Thank you everyone

Thank you Darryl :)

Congrats Stef and Steve! If you ever want to adopt a child, let me know. I'm up for adoption lol. What a awesome bday present. Can't get any better than that.

That's such a bummer but looks like it was a great learning experience. I also caught three trespassers off of Palomar. They were clearly hunting posted land and even crossed a posted gate. And supposedly they are members here... Anyway, keep at it and success will surely come. I always tell...

A few more pics

I'm at a loss of words but I think I may have had the fastest, easiest hunt I have ever had in the 20+ years chasing these birds. I had work obligations for a few hours in the morning so I packed some camies with me in the truck and after a couple boring hours in court, I drove up to a public...

That's a great bow bird! Need the story.

That's a great Sutherland bird. Looks like things are looking good there. Big congrats!

Now that I think about it, I work tomorrow until 3am Saturday and drive straight up with my kid. I might be passed out by 6pm on Saturday lol

Speaking of rainy day turkeys, this big flock of birds were hanging in a open pasture land. Behind the bush was a flock of toms and jakes. I hit the box call and they all gobbled as it started hailing. I have noticed that gobblers will gobble and come in to hen calls in the rain but won't really...

I was hunting a well known public spot back in 2004 where I hunted mid day. As I walked in, I bumped a nice long beard and two hens. I went ahead of the direction they traveled, sat quietly with a single hen decoy and made soft yelps. About 15min later, I called in the two hens with the long...

I'll be spending the night up there Saturday to Sunday. If you got something going on, on Saturday evening I'm game.

I been fortunate to get three birds in not so optimal weather in the past several years. For me, I have to hunt every chance I get so I try to get out rain or shine. In my opinion, the birds typically tend to hang in less dense brush or open pasture land during a down pour. One year while...

Just buy a 935 ;)

SOLD!!!! I recently switched chokes on my Mossberg 935 turkey gun so I have my Primos Jelly Head up for sale. I had a great pattern with it using Hevi Shot magnum blend 3.5in and shot a gobbler out to 60 yards one season. Asking $25. Shot approximately 15 rounds through it. Fits Mossberg 935/835.

Compared to last year there seems to be more jakes this year. As for MCC, long beards are down but hopefully we'll get more long beards moving as hens go to nest. Overall, the population is still very low. I want to say that the turkey population peak in the county was like 2008 to 2012...

I too am very saddened at the fact that MCC won't place some sort of rule to limit the take of jakes. I greatly admire and respect John Massie as I have followed his studies since I was a kid. I have talked with a very well known turkey biologist out east, the school of thought with the experts...

Exactly, SD public land turkey is no easy task.

With the amount of hens that I'm seeing with these gobblers, we may have a decent full season. There's rain in the forecast so I have a feeling we'll have gobbling birds till the end. I called in a big tom for my son on the last week of the Youth/archery season. The tom had three hens with him...

Did a little scouting this morning. Found a single long beard with 4 hens on one spot on public land, 6 gobblers of mixed long beards and jakes in another public spot, and on the way home this single hen came out of some nasty thick canyon near Descanso! These birds are definitely scooting...
