spindoc Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Maybe I misunderstood your post. This will be the first youth season my youngest has missed ever. But we plan on making up for it the following weekend. I heard my firsts gobbles behind our house last week (unsolicited) Saw several strutters on all the usual places along I-64. It's really tough for me to drive this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content1 Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 I'm glad my son didn't go out last weekend :widened: a friend of ours thought it was last weekend. Good news is he and his son didn't go either. Thanks for the info spindoc. Saturday morning looks like it will be a great one. Let us know how you all do.

spindoc Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 So, how many of you are venturing out for opening day? Supposed to be 61 for the high with 15+mph winds. Perfect........not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindoc Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 My son whacked one this morning. We got a break of about an hour and a half from the wind to start the day. 22lbs. 10 1/2in beard, 7/8in spurs. He's in the refrigerator chillin', goin' in the crockpot in the morning. We nearly doubled, they came in at an angle only one of us would have a shot, and like a good father, I deferred. And the other Tom set sail before I could get on him. Good morning, the Lord blessed.

ThrillVille Cardinal51 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I got my first turkey today! He was a pretty bird. The beard was just a hair under 12 inches and it was heavy as hell! After cleaning it, the meat alone weighed 18 pounds. We have some cooking now and can't wait to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spindoc Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Got my first gobbler this morning. My turkey hunting partner, whom I've screwed up more turkeys with than we've killed, got one an hour and half later. 2 Toms in tow and in time for Sunday School. Perfect.

spindoc Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Went this morning. Not a peep. Zero. Like they dug a hole and all committed turk-o-cide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1968isaac Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Took my first evening bird at 6:55pm today.... Beautiful sunset up high on the strip job, complete with strutting Tom putting on his show. God is good and I am blessed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
