Non-Typical Solutions

May we give tribute and respect the lives of those spent on this scum of the earth as well as to those who continue to fight against his followers. Mell of a hess was that the Ace of hearts???? Anybody hear any kind of explaination as to the burial at sea??? I didn't get to hear too much but that sounded kinda odd. I would have strapped him onto some heat seeking missle and shot that sucker off......

Brentwood up by buffalo crossing is a church campground don't know if they charge, there is water. Contact the Duncan stake they would know...

The thing that facinates me is the non-typical growth that consistently patterns the same year after year. It is almost as if there is an invisible pattern up there that the antler has to follow.....and it does...... Do you suppose the difference in those samples is just time???

Great opportunity to thank Amanda for keeping this site pretty dang clean. I ventured over to another site and didn't spend much time there because of the language. I'll let my kid read this site and not worry about that. Thanks Amanda

Awesome footage and hats off to the big boy for holding off the theives....thanks Tony...

And don't let pictures or maps decieve you, that hard to get to parts of 27 are hard to get to for a reason. Up and down and rough......

27..............Gods Country

We really struck out on this youth turkey hunt in the past. Felt like a complete flop in the dad department. We were able to get in on some action Saturday morning. We set up calling right off the bat after hearing a tom but could not seem to pull him in so we got up and headed in a direction to try and catch up with him. We walk about 10 yards only to scatter a couple of hens flying down the ridge. After several sets of calling with no real gain in positioning we decided to bust tail and try to get ahead of the gobble gobble and set up. Fortunately this time we were able to get Cole is position. I set up above Cole to call, put him behind a big Ponderosa pine. As we called we could tell that the tom was coming closer. Cole would turn and look at me raising his thumbs up. The first time I saw the tom I thought Cole could not see him cause of the big pine tree so I am whistling at him trying to get his attention. He assures me he can see the tom So I started watching Cole more than the turkey, I see him pull up his gun slowly and then I see him jerk, you know they way you jerk when you don't have a round in the chamber. I was proud of him though, he calmly chambered a shell in and set up again for the shot. BOOM he jumps up, bird down, bird down. All the sudden I see him pull up again BOOM. He shoots again. (Lost a bird two years ago that he peppered.) He says, "Dad, he was acting just like that one that got away so I made sure this time he didn't!!!) We were able to call this tom up from the bottom of the draw and Cole made the shot. What a great time! Antler find of the hunt. Driving down a dead end dirt road, almost dark, I decide to turn around, look in my rear view mirror left side and low and behold this little horn is lying right next to the road. If I woulda kept driving I would have never seen the horn. First ever road find antler.

Sounds like one for the books, nice job you two....

As usual Shane doing a great job of getting kids in shooting position, nice job kids.

Cool photo, interesting how that picture shows the degrading state of the dead elk. Just melting into the earth and that lions belly, all part of the cycle. Thanks for sharing

That is funny cause one of my outlaws fished Luna this past weekend and swore there were no fish in the lake

Deer haven't dropped and the elk with new growth, nice pics....

Congrats Nick, that is a nice lookin bird and the smile is priceless......good gobble!!!!!

Great story and pics, thanks for posting it...

Congrats on a good day fishin.......looks like fun...

Thanks everybody for the help, I appreciate it. Headed out tomorrow with jr to see if we can't get close enought to put one down.....

Just curious what shot you prefer for taking the big bird down? And, what the heck do you do with a turkey after you get one down to properly take care of the meat???

I could use a gps like that once in a while.....nice

That is awesome.....never encountered one of those buggers, probably spend too much time up high, but that is great. Thanks.....

Awesome footage.......do you mind sharing setup details?? Where was the call in relation to the turkey we see in the video?? Where were you in relation to where the call was??? That looks pretty fun to me.....

Our family gets ornaments every year to add to our collection. I told my wife I was gonna try some Antler Ornaments. Don't consider myself an artist by any stretch of the imagination but had alot of fun playing with these projects. These are about 3" in diameter and my wife loved them.

Looks like a great time but you left out all the details...like.....where you were fishin, what you were using....you know all the important stuff Nice job......thanks for sharing....

Kinda wish I coulda been there, but then again.....that looks like a rough day in antler country. Nice finds....

And don't waste a minute of time with him cause it flys by fast.....congrats to all involved..
