Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Birth of a deer camp

Found a dead eagle and called the game warden. Not sure what killed it. I think maybe the big golden eagle that lives in the same area might have did it.



Me sitting behind the boy and calling for him after I filled my tag. I wish the cirumstances would have worked for him to get the first bird though.

My first Wild Turkey. 9.5" beard. 1" spurs and 20.2lbs.

Cool Jim,

Just goes to show you can teach on old Rooster new tricks !

haha thanks Paul. If I had known how easy it was to post pics, I would have done it years ago. lol

Here is the boy in our first setup.

Swear to god Jim, I saw this guy on tv the other day and I thought it was you.

Some bbq cooking competition show.

Really fun show to watch actually (for me anyways)

Doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood

It does take awhile on computer too.

I like the BBQ competition shows. The one I see the most is called Pit Masters. Cool show but makes me hungry.

That's the show!!

Sorry Jim, maybe I picked a bad picture.

It would be fun to on there and win. Good 'ol MN boys bringing BBQ to the south.

Drinking Hi-life while we do it.

haha last time I checked I had a NECK for pete's sake! lol

Well, maybe it was mannerisms or something.

Dude could certainly cook.

Then it couldn't have been Rooster

Could be the same guy....one of your chins is down in the turkey picture.

Funny phuggers aren't ya?! lol

Took the boy out this evening. Thought this was a pretty cool pic. It's a little blind I slapped together for deer hunting last year. I've had Turkeys on trail cam in this area before but no luck tonight.

That thing looks real.

Try the set up with hen dekes, no jake or tom. See what that does for ya. EVERY time I've used toms or jake dekes, I've scared off birds.

Maybe different in your neck of the woods, but mix it up a bit. Did the wind die down there yet?

It's slowed down some but it's been a pecker for the last 3 days

Being weak willed in the matter of firearms and working part time in a gun/pawn shop seems conducive to "stuff" coming home with me. Today I acquired for a reallllyyyyy GOOD price a Winchester 94 in 30-30 with a 3.6 million serial number which means a manufacture date of 1971.The early seventies were when Winchester committed the awful mistake of using a steel alloy for receivers. This stuff surface rusted and would not take a reblue. It had an awful side mount scope mount with a Tasco 4X.This came off immediately.The receiver has mucho "PATINA".
It is what it is. I intend to clean it really good and shoot it iron sighted.
I love a good 30-30 and hunt a lot with my 1947 dated Stevens Model 325 bolt action in 30-30.
There's just something good about the feel of a good lever gun.

I've been wondering about that. But you have to have birds around to scare off. When I actually see Tom's I get them to gobble on the crow warning call but there has been nothing here. In the fall, they are all over this place.
