April 25! 

Hey everyone! Anybody getting out this spring for some turkey??? I'm looking forward to it! Got lots of time off to be hunting them this spring, got fortunate and got a nice tom opening morning last year! First one ever actually and now I'm hooked like deer lol. Here's last spring. Everyone else can post there spring Tom's! 

Hey everyone just got this lot for sale I'm asking 20$ for everything as seen. I'm located in stevensville. 

Hello everyone, I just got back from a fishing sale today, and I bought a mystery tackle box, and included in this was these?? I've fished my whole life and never seen these or am sure what they are used for if someone could help me thank you! 

Hi. I have some vension from this fall my father gave me, and I'm looking at getting some peperettes made. Is there anybody local who makes it? And if so what is process like? Ex. Do I grind it up and send it in? Thank you so much:-) 

Went out this morning with my dad, and we both ended up getting one each! Gonna be good eating in the air fryer.. just killing time till deer opener. 

I was successful 😌

Neat idea David !  I could have done this with my big moose rack but it was too heavy . 

So , I assume you caught those squirrels with that crank bait ?  

Haha! Caught them with the ole .22 crankbait ;-) 

Here's a little board I made out of my small antlers I've had since a kid, used a piece of 2x8 board, and some squirrels I harvested last year lol. It's nice it holds my rod for me lol!

Wow David, those are some nice looking bucks.

what xbow did you buy?

 

I ended up getting a Barnett 380xp xbow with crank mechanism on it and I love it! Shoots so fast and so compact! 

October. 1! For archery season, bought a nice new xbow this year and hope to use it on a deer! 

Had a nice group of 4 bucks show up on my camera last night! Been hunting my farm for 8 years and didn't know I had these guys lol. 

Yup! I don't fish from a boat.. but from shore and even fishing the lake/river is making it challenging.. 

You are very right Dave! I noticed this year was not as good as last year! Only got 2 myself! They were not as loaded in this spot as last year but like you said every day is different! 

Hey guys I was wondering would it be possible to attach a little trolling motor on my yak? Just a little something to help with my health issues paddling out further and enjoying it more! This is my yak for refence! And if so what would you recommend that wouldn't kill my bank lol. 

I catch silver bass in the upper all the time and love catching them and eating them such white meat! 

Possible kitty litter scooper?

Way to go David , real nice bird and I hope you enjoy your turkey dinner soon . When I used to mount birds I cut the feet open and pulled the tendons out with pliers and forced borax inside the legs and toes. . As mentioned you can stand the legs upright  spread the toes , hold them apart with pins on a piece of wood . Salt will do but I prefer the borax for birds and fish .  How are you going to cook this delicious looking bird ?  

Gonna cook it up this Friday! Just going to get my mom to stuff it with dressing and just do it up like a Christmas turkey in the oven, I'm very excited to try wild turkey!

Congrats Davidp16. Was that your first time hunting turkey?

Thanks Tyler! This was my second year going after them! I had to throw in the towel early last year due to health reasons and had to stop hunting last year.

Nice bird. How did you remove all the feathers ?

I just did it the old fashion way and just hand plucked them all no problem! 

Hey guys! Got it done this morning!!! Got my first ever bird at 7am right on the dot! Am working afternoons this week and Got done at 11pm last night went home and woke up at 445am to get out there. Was a beautiful chilly morning had 3 does come in around 630am, heard a few Tom's gobble. I looked over and saw a Tom walking in slowly to my decoys, didn't call at all today just set up my decoys.. he was so focused on the hen decoy and that's when I got him one shot and fell down, I'm so thankful to harvest my first ever bird. 

I know right when are they gonna learn smh.. lol..
