Yes, my life will be encompassed fully by turkey hunting with a side of school the next 8 weeks. A little over 6 weeks of MS turkey hunting, and then a trip to the Mark Twain National Forest in MO to extend our season. May also go to Kansas or South Dakota after the Missouri trip.
There are 3 different gobblers in the first pics..All big birds..They are using our fields regularly and I am going to try to get one with a bow opening week..Will be my first turkey with a bow if I succeed, and a feat very few have accomplished.

Let me know when mother in law season is in so I can pass on the word to MoT. He's been ranting and raving about wanting to try out his new toy. I just want him to leave me the hell alone. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

I got to watch the first raw footage of the gobbler guillotine while I was on a turkey hunting trip in Texas. It was the first year they had came out. Main issue is arrow flight with that huge broadhead. I am gonna use 2 blade rages.

gobble gobble mother ****er

Best sound in the world!

Along with the PFTTTTTTTTT VOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMP (spitin n' drummin') of the bird when hes close range. They make that noise inside their chest. Really something to experience. Its hard to pinpoint the direction of their drumming as it seems like you can hear it from every direction.
