Remembering Warmer Days...

This farm and turkeys will always stay close in my mind. I pursued these two gobblers for over 2 years, being outsmarted everytime. They were different in the fact that they never did the same thing twice, contrary to some turkeys. Yes, there was no patterning them.

At the end of the 4 week season, I again gave up on chasing them. But I did clue my friend in on their whereabouts. Never before harvesting an adult gobbler, he took my advice and with 2 hours left in the season, harvested the bird strutting in the picture below! I was ecstatic with joy when he called me to tell me the news. What an accomplishment for him to take a 4 year old bird so late in the season! I took satisfaction in knowing I played a small part in revealing his location to my dear friend..

Wintertime Here In North Carolina

I had big plans to go up to the hunt club this weekend. Unfortunately the weater forecasters were wrong as usual. Beginning as sleet, 4-5 inches of snow was forecast. I didn't want to risk traveling 86 miles one way just to go take down stands and put out my cameras, so I stayed home. While 4-5 inches is not much to northerners, here in the south, it paralyzes most! People here can't drive....

Instead I stayed home on the internet researching do-it-yourself turkey hunts. My guide last year to my Osceola bird has harvested a bird in 39 states, most all on public land. So, as I near my successful Grand Slam, I felt like this was what I wanted to do. How neat would it be to take turkeys in every state in the US, including Hawaii! So stay tuned, hopefully I can come up with some useful information to share.

First Post On New Blog...

I never really thought I'd ever have a website or blog til recently. Heck, "What is a blog"? I read them alot but never actually knew why they existed....Most were linked in several hunting forums I frequent and in photography review boards.

Then one day I figured I needed one to express, to vent, and maybe advertise some things that interested me an perhaps others who had similar interests. I have basically just begun making my "presense" here on the internet, and do have much to learn about web designing, graphics, etc. Please bear with me, as I am just a newbie, and here's "MY SPACE"!
