Re: For Your Viewing Pleasure - cause you can't hunt
Very cool. I hate we don't have panthers around here, but I'm also glad we don't have 'em around here.

Re: Bad for us good for turkey numbers?
I've been seeing more trucks parked where you don't normally see vehicles. Season opens here tomorrow and I fear more hunters in the woods than usual.

Re: NOT HAPPY!!!!
I would have made the shot first & taken my chances. Back in 1980 I was duck hunting in Colorado and had a crippled mallard with a broken wing go down in some cattails. It was a few minutes from the end of legal shooting time and by the time I found and finished off the duck, it was dark. The Ga...

Good to see you here birddogdad. Thank you for yours and your son's service. My nephew is stationed in Washington as a machinist's mate on a Boomer.

What's your heaviest & lightest gobbler?
I was looking at some pictures of turkeys I've killed over the years and my heaviest was 24.5 pounds while my lightest was 17.5 pounds. Both were killed here in North Carolina (on the same property a year apart). How about you, what's your heaviest & lightest gobblers?

Re: Mommas Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Bucks!!
The doe on the right in the second picture from the top has a broad throat patch. She also has white up between her hooves. There's a few around my house that have those same white streaks, but their throat patch is pretty minimal.

I got home early from work and found 12 turkeys in the woods behind the house. They left before I could change lenses on the camera and dig the binoculars out from my turkey vest in the closet. First time I've seen them here since October.

I'll be hunting Durham, Orange,Granville, Franklin, Warren, and Chatham County in North Carolina if I'm lucky. As much as I'd love to hunt other states, unless something changes, N.C. is gonna be it for me.

Re: Burris speed bead
I've had one on my SBE II for several years. Love it. I wasn't wild about having the receiver drilled & tapped. The Speed Bead brings the sight closer to my eye and doesn't affect the balance of the gun. I wish Burris made one for a 20 ga. 870.

Nice bucks & Congrats to Sal.
Deer don't have top front teeth. It's a cartilage pad on top. They cut grasses and pick up nuts with their bottom teeth forced against the pad. You'll be able to age it better by checking the molars.

Re: These people need our help....
Where the ____ is the NWTF and their relocation projects? Seems like a job for canon nets to me. Move those birds where they might be beneficial to the habitat instead of around a bunch of cranky New Jersey residents and their manicured lawns. Win/Win the way I see it.
