Saw the first one yesterday. Right on schedule based on past dates. Expect the hummers in about ten days.

Sorry to hear this, peace be with you and Sally's loved ones.

Many many years it's been that way

Stock market is all time high. Unemployment is an close to an all time low. You still seem to be wanting to talk theory when we have actual data and Im not sure I understand why.

If you buy a Polaris make sure it has a heated seat and grips. That way your butt and hands won't get cold while waiting for someone to come pick you up.

Buy a Honda or Yamaha

OK, thanks for the replies all.

I remember it. I was a sophomore then.
That's when I decided I wanted to go into the military. Ended up not happening because I had to many knee issues and couldn't pass the physical.
Iran was responsible for the bombing.
It killed over 200 Marines plus Navy Seals and several soldiers from the French military IIRC.
This is just one of the many terroristic attacks on the United States that Iran has been solely responsible for and or linked to over the last 40 years. We should have made a sheet of glass out of Iran when it happened instead of walking on egg shells.

The only wild turkey I ate that I cared for was turkey jerky. I love store-bought turkey made almost any way.
They are fun to hunt, though.

If all of my guns disappear and I have to choose one gun for replacement, it would be an 870 Wingmaster. I still have the one I bought used in 1967 by mowing lawns and launching bots at the lake.

160 is spot on.

Just to update on the www.wildturkeydna.com project - you can head to the website to learn more. Last season (2025) was the start of the project. It was aimed at folks who shot rare plumage or different plumage turkeys, unique feathers etc. If you go to the website you can see. They would then send a kit out and they are working on publicizing the results of what the genetic makeup of those birds submitted are. It's been really interested to see the results, a lot of surprises for sure.

This yearh (2026) they did a call for folks to request kits to participate. My husband and I submitted a request back in February or March and were chosen. Our kits arrived, instructions are included and a vile with liquid in it. When you harvest you go online, log information about where you shot the bird, pictures of the wings, spurs, bears and fan. Then slice of 1/4" of its tongue, pop it in the vile, freeze it and drop it off at the post office. Neither of our birds had any differing plumage, but were taken from the same farm.

Essentially they are looking to find out how inbred turkey are becoming. That is kind of the laymen's way of putting it, and there is more they are looking into, but it will all be released to the public.
