Thanks. I have no tags left anywhere, and it's been a uniquely successful fall.

...bring on spring!!!! Not quite so fast... I still had a western fall tag left and made the flight west early yesterday morning and drove down to the pre planned hunting spot with enough time left over to squeeze in a 1-1/2 hour late afternoon hunt. We had hens answer our calls and made a move on ...

Got out myself this morning in 17 degree weather - after a VA bird. And I found one that wanted company.

My brother had been unable to find a flock of mountain toms the last three times out, but finally found some today. Called them over with a Quaker Boy World Champ and took one with his old 2-3/4" Wingmaster and 2 oz of TSS 8s. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v226/wyogoob/Fix%20Pis%20for%20oth...

I want to wish a mighty happy Thanksgiving to everybody here at GN.

Gonna spend some quality time with a Butterball and deep fryer today. And I'm going to count my blessings and thank the good Lord for them!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Fall VA turkey
Hustlin Hen

Gil, I think the key is laying the gun across your lap ready to shoot while you doze. :wink: I've killed two turkeys in my life like that, and both were in the last year and a half. I'm beginning to think maybe it's a legitimate strategy. As I get older and slow down some, I'm thinking it'll become ...

She came to the Hustlin Hen after a prolonged sit.

28 ga 1-1/2 oz TSS 9-1/2s

Went out today and hunted hard all morning, but was unable to find anything. Found a nice place to sit down and eat lunch, and decided to stretch out and take a nap. Dozed off a little, and laid around for about an hour or so, and called every now and then. About 1:40, immediately after a lost yelp ...

I once saw one catch a bat out of the air.

Looks like a Coopers Hawk.

Beautiful pics!

Congrats Denny!

I went out Saturday, but couldn't find any to play...

I went out Saturday morning but couldn't find any. They'd had bulldozers in there messing around this week - and I didn't know about it, or I'd have gone elsewhere. But the woods were gorgeous and it was therapeutic.

Congrats on some nice fall turkeys!
