April 19, 2012 Turkey 002.jpgOK, I can not be the only turkey hunter out here!  Let's see some pictures of your Toms.  I took off work last week to get the job done.  That is, to fill my tags (2) with good birds.  Mission accomplished!  I shot my first bird opening afternoon after being run out of the field at first light by the farmer plowing his field.  I had my bird all scoped out and busted by the farmer.  I returned that afternoon when things quieted down and got the job done.  My second bird came harder four days later with about 16 hours of sitting on my butt to my credit. Thursday morning was a misty and cloudy morning and I was rewarded after a 4 hour sit with a tom that wanted to scrap with my B-Mobile.  I am sad to say he lost the fight.  My son graduates from college on May 5th and the following week we will be heading west on a road trip to Kansas to chase Rio's for a week.  I hope I can share some good pics when we get back.

Well I need to get off my butt and figure out where I can hunt those things around here without paying a small fortune...I have hunted them before, but never got them to come in because the birds in San Diego are heavily pressured. I have a lot of respect for a hunter that can consistently bag those birds..

Thank you for posting Gary...and I'm sure our lurkers thank you too...

Finally returned from my Kansas road trip.  As in years past, had a blast.  Even though it is 3,000 miles round trip, it is worth every mile to me.  This year the weather was not as cooperative as in years past.  Temps were 90+ and the wind blew 40+ for a day and a half.  Also it was as dry as I have ever seen it.  The cracks were so large in the ground that if you dropped your cell phone you may not get it back, no joke!  For turkey hunting the wind is not your best situation to set up in.  The birds are nervous in the wind and do not like to gobble much.  Even in the heat and wind, if you like it, you like it.  We were fortunate to take several birds on this trip.  Check out this bird that I shot across a small river and had to get a canoe to retrieve it.  He was he heaviest bird killed this year out of this camp.  He weighed 22lbs and had a 10" beard and 1-1/16" spurs.
