear him gobbling. We set up. My wife out front My son and I sat by a big tree and I hid him from the bird..Mr. Wiggly...Bird strutted all the way in adn my wife could see it I couldn't see it.. It gobbled several times..I purred and he popped over the ridge saw the decoy stuffer and that is all she wrote..he strutted into 30 yards and my wife put the hammer down..AWESOME! It was cool having my wife and son there..No Feeling like it in the world..them both enjoying what I enjoy! I am a happy man!

Post by: yelp on May 02, 2010, 09:05:08 PM: Took my wifes friend from work out..she had never been turkey hunting..We called in a hen and then went back to where my wife got her bird yesterday..My 8 year old son whips out his box call and immediately gets a gobble..it was awesome! :) We then set up on him almost at the same tree. I start calling the bird comes around a knoll and she can't get a shot..I watched him come behind my wife and son and stick his neck out looking. He goes behind some brush..I instruct my wifes friend who was shaking to bring her gun around..she does and the bird goes away..gobbling ..I get him to gobble one more time that was it..It was as fun as shooting one..She couldn't believe how exciting it was..The good news is I know he is still there..LOL. You win some and lose some but the experience is worth all the money in the world..my son sure is proud as am I.

I may run a blind out during Memorial day and get my Five year old Boy out there.....It is truly awesome when your family shares that insane passion we do toward those birds....while probably not quite as over the top as we get but they do get it...don't they :IBCOOL:

Post by: yelp on May 12, 2010, 07:27:00 AM: Thanks guys..I took two friends out yesterday for an afternoon hunt..we called in two toms, a jake and a longbeard..they had a hen with them..the tom came to about 45 yards gobbling his head off and the damn jake hung back with the hen which I believe made that gobbler jealous so he turned and went after them..damn hens getcha every time. We may be going out Sunday..my wifes girlfriend is hooked and wants a second chance..we'll see. Its been a very fun and memorable season. Good to get out with friends and family for sure.

Post by: yelp on May 29, 2010, 05:28:32 PM: Went out today..had to go to camp to get my trailer..I figured I would go hang out at one of my blinds for a few hours. I sat for about an hour and a hen came strolling by..bearded hen too..let her go. After about 20 minutes I see another hen.she walks 5 yards then sits on ground gets up walks 5 yards sits on ground gets up ..finally I see what she is doing she was letting her 10 poults catch up to her..they looked to be 2 weeks old. I then sat there watching and thought what a great season this year was. This morning topped it all off. :)
