I think you mean all y'all.

Hey Jay there is no time limit. You fill out their form and send it in with your 15 bucks LOL. I would check their registry on their site for the Rio's. If you see some registered from the county you shot yours I would say you are good to go. If not I would send it anyway. I did and it was accepted....

That was awesome. How many times did you think about shooting him while he was still strutting .

Be super nice if you could get another slam and kill one of each subspecie with the respective call. It would give you a great excuse to plan out another slam anyway This was suggested also on another site. I did kill an eastern in Ontario this year while using that call. I am going to NM and Texas...

I asked Jim from Warbird calls to make up 4 different pot calls that I could mount my gand slam pins in if and when I ever got one. Well I completed my first slam this year so here are the calls with the pins in them. Jim did a great job on the calls. They are all turkey but I am not sure that I wil...

Thankfully the area I hunt the fall turkey seasons ends the day the rifle deer season opens.
And to answer that Ben Lee guys question I would say that there would have been very good odds that the hen he killed would have had poults in the spring

I'll be out there. For me fall hunting is just another way to interact with these great game birds. I don't think you can ever hear as much turkey talk and variety of calls as you do in the fall. Some mornings its cool just to sit near the roost and listen to the calling. Plus I have to say theres n...

Well got it pretty much put together. Just a little more grooming over the next few days. Then figure out what type of display setting for it.

Well got it on the form and sewn up. Did I mention I hate sewing. Glued the head in place and attached the tail. Now gotta shoot some caulking and set everything up to dry. Then once the caulk sets do some gooming. It was a little loose on the form but I guess thats better than too tight and having ...

Skin is all dried and coated on the inside with borax. Test fitted the form and now am wiring the wings. Hopefully have it on the form and somewhat groomed by tonight. http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb264/timbrhuntr/turkeybreastsokedandstrutter017.jpg As far as forms go I got a couple badboys I ...

TRKYHTR

The form is a cally morris form with the drumsticks already on it. I bought it on ebay a while ago. The head is freeze dried.

Right now it looks like you went to the ICEDTURKES school of taxidermy. :lol: I can only hope it turns out that good. ;) Thanks for the other tips guys. I only did the big holes and I figured I should stay away from the crazy glue I usually just glue my fingers together. I will keep posting as I ge...

Since the handloading guys seem to running away with all the threads I thought I would get something going in the taxi section. I finally got off my but and got my 2012 tom out of the freezer. I decided to see if I could full mount another tom. Going for the strutter look. I finished skinning and ta...

Hmmm I wasn't bothered at all and was hoping you took my comments as the lighted jab they were intended. All good with me I have pretty thick skin anyway I hoped you did too.

I wasn't snickering I know very well about the snicker gods. Just pokin a little fun.

Hope you get that toms brother next year.

Nice. I like it.

Hee Hee Oops !!

Oh well I am sure you will win next year just gotta shoot another one of them funny looking but good tasting toms again.

Bummer. Well all I can say is Michigan Fall Turkey opens in about 65 days and I will be out gun in hand trying to bust a few.

Congrats very nice call . All I can say is you better practice because I can't wait to hear you work that call in the field next spring. :compress: Also I wouldn't worry about 2ounce6 ain't he the guy that shot the colour phase gobbler and couldn't even win with that as a possible prop :bootyshake: ...

I know how some guys feel about registering their slams with the NWTF but I checked their web site yesterday and all 4 of my birds are finally registered for my grand slam. Guess I never have to do that again but glad I did.

Ha Ha Ha!!

OG has a long reach I guess.

Can't we just ban the posters ?

Just kidding It was interesting reading but ya time to move on.

That story seemed believable until you said you climbed the feeder to hide. If you have pics of you climbing the feeder can you post them instead of the gobbling hen I have already seen one of those.

Interesting. I have the same gun and scope. I have had the gun since the 80's and have had the same scope on it for about 8 years with no problems. I use it with the turkey barrel for turkey and a rifled barrel for deer and it is quick and easy to take the safety on and off. But if was giving issues...

That looks awesome. I have done it with ground wild turkey breast and stuffed it with feta cheese. Tommorrow I am going to stuff some wild turkey breasts with a number of ingredients and wrap in a bacon weave then cook in the smoker all day basting ocasionally with a sweet sauce glaze. I hope they c...

Interesting. I have several spots that I hunt and use trail cams. I doubt that there are any gobblers on the properties that I have not seen or gotten pics of. I have several pics of beaded hens. And even had 4 in front of me at one time this year. Yet I have never seen an actual multi-bearded bird ...
