Coosefan, I always like looking at the rats here than in the wild. I use to kill everyone I saw but haven't killed one for a long time. If they leave me alone I leave them alone. Thanks for sharing.

Them are some great pics. I have been always told there isn't hardly any public hunting left and you got to pay out the ying- yang unless you know someone. I came from Ohio and even back there all the private clubs are buying everything up. We're still pretty lucky to have the public land we have here. You lucky dog you. Keep them pics coming. I enjoy the heck out of them.

Nice story and congrat on a fine looking turkey Lance. The story made me feel like I was there. What a way to wake up to start the day!

I sure appreciate your offer. I'm as stupid as they come about working anything with wires. I haven't figured how to get them on my computer. I don't have digital video. Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks again!

I'm just wondering which one is the turkey? OK OK, I'm only kidding. Nice bird!

That's way cool Mike. Can't wait to see it. Good luck on this Fridays turkey hunt. Are you going with the bow?

Younghyunter, you're killing me with these pictures. I'm going to hide in your suitcase!

Good pics and keep up the good hunting the rest of thr year.

Here is some info on rattle snake bite. After talking with a friend of mine this morning he said Mike Wiederhold of Rio Verde K-9, who is a dog trainer from Carefree, told him about the vaccine. There is a series of 2 shots which cost around $16 ea. Sounds like a pretty reasonable price to pay. Gilbert Animal Hospitol, 480-892-1554, Gilbert,AZ Power Ranch Animal Hospitol, 480-988-6488, Mesa,AZ I would think any vet would carry it. Oh ya, then you have to repeat just 1 shot every year there after. Thanks again for posting the subject. I think I'll have my dog done.

Well, here's my$.02 worth. I really enjoyed reading Lance's reply. Sounds like he has had some expience and would be hard to disagree with that. I personally believe it's alot like archery hunting. Any shot will work as long as you know your comfort kill zone. If you use quail shot then you better be real real real close. The bigger the shot the farther away your diatance can increase. I personally don't have any one particular shot I refer. A full choke works well out to the longer ranges but for setting on decoys any choke will work. #2 & 4's are probably your norm. Good hunting and shoot straight!

I really like standing up picture. I'm always looking for new ways of taking pics of everthing and will have to try this angle. Good job again!

Lance, cool picture of the turkey in the snow. Was that this trip? Keep us informed,TJ

Did you mean etched??? JK. Thanks, yes that's me, can't spell worth a !@#$. My wife gets tired of me asking her how to spell this & that.

That's some nice work. Gamehauler made some similar but they keep getten trashed by the bulls or bears. Neat pics.

GH, she is worth more than her weight in GOLD. I can honerstly say that she has saved many people thier backs and the memories have been itched forever in my mind. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES

i've read alot of em in my few years around and just had to let the wife in on this one. she doesn't think it happened that way but i no better caus stuff like that happens to me all the time. people now n then just don't take people serious. if i new where this happened i would try and get my butt down there with the hope of gettin that there talkin javelina on video. I aint never heard of one drivin before. thanks for sharin a grate story!

I've never called one in and shot it cause I hunt in the Nov archery hunt but I do play with them anyways during rut. Never leave your call in camp. You just never know when it will work. I have had some success wih the new Hoochie Mama. It's easy to use and it realy calls them in. I wish I could show a picture of one I vedioed this last season but don't know how to put it on here. Good luck with your hunt. hoochie mamaaaaaaaaaa!

That's what I'm talking about. I sure like seeing them youngins out there. She is a sweetie! The girl that is.

Thanks Mike for showing Amber. We will have to have a few beers around the fire some nite and try and figure out how many elk it has hauled out. It's up there alot more than you think. You still need a lower passenger step to complete her.

I have a friend,"yes I have one, " who is currently training a young bird dog. He told me awhile back that him and a few guys had thier dogs vaccined for snake bite somewhere in Carefree I think. It was a series of shots. I'll find out more detail and price tomorrow. He also said you still had to take your dog to the vet if it got bitten. Later!

Congrad on a nice looking bird. I would have done the same. Most would have said they called him in. You guys shoot staight.

Younghunter, I just happen to see this Topic and thanks. I just had shoulder surgery 3 weeks ago and my doctor saids he isn't sure if I will be able to pull my bow back by my Nov. archery bull hunt. I don't think this will work but it's a start on some ideas.

Thanks for the update. I'm heading there thru the keys.

My wife says that Gamehauler has made a CWT addict out of me. I ask her what her favorite part of hunting was and she started laughing. She came back with just the opposite. She said " I don't like getting up early / I don't want to walk more than 200yds / Quit telling me to just pull the !@#$% trigger / I don't make noise you do / I don't like you trying to video my turkeys and scareing them away / Why do I have to gut it / Get your own beer /" I don't think I had anything to do with any of that but she still likes pulling the trigger and braggin about the shot. ;

I just went to carbon the last 2 years because I had to drop down to 58lbs from 72lbs cuss of my bum shoulder. My 05 cow was a pass thru at 15rds but my 06 bull was broadside the same distance and it for some reason hit a rib, reflexed up into the far side of the spine. I was shooting from a ground blind. They fly really well but I have some concern. I'm certainly no expert but I hear nothing but good stuff from George at Archery Headquarters.
