Full Strut sounds pretty good

[Jackpine Rob]

Of course, I'll be calling for Jr.

My goal is to get a nice plump jake in front of him. Tender, tasty, and with nubs for spurs and a brush for a beard.

Bwahahahahahahah!

[RogerMN]

Hey Dan/Brian

I'll be hunting after both of you, 339-F in MN and Zone 19 May 14-18 in Wisconsin.

I like the sound of PUT'n and STRUT'n or Full Strut.

Doing some scouting this weekend hopefully I can post a pic of a big tom I have been seeing.

Just not good timing for a snow storm! My NE Trip is Canceled. so as of right now i'm down to the MN archery season. Its getting frustrating but this is the second time this year. Yet, i'm glad to see someone is going to get out this weekend. Good luck and drive safe.

[Nightcrawler]

[Nightcrawler]

need some help on how to post pictures from file and not whole file?

[Borch]

Nightcrawler,

You'll need to upload each picture onto a photo hosting site and then copy each photo URL, Click the image hot button at the top of the posting text box and then paste the url in the new window. Repeat for each photo you want to post and then submit you post when you're done.

[outfishedagain]

nice, can't wait to hear the stories

[Nightcrawler]

Borch I'am not a computer person.... do not know a hot button from a ULR. but i can e -mail.

. going to see if my son [32]can help ,will see him tonite.

If not can i send e-mail to you ?

thanks nightcrawler

[Nightcrawler]

OK, my son figured this out. Thursday we drove though the snow storm on the way to the Black Hills, took us and extra 4 hours. We (me, son, daughter-in-law) scouted for birds all day friday. We found what we needed to find and at 9 am I missed and 30 yard shot. At 10:30 am I heard some goobles in the distance and took off for the hills, not relieving that my group was waiting for me back at the meeting spot. SO everyone got the hear me clucking and running chasing my bird. Everyone was exicited because I had 4 Toms gobbling and all side. To make a long story short I called 2 Toms within 15 yards and the group was waiting for me to shoot. When I finally did they all jumped. I walked back to the truck with my Tom with an addience. They told me the story of me running up and down the hills chasing my Tom and shooting.Here is me coming up the hill.

This is my first Merriam

My son and daughter-in-law that evening set up some decoys and within seconds ended up with these two, our first double in our group and my daughter-in-law's first turkey. And yes she got the biggest of the weekend. Of course she always does, even with deer.

Good Luck everyone the rest of the season.

Nightcrawler

[huntmup]

Nightcrawler, congrats on your first Merriam. Good job getting us on the board.

Dan

[Papa Grump]

Congrats Nightcrawler !!!!!

[RogerMN]

Congratulations Nightcrawler

Sounds like everyone had a great time.

[outfishedagain]

nice sounds like it was a great hunt!!

[HateHumminbird]

Congrats Crawler, great birds all. Merriams have a special place in my heart with the great terrain they live in, and how pretty their plumage is. Sounds like a fun trip.

Speak softly, carry big stick

Started some scouting this past week and I have 2 different places to hunt from, within 2 miles of each other. My neighbor is on the outlook too and wants to join me for the hunt since he forgot to enter this year and he has been glassing some birds out his living room window about a 1/2 mile away. 9 days to go!

[Nightcrawler]

Papa Grump 9 days !!!,I can hardly wait, got 350 days to go!!!

Good Hunting, the weather should be more stable.

Seen two nice gobblers south of town by themselves a couple miles apart be for the snow over the weekend.
