    I can't for the life of me figure out how to get these pictures posted off of my mac... I tried the "insert image" button. It won't work. When I drag the photo into here from my desktop, only one picture shows up. Anyone have a mac?

    Oh btw, as you can see I got it done boys. First hunt out by 7am at less than 10yds. 10" beard 1 inch spurs 23 pounds...

    Can anyone help me?

    Looks like Tims bird will score 63 so that would put us at 181.

    Well I tagged out yesterday here in New York. After being outsmarted with my bow and gun for a whole week, I finally connected on a pair of toms that strut in a field every day. I didn't call, didn't have a decoy out, I just watched how the hen led them around the previous couple days and sat and waited. They flew down to where I was sitting the previous two days and strutted around a dusting hen for 45 minutes about 500 yards out. Sure enough, the hen walked that 500 yards right to me, while they gobbled and strutted the entire way. The rest was history. Inch spurs, 9-3/4" beard and just over 19 pounds. Got to have my girlfriend right by my side during this awesome hunt, she's my lucky charm. It was weird not having to wake up at the break of dawn this morning for sure.

    I have another tag but I haven't seen any birds around that will beat the one I already scored! Hunted yesterday and called in two jakes. Not many birds around my area right now.

    I figured it out... All thanks to Fitz! Not the prettiest bird or pictures I've ever taken but they will work! Keep an eye out for the hunt on a future episode. For those still chasing, best of luck. One more bird may just put us over the top. Thats would be a heck of an accomplishment-repeat champs!
