For the second year in a row I killed one that flew to me! My second bird of the season last week flew across a steep holler when he saw my decoy I had staked 3' from me. I had just sat down because I had no more cover to move closer and he was working his way across the hillside 150+ yards away. He saw the decoy and dead stopped, turned around and walked about 15 yards and took flight right at me [emoji23] I had the safety off and ready when he touched down. He was dead in about 30 seconds!

It works enough to keep at it. It is, you know, a disease.

Ain't that the frigg'n truth

Dang Jay, how have you been buddy![/quote]

Living the life, retired on social security with 2 bad knees and hips. As Mickey Mantle said, "if I knew I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself". I miss Turkey Hunting the most, so I have to live the experience thru you guys, and my boys. Thanks for asking. Good luck with your season, buddy.[/quote]
Great to hear from ya Captain!!! How the hell have you been. I think of you every once and again.
You probably ain't heard, but I ain't the machine I once was. Dam texting 20 year old girl ended my long walks in the woods.
Boy, we really used to lay the Turkeys down, didn't we!!!
Still get a few nowadays, but nothing like before. I get out there as much as I can.
Are you not able to get out there any??? Our WMA has a Wheelchair zone now. Come on down, and we will roll together!! :mrgreen:[/quote]
LOL.
Thanks to good drugs, I'm not in a wheelchair yet. I see the Site dropped the Turkey team contests. Too bad. I loved those contests. One year I was on three different teams. When I first started a team, I had kind of gotten lazy, and had lost a bit of dedication to the sport. The contests rekindled my drive, and I really got back into it. Was a real good thing for me personally. Real sorry you haven't recovered from your accident. Life has a tendency to throw curve balls at you.
