Shot this gobbler around 8:00 AM this morning. He came in with a bruiser, but this guy was closer. No decoys, just little purrs and a 30 yard sneak on my belly to make a 30 yard shot. I don't know what it was, but there was turkeys gobbling everywhere this morning??? Anyway, he weighs 20 lbs., 10-inch beard and has just over 1-inch spurs.         view photo        HollowvilleHunter 1 Bird 2 beards Wed, May 07, 08 I shot a tom today who sported 2 beards - 1 was about 7" long and the other about 3" long.. with 3/4 " spurs 18lbs.. he wasnt the big daddy but im awfully pleased with him. My buddy shot the big daddy on monday morning . 11" beard. 1.5" spurs and 23lbs- no pics b/c I only managed to grab my video camera this morning on the way out the door. I did get it on video though so its all good. birds were really quiet and we had to pull them away from hens.. no noise at all.. but we were patient and it paid off.. i think he got tired of waiting for the hens to give in so he came to mine.. elmerFudd It's Larry Pittz'z fault Wed, May 07, 08 My friend Larry turned 40 last night. Went to a party and got talking with someone about bow hunting. It got me so pumped up I put away my shotgun and brought out the bow this morning. Well wouldn't you know I saw a HUGE tom about 70 yards away. He was chasing a chick. I grunted and got nothing (maybe I should have clucked :o) so I snuck up to within 35.5 yards. I wasn't going to get any closer without getting busted so I drew and shot about 4 inches over his head, with my turkey guillotine broadhead! It's Larryz fault I put away my shotgun. hahahaah HollowvilleHunter replied on May 07: Kev - let me know when you want to get out together.. ill call and video while you shoot. also we gotta finish those antlers.. and im ready for football when does that start.. ?? 151.209.112.137 Yelper Quiet Morning.. Wed, May 07, 08 I hit the woods before work this morning and didn't hear a thing. Just a perfect quiet morning and nothing but deer. Yelper replied on May 07: It wouldn't have been so bad if I could have hunted past 07:00am, but I had to get to work. I really think as the morning sun, warms the ground, the toms react better. To not at least hear one off the roost, had me wondering how many people infiltrated on my hunting spot and were giving calling lessons? 167.244.212.6 ihunt4food replied on May 07: Yelper, I feel your pain! I went out out yesterday and it was very quiet until around 9:00 AM. I had two big Toms going, but they where with hens; even with the decoys out - they didn't come in! Went out all weekend and heard and saw a lot of mature birds, but no results. Had a few Jakes within range, but passed them up. It appears with this rain the hens are back out with the Toms, we'll see how the weekend goes? Good Luck! 12.152.252.4 skeets716 Annual Canoe Trip Tue, May 06, 08 Went on an annual canoe trip with the boys on the Cedar River in the Adirondacks 4/26 - 4/29. The boys caught some nice native Brookies, none smaller than 13". Kept two for the first day, four for the next. The fish made for excellent Redneck Surf and Turf as we had plenty of Venison along on the trip. Had some great Venison Sausage courtesy of Yelper. The Rensselaer county buck was very good Yelper, but my Chenango county buck sausage just edged it out! Coyotes were around, met a hiker that had seen Bear & Moose scat as well as prints from both in the snow. Weather was phenomenal, reached 70's all three days.         view photo        Yelper replied on May 06: Hey Skeet, herman told your venison was better. He rubbed it in. Your link won't display, check that you have .jpg as your extension. 167.244.212.6 elmerFudd Fox on the Run Tue, May 06, 08 ...remember that song? i heard it yesterday on XM radio! I went out this morning on a traditional turkey hunt. I set up a decoy, sat and made noise. A little bit later a fox to my left about 30 yards away. I gobbled and he stopped. He must have made a circle around me cuz a little while later I saw him in front of me go into his den. Not the best spot for me to set up shop today. I got up to leave and on my way out I saw a nice big and juicy hen! skeets716 replied on May 06: alltime favorite song! 209.217.202.2 elmerFudd 1st time out Sun, May 04, 08 Got up early this morning, schmoozers were off last night. So I went out lookin for Tom. I saw him about 35 yards away. He was walking away from me going up the hill. I was yelling up a storm with my call and he stopped but wouldn't come back down. Just then, a deer 25 yards away. I will still using my call and she did not care. Neither one of them cared! Where's the love? Then I went around and stuck my head over the ledge top and a deer starring right at me. I froze. Then 3 other deer snorted from my right and they all ran away. They be scared of me. HollowvilleHunter replied on May 04: Kev - i have the morning off on WED - wanna get out together and try and land a TOM?? then maybe after that we can get on those ANTLERZ and finish them ? shoot me an Email and let me know 151.209.112.137 HollowvilleHunter Rolled A jake Sat, May 03, 08 went out on opening day and had was workign a nice TOm with my Buddy- next thing you know 4 jakes cut him off and moved him across to the neighboring land. this morning i went out with my wife cousin for his first turkey hunt. and we ended up doubling up on Jakes.. he was pumped. i got the hunt on video.. my bird weighed 17lbs and had a 4.5 " beard.. lil button spurs.. it was a great day though.. and my wifes cousin is my new buddy and hes also addicted now.. now its time to go hardcore for the longbeards         view photo        Yelper Jake Down!!! Sat, May 03, 08 I setup this morning, hopeing on taking a bird with the bow. I could hear one bird gobbling from the roost for 30 minutes or more. He even gobbled after he hit the ground, but then got quite. I sat until 7:00 and headed back to the car, this time to grab the gun. I packed up the portable blind and headed back out. I set the decoys up in a small field and called for 20 minutes or so on and off. I never heard another bird gobble, but as I looked across the field, I could see this bird 250 yards out, coming my way. He walked right up to the decoys, when I took him down. The H&R 12 gauge almost took my shoulder off with the 3" mag.         view photo        HollowvilleHunter replied on May 03: yeah .. these turkey guns kick dont they.. im shooting a Rem 870 supermag with 3.5 72.230.43.85 Yelper replied on May 03: The bird was 15lbs with a 3 74.76.110.117
