Hope ya had a good one Doc!

I'll be there for a bit.

The late Jack Murray, who was one of the driving forces behind the reintroduction of turkeys in Tennessee, commented years ago, "You have no guarantee that a hen will survive the winter and breed in the spring, but if you kill her in the fall , she is guaranteed not to breed the following spri...

Fantastic!

Fine season!

Awesome season again brother, congrats! Did the gf make it thrpugh the season? She's been around for quite few spring seasons now, she's tough. :lol: The proof lies in those pictures, because if I wasn't certain she was going to make it she'd never gotten in on the Osceola action, guaranteed. I che...

Thanks gents! Unfortunately there will not be an ounce of video from this season. My camera bit the dust on me in mid February when I was readying it for some pre season scouting. It spent the most of the first part of the season at Canon where the report came back with a very steep repair estimate....

Here are a few other pictures.

It's June 23rd. . . . and I hate it. Everyone's showing off pictures of velvet antlered deer and giant largemouth bass while I'm sifting through pictures of springs past. . . again. The numbness that consumes me when that final sun falls on my spring season hasn't even begun to loosen it's grip. A f...

If it were me and I was driving from NC, I'd point the truck straight west for western Oklahoma for a Rio and then keep right on along to New Mexico for your Merriam. Second choice would be to shift a bit northward to hit central Kansas for my Rio and move onward to Colorado for a Merriam but you'll...

Congrats on another awesome season Doc! It was a pleasure keep up with you!

And I too need another hosting site, photobucket has turned to garbage and I have years of photos on there I'd like to save somehow. I'm afraid it isn't an option.

Haha try thinking about Dave Owens from a turkeys perspective.... He's going to fool you as well as, if not better than, anyone around. He is going to kill you with that nasty M2. And on top of that, he is going to get all of it in 1080p HD for turkey hunters everywhere to froth at the mouth over d...

Thanks Gents! I agree with Doc; not sure how one could out gobble Joe!

Because some of you guys seem to be knowledgeable on the subject and I'm very much not. . . what is the problem causing the sell of the lands to be discussed? The cost of maintainance/ management?

I'm unsure about this particular move but I know we as sportsman need to get in line with our biologists more so than we are now. You would be amazed at the amounts of rules/ regulations that are politically motivated rather than science based. A hunters best friend is a motivated biologist. Many wa...

Here is 11 year old Dallas' second gobbler of the day. All this happened on Georgia's opening day of youth season 2016.

Thanks fellas!

I'll be there just so I can bump into this fella and try to soak up some of that turkey voodoo he puts on them every spring.

Here is the first hunt I've cleaned up from 2016. The composition is there, the lighting was just a bit dark since everything happened right from the tree. I'll take it. Hope you enjoy.

I've toted the Franchi Affinity compact with me the past 2 seasons, I'd buy it again if I didn't want to toss the extra $$ for the M2. Lightest one I could find.

I enjoyed that! Congrats to Gregory and the questionable guide . . . or was the guiding questionable. . . . nevermind.

devastator wrote:Awesome,how soon till we see some more?Love your vids!!

Hopefully soon. I only have a few for 2016. I'm trying to make the time to settle down with them and push them out.



Thanks for the compliments gents!

Some guys have all the luck. . . .

I just finished up the last hunt from the 2015 season (i know, way behind). It was a rough one to put together because when you're trying to shoot and video the footage suffers. I get aggravated when editing one I know I could have captured better so this one was fiddled with, left for months, then ...
