Post by: westcoastsoutherner on March 25, 2008, 11:04:54 AM: nice pics. Are you going on the youth hunt? I've holding off until some snow melts. Were the turkeys pretty low (elev)? I'm planning to scout this weekend for the youth hunt.

dont see any hatchling in there. You should hold out until you find some hatchlings to go after. No reason to shoot biguns. Hatchlings arent as tough. :chuckle:

Post by: Bofire on March 28, 2008, 11:03:18 AM: I agree with mossback, I shot a 18 lb. mature gobbler last year. The breast meat could not be chewed!!!

I am a Jake hunter from now on!
