I had a stellar year this '08 season and give credit to "God" He's the only reason I have all the game animals I got. Congrats on the great season.....all I got was a jake...but I'm not complaining, he tasted great!

Nice photo with the 2 birds and the shotgun in the middle. I agree ! 2008 was my best season for TOM. In 7 years, I've managed to take 4 birds. The other 3 years without a bird was because they were just henned-up and couldn't get them to commit. 08 was special because he weighed 20 1/2 lbs, 9" beard and 1 1/8" spurs.

2007 was the worst year I'd had in over 25 years of chasing gobblers in S.E. Okla. 2008 was worse than 07 by quite a bit. I ended up killing 2 good gobblers on the last 3 days of season. But thats after hunting almost every day of a season that lasts a month. State Game Biologist I spoke with said that turkey numbers were down due to 2 consecutive summer droughts which did away with a lot of protein (bugs) that young turkeys depend on to survive. This summer has been wet and we had a good hatch so hopefully things are on a upswing here.
