Excellent Curt!! Hopefully it won't be too long before your son manages to kill his first bird in the company of his daddy.

Wow how great can that be!!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you and your dad did you guys do the turkey dance afterwards??
Ferret I know what you mean I see turkeys this year but they are all being tight lip. One flew by after the hunting time was up (Missouri you have to stop hunting turks at one) and I'm sure he was laughing REALLY.

Well done, Curt. My short turkey season is done tomorrow and is a ditto of Mickey's lament. As soon as they hit the ground they are silent and seem to be "henned up" to the max. I was out from 6am to almost 2pm today with only one hen seen, although I did see 5 deer. Figures doesn't it.........I see deer in the spring and turkeys in the fall at that location.
Glad you made up for my sorry excuse of a turkey hunt. TL
