wow between bowhunter and Donnersurvivor I think cow birds may just be interesting enough for one of the kids to do a 4H project on. I had no idea they were so interesting.

I’ve only seen them once time while I was visiting my brother down in Idaho. He said they weren’t worth eating, and I took his word for it.

I've shot maybe a dozen turkeys. It was fun on the first couple watching them gobble and strut but there didn't seem much challenge in shooting one so I lost interest myself.

Ate one of the kids turkey breast from last year tonight for dinner. It was very good. Deep fried the entire bird is good.

Just dropped another few hundred on crap for turkey hunting tonight. New camo for the boys they keep growing, a few more calls, face net for the youngest he wanted face paint last year , and bug spray. Glad we still have plenty turkey loads. both traditional #5 and tss.

Lol I can't agree with you on boring bowhunting deer. Put me on a top of a canyon as the sun is coming up watching a big muley through the spotter pick his bed for the day and me strategizing on how I'm going to make my stalk in short grass and that's challenging.

Friend of mine says the hardest part of turkey hunting is getting off the couch and sliding the glass door open a few inches.... grin

Kind of like chasing elk, they are vocal and silent on approach it’s a game you like or don’t and I agree it’s an addiction

An 8 year little girl can kill a deer with a modern firearm...especially with a scope.

I’ll say this I’m 61 didn’t have turkey around here till I was 28 learned it myself just like deer hunting dad put me in a stand at 10 and left to his stand . There wasn’t no youth seasons or guns that fit you . You learned by doing that’s just how it was .

Speaking of tags. Yesterday I thought to ask the wife if she got the boys yout licenses yet this year she said yes. I thought about it and asked if she was sure. No she didn't she was rembering buying my combos hunting fishing license Before I went fishing last month. Old one was not expired yet but I like them taken care of early.

Well Indiana changed the system and the kids go under my licens in the system tell they are 13 so she had to set the 14 year old up his own account. Amd she could not get loged into my account to get my 12 year old license. he will be 13 in September. She ended up geting locked out of the system and his going to try to go get it at a store.

Technology is nice when it works. told my wife it reminds me of having to drive to several stores to find one not sold out of deer tags years ago.

I hope she can het his license taken care of or we will just have to hunt on the farm. Being a holiday she can't get ahold of anyone in any of the DNR offices.

Edit. she got it after having to argue with the lady at bass pro telling her he didn't need one if hunting with a licensed hunter. It's taken care of now if 7pm would get here.

I’m very happy that this many people are of the opinion that turkeys are easy, dumb, boring, and taste horrible.
