Thanks! I tried for him several times early on but all he would do was go back and forth along the fence gobbling his head off. Today he was vocal all the way until he got to meet my son. He actually went to the right of the gate (if you're facing the res side) and went under. He jumped over the...

Big spurs

The bird

Well we had an amazing morning. I'll try to make this a readers digest version but I'm still on cloud 9. So I woke up at 0300 this morning and sat in bed while listening to rain drops hit the window. I wanted to sleep in since I have to work tonight but something told me to get the kid up and...

Just got home from a hunt but we managed to get a real old, smart tom to cross the road. I will have details soon but my 8yo son out did me this season and got his limit. So far the bird has a 10.5in beard, 1.5in spur/1in spur, and weighed in at 21 pounds and a couple pennies.

What a great hunt to end the season. It's amazing how things can change in just a few days. We'll still be going out hoping for a long beard for Yusuke. Maybe he can limit out this spring :)

Re: 1st Poults seen Today....4-27-16 Yeah don't get me started on Shane. First and last time I ever share any info to him. I was in vid 3 when they shot those two jakes, I got a earful of reasons why they shot them but oh well. Those were the last two jakes in that area :(

Re: 1st Poults seen Today....4-27-16 That's great grass growth. Should keep a decent amount of poults from getting picked off. Unfortunately, we may not have too many 2 year olds on the club next year. Lot of members shot a lot of jakes. The jakes in two zones were completely wiped out :(

Awesome gobbler Steve! Wait is this the first long beard that's been posted? Big congrats to you and Stefanie!

Awesome photo and story Steve! Big congrats on another beautiful merriams. The area looks like a really game rich environment. Maybe next year I'll start venturing out and take a drive out to NM.

Figure some would love to see the BS used to justify using millions of tax payer dollars. The info in the article is just down right hilarious. http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2016/apr/20/pigs-feral-eradicate-backcountry/

Like I said to each his own. I'm sure these guys aren't intentionally putting them selves in harmed way. I think we are all mature hunters who are safety oriented. I don't think anyone would intentionally go stalk turkeys with a strutter in front of them on McGee flats but this would be a...

Thank you everyone! We're still talking about the hunt and how much fun it was. After a hunt like this it's kind of hard to go out without my kid. By the way we cooked one fillet by seasoning strips and wrapping it in bacon. I couldn't keep my kids off of them.

Unfortunately thanks to prop 47 (thank you Californians who voted on it), most poaching cases like this will end in a fine and the poacher getting probation. And that's if the the DA decides to prosecute and the poachers are convicted. Best thing to do is to IMMEDIATELY report such activities to...

I guess it's not the safest tactic around but you guys do realize that these footages are done in wide open fields on private property that much larger than what we have out here. As long as it's safe than Why not. I too don't like to stalk turkeys and pretty much hunt the old fashion way by...

Not sure why the photos are turned...

A couple more

Hi everyone, Its been a while since I been on the forum but hopefully I can start posting up again. Due to work and family, I been kind of just doing the FB thing. I'm glad the forum has grown with a lot of fresh new faces. Anyways, I took the week off to do some turkey hunting as I do every...

Big congrats Steve! When does the NM season end? Hopefully one of these days I can get out there with ya.

That's not a totally uncommon thing. Some birds, especially out east, get beard rot from the elements. I saw a full mature gobbler three years ago during deer season that had no beard at all.
