No worries Bigtine. Glad you made it to camp and good luck. On that note if y'all still want to find a team name Ill put my vote in for DECAPITATION INC.
Welcome to the party Bigtine! We've got a full team now so that's awesome? Looks like 2 votes for Decapitation Inc. Any luck tonight Hoyt?
Im at work tonight get off at 9am gonna try again tomorrow afternoon. Then back to work thursday and get off sat morning. If not tomorrow then hoping to make acquaintance with the Easter Turkey come this wknd. And good luck to y'all if your season is open yet I know its not many right now.
Almost.... 3 days, 9 hours. I can almost taste it! Actually I can. My wife needed ground turkey to cook something the other night and I dug out our last package. She almost freaked out thinking we didn't have anymore. I told her, boy for someone that doesn't want to go hunting with me, you sure are lucky the season opens in a couple days huh!
Thankfully (usually) lol my wife loves to hunt and fish. I still have my trips with the guys, theres a group of us at work that try to make a trip somewhere every year. As for meat in the freezer. We haven't had turkey in a while but I just finished all my deer about 3 weeks ago. 100 lbs dried sausage and 100 lbs of fresh sausage. 27 lbs of bacon, pork ribs and a pigs worth of pork chops. I didn't make any summer sausage or buck sticks this year. Hopefully Ill have my processing room built this year. Then I can make it all at my own place.
Ok so when I got off work this morning I decided to go to the sporting goods store to get some long blade broad heads. All they had was the muzzy MORE turkey blades. Thats fine its got a 3"cut. Fast forward. 4:30 head out and pull up to my spot. Damn the luck I see 2 strutters close by. I park and start walking, they headed in the brush. I got decoys set and started calling for the hell of it. 30 sec later I see a head coming through the grass. He walks out to my decoys to check them out. I quickly get my new Muzzys on the arrow and load up. Had gobbler at 25 yards, chirped a little he stopped aimed just below head and let it fly. Have you ever kicked a punching back with all you had. Thats the sound I heard and saw my bird hobbling off with an arrow sticking out of him. So I ran him down and the rest is a bird on the board boys. Pics coming shortly. Almost forgot.. In my buying excitement I made a rookie mistake and didn't check the grains of the arrow head. I shot a 125 and Im sighted for 100s. Thats the cause of the low shot. I tried to stay true to our perhaps team name lol
Sweet Congrats! Decapitation INC. is on the board!!!! Just seen two strutters earlier on a property that I have permission to hunt.. April 13th can't some soon enough here in Minnesota!
