Rich, I started turkey hunting in 1997, all with my bow. I'm still waiting on a hero pic!    :help:  I hope you have better luck.  :thumbsup:

I hope all you Vermonters have better luck than I did down in South Carolina!  Our season just ended, nothing brought home but some more great memories.  Good luck hunting fella's.

Well boys, I must say I took the shotgun today. It is a single shot though! Saw a coyote, no shot. heard a couple gobblin early then stopped. Plan is to use the shotgun on bird 1, [if lucky] then the Kodiak Hunter on bird 2 [if really lucky].

I saw six beards today. One was strutting for two hens on posted land. Had five coming in to me but they panicked when the farmer drove to the barn on the other side of the beef field and high tailed it into the woods a little out of my range. Had one start gobbling finally at about 11 AM but ran out of time. Tomorrow is looking good bird number wise at least. Did call one hen right in to about 8 yards, she never even saw me in the ghillie.

Yesterday, I called in some hens to my decoyless set-up(I'm not impressed with my faded hen dekes). Very little gobbling, nothing till 8:30. They never did show there faces.   :banghead:
