    CJ's hunt was over before the sun came up. About a 12 yard shot and we watched them come from almost 100 yards away. He used a 870 Youth 20gauge.

     

    Yeah.  He shot him at 5:10.  Christian used the same gun.

    Wednesday morning was my grand nephew Christian’s opening morning for the youth turkey hunt.  Easiest hunt I’ve ever been on. We got the turkeys to gobble first thing but far away.  Took us a while to get close to them while they were in the tree. We were able to set up about a hundred yards from them.  I got the decoys set up, called once and they gobbled back.  Called a second time and he was on the ground about 80 yards away.  My nephew seen him strutting coming up the hill behind some hens.  I made one more light call, he saw the decoys and strutted right in to them.  He was 20 yards and Christian busted him with his 20 guage. From the time of setting decoys up to when he shot him took only five minutes. Awesome morning with Christian.

    Anyone know if FR 249 from Alpine to Big Lake is open yet. I called the ranger district and he acted like he didn’t want me using “his” forest! Told me the road might not be open til mid May. Says it’s covered with snow drifts and downed trees. ADOT says they are opening SR273 and 261 on April 15. Hoping to take the kids up next weekend for the hunt/fish combo. Happy Easter! 

    261 is open from Eagar to Big Lake.  Went up fishing Friday evening.

    went to big lake the other day, didnt fish but the water looked terrible and there was lots of funky smelling green algae. 

     

    i did have a great time playing pinetop lakes though, good luck 

    Big Lake has had a bad algae bloom for about two months now.  Smells horrible.

    congrats standman!!!!!    are u big on scent or do you place your blind down wind?  these darn swerling winds coming off mt graham have been kicking my butt.   I don't spray myself down but I wash all my cloths in scent away products and shower with scent away shampoo and body soap.    

    Thanks!  I do place my blind on the prevailing down wind side.  I wash my clothes in scent free soap.  I don’t spray down.  With my blind, I do keep only the window I want to shoot out of open.  The fewest windows open I feel the better for scent containment.  I have been using one of those ozone scent eliminating gadgets. Does it work? I really don’t know but figured why not try it.  I have very few deer wind me so maybe it does work or maybe I’m just lucky to not have to much swirling wind. That’s all I do. Good luck.
