coueschaser3.....pm sent!

Thanks for sharing. Nice pics. Marshal Lake?????????? TJ

plus 1 on this one for sure TJ

I've already sold a few things to pay for my sheep tag. 30plus yrs. and counting! TJ

I've stepped beside them, over them, and even had one strike my boot but have escaped a bite somehow. I use to kill everyone I saw but have not killed one in over 10 or so years. I finally realized they are here for a reason and they are neat to look at. I would kill another if it gave me reason though. TJ

Holy s!##! them are amazing. Awesome find! TJ

Wow, neat story and thanks for sharing and helping out the deer population. TJ

It don't get any better than that. Good looking kids. Must have taken after their mother. TJ

Nice buck twoguns. That sure looks like a big hole. What broadhead did you use? TJ

Coueschaser3....has your friend ever hunted 22s before? Jim is right about it being a tough hunt. Plenty of scouting is the key to success in this unit. Good luck to your friend on his hunt! TJ

Wow, nice collection. Thanks for sharing. TJ

I use whatever is clean. TJ

Sorry to hear about your accident. I certainly hope your recovery is quick. I'm not making fun of this but I bet you forgot about the back for a little while. Keep us informed on your progress. Take care and a speedy recovery. TJ

Ok, firstcoueswas80 finally got it right. A big +1! TJ

REAL funny Casey! Even I got that one. Don't let anyone see you crying after all the yelling & screaming. All kidding a side, good luck and I hope you make it. Best of luck! I'll be sleeping in on opening day. No since in getting it over with to soon. Breakfast, coffee around the camp fire in the morning, a mid afternoon nap, and then enjoy the rest of the day looking thru the binos. Don't hurry a good thing. TJ

Welcome to the site and nice find. TJ

Coues & Sheep said I was gobbling up to much of Amanda's web site so I deleted all the gobbler pics but Ted's bird. Sorry Amanda! I'll figure this down sizing one of these days. TJ

Jackshoe (Ted Bounds) and I decided to give it one last try and headed up to our area Tuesday with no luck that afternoon. We couldn't get a peep out of any of them turkeys. We decided on an area where we had seen some tracks and were up at 3:15am and were in our spot by 4:30am. after carrying in the doublebull blind and 2 chairs. We set up on a ridge and waited for daylight. I started with a few hen yelps but had no response. We decided if a turkey was in our area, it had heard us, so we chose to be quite and not get aggressive. At 5:55 this turkey walks by the blind and I turn to Ted and find him sleeping. I nudged his leg and he opens his eyes and realizes this isn't a dream. He slowly raises his gun and lets the safety off. The #6's did the trick at just 15yrds. It was a tough year for turkeys but we managed to get 10 out of 14 from our camps. Here's a few pics. [

Them little ones would taste good on crackers & cheese. TJ

Snapshot, I feel your pain believe me. I suffered for many years with a herniated disc in my lower neck and had the same symptoms as TLH and your wife discribed. I finally, about 8 years ago, had Barrows Nerological Institute fuse my 6 & 7th vertabrae together, installed a titanium plate/screws, and told me to never play sports or run again. Getting to old for sports but I do run occasionally while hunting and usually hurt later that night. I waited till after pig season and was out of work for 4 months, shooting the bow in 6months, and didn't miss archery elk in Nov. I couldn't carry any load for about a year. My Father has 4 fused in his back and was out for a year of hunting but he was about 70 when he had it done. He's 79 now and the days and hours are limited on a hunt. TLH is right about the physical condition of your body and recovery time. I would say the biggerst thing to do is reserch your surgeons records. You are the one who has to live with the results. Good luck to you, TLH, and your wife. TJ

Looks like you hit pay dirt there. Congr and thanks for sharing. That's nice TJ

A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you all. TJ

Congratulations on your bird. Thanks for sharing. TJ

Gino....yes, we did alright. The first pic of Ted's turkey does look like a hen but we thought it might be a jake. I'm not much of a turkey expert. All the other birds were gobblers for sure. Two were just under 20lbs and the rest 20plus. My Dad's bird had the longerst beard I've seen. The pictures aren't that good but it exceede 13" if you count a couple of hairs. Troy...I did see your picture and post. I replied with a big congratulations on your bird. Nice!

Know telling what will happen now if you can't be there to guard them beer coolers! I suggest putting younghunter in charge. Being it's his birthday! TJ
