Yesterday I saw three different broods. One the chicks were the size of Pheasants; one they were the size of half grown pheasants; one was 3-4 days old (tiny) all the broods had 9 chicks or more. ;D |

Yesterday, while dumping a load of #000 & a load of #00 (triple & double ought sand) out along the perimeter of the mine, I counted 23 turkeys in this batch. I couldn't see any chicks with with these birds, but no doubt they were there in the grasses. I have seen several babes this year as well. There numbers look look great here as well. It hasn't been dry here tho. In resent days gettin' over 13" just that one day  . That put us 12.5" higher then was normal at this time. From the looks of the weather report, it's going to be raining for the next 4 afternoons. So I don't think I'll see many turkeys. now deer will be wantin' to see what my bumper & tires taste like come mid-night when I'm drivin' home, so 35 to 45 mph is standard speed for comin' home. |

Oh great so theye're mouthy and know everything! Look at the bright side Donny. You should be able to catch these punk turkeys on foot & no need for a shotgun. They can only run so fast when there britches keep sliddin' down to there knees, & trippin' them all the time  ;D. Sorry. Couldn't help it  DD ~ Do you have a Fall turkey hunt out there? or are you going to have to wait until spring? |
