North40R 14 point Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 7,978 South of 20/North of 10	I've been keeping up with you fellas on here but haven't had much time to post. Congrats on all the kills. I knew my season was going to be tough due to a shutdown we had scheduled at work. I've worked 35 (12 hour nights, 5pm to 5am) and 3 days since season opened. Our birds never really gobbled and only once this season did I hear more than one bird. The most I heard a bird gobble all season was maybe 30 times. I've talked with some local legends about this season and most of them have looked at me in awe when I tell them I killed 2 and missed another. My dad nor my son Hayden killed one. Chalk it up as a bad year! I worked too much! Was just too tired! Lol! I still love it! I honestly haven't put a tape measure on either of these birds but both looked to be solid 3 year olds. That's my grandson with me in the second pic and I fell asleep that morning listening to him tell his meme "Papa shot a turkey, Kade wants to shoot a turkey"! I've got a lot of good times ahead with that little guy! Last edited by North40R; 04/30/16 06:56 AM. Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience. Emerson

Comes to us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday."
