    Expensive morning…

    I shot a (2) bearded gobbler and a bearded hen in the same season a few years back and paid quite a bit in supplies to have my dad mount it (I cant imagine what it would have ran to take it to another taxi). Spend the money with a big smile on your face as these are once in a lifetime type...

    Thinking about getting into it...

    It might influence there normal patterns if they had been previously using the fields a lot but they should still be in the same general area and I don't feel it would have any affect on their overall activity

    Mind helping out a non-resident currently hunting in Ohio?

    I have been told by quite a few locals that Woodbury is worth the drive from my location. I personally have not been there yet but if I did need some public ground to hunt that is probably where I would start. I also know there is quite a bit of AEP ground that is supposed to be good hunting...

    Ohio Turkey Hunting Report

    Although it is leaning forward which can be a little deceptive I would still ballpark it 11-12 inches just for shits and giggles ill say 11.5 inches. I have shot a few with 11+ and you will know when you see one that is over 12. The first bird I ever shot at touched the ground and curled back...

    Birthday Bird

    Congratulations on a gorgeous bird. Hope your birthday got even better as the day went on (I always wished mine was during turkey season so I had a better excuse to take off). Sounds like your buddy gave you a pretty good birthday present setting you up on a bird.

    Ohio Turkey Hunting Report

    Hunted PA on Saturday. Passed two small Jakes and was on birds all day came really close just to have (2) guys sneak on the birds while we were working them at 11:00 AM. Worked birds until 12:30 but figured it was time to back out in that the day ends at 12:00 (dumb rule in my opinion) but had...

    My 2015 Tom

    My wife would shoot me if I tried to bring home another full body mount. Very nice color palette to that bird. What did it measure? Also I was wondering what your bird this year scored using NWTF calculations? If you don't mind my asking what is the going price for a full body on a turkey now a...

    My 2015 Tom

    It is all a choice of preference in that both artificial and freeze dried techniques have improved vastly over the last decade. The only concern I have ever had with freeze dried is just that you have to ensure the never become exposed to water, many will receive some form of shrinkage during...

    Raising Pheasant

    When we used to raise we would hold some as "carry over" to see how well they were surviving. It took a few farmers quite a few years around my parents house to final start having enough that you would see wild hatchlings the following year after a stock. Its been a while since I have hunted...

    Ohio Turkey Hunting Report

    My experience with turkey hunting is that they have a phase similar to most animals but for sake of discussion lets use deer: Stage 1: "Pre Rut" (excuse my comparison but it is somewhat logical) in which the spend a lot of time searching for hens, staging breeding zones, etc... This is the...

    My 2015 Tom

    Good write up......gorgeous bird I think I may have stated this before but the spurs have a wonderful color to them. Advice on the mount would be to use an artificial head just as my opinion. My dad was a taxidermist for years and after doing/watching multiple freeze dried heads I feel that...
