Title: skunked>>>Revived to a double!!
Post by: haugenna on April 15, 2010, 03:51:38 PM: I am sittin out in the field mobile connection. I had a jake and 8 hens come in to ten yards. I almost shot the jake but I saw 3 full strut long beards hung up at 60 yards. I held off waiting for the toms to come in. NO LUCK. I have been playing ring around the property for the last few hours. Most of the toms are henned up.I will keep everyone posted.

Title: Re: skunked >> turns into a double
Post by: haugenna on April 15, 2010, 10:00:14 PM: Back to the hotel. Just left Ridgerats house. I have to say thanks for helping me clean them but more importantly, thanks for the hospitality. This world could use a few more people like you Ridge.

I have lots more pics. It was a great day of turkey hunting. I hope you all enjoyed the TWITTER Turkey hunt. I promise you that was all in real time. It was all I could do to stay awake in the hillls. I will post more pics and the whole story when I get back to "the coast" .

Happy turkey hunting to the rest of you. I am going to celebrate with a nice cold one at the hotel bar.

It sure wasn't the skill of a hawkeye. Spring football has begun. I bet the broncos are preparing for their one tough game of the year. LOL Just kidding. :chuckle:

Post by: haugenna on April 19, 2010, 05:54:21 AM: Just ate three drumsticks and the thighs last night. Cooked them in the crock pot. Feels like I am chewing on a rubber band ball. Tastey, but chewy.
Title: Re: skunked>>>Revived to a double!!
Post by: tlbradford on April 19, 2010, 10:03:55 AM: I soak them in salt water overnight, and then in milk for another night, regardless of how I am cooking them. Most times I just make jerky.
