Dave - I'm going to have to wait and see how My Hunt goes here downstate. A Buddy and I are trying to do it the hard way - no Camo, no blind - one Guy calling and a shooter. Might just come up and hang around Camp for a day or three if that's OK - Bob.

[tattoo dave]

You're always welcome Bob, even if it is a day or two. I always do it the hard way. Although I do get the camo out, but no blind. Get the caller 10-20 yards behind the shooter, but not too far. I've done this method before and had the bird show up in between us, so behind the shooter. That was a bummer. Good luck Bob!

Going up to the campground tomorrow to do some turkey scouting. I'll probably have a couple pics to post, hopefully of some birds.

Saw a lot of chasin' and Strutin' going on yesterday around here  ! Bob

[tattoo dave]

I figured that would be happen soon Bob. I saw 3 birds today, a bunch of deer, a bobcat, and a bald eagle. Not all at the campground, but it was a good morning to be in the woods. It was cold, 16 degrees, but it was good!

Really surprised you don't have more takers on the turkey 🦃 camp Dave. Sure wish I could be there. They still seem to be in the big flocks here.

Bjrogg, I wasn't expecting a bunch of folks. This is the first year I've tried it. I went to JW's turkey camp last year in South Dakota and it was so much fun, when he cancelled for this year I thought I'd try here. Even if it's only 2 or 3 this year, it'll be a good time!

Dave I'm sure it'll be great time wish I could be one of the 2 or 3.

It isn't a game of how many can be there, but the quality of those that come.  Having Dave in camp was fun.  Poor bugger was a little worried for his safety and wellbeing at first.  And there are still some things that we will never speak of again....

 

And since things have been pushed back in the matter of taking that job in AZ, I am holding a camp this year, too.  Albeit a bit smaller and more compact.

Maybe some day you can host me in your camp!

I couldn't agree more John! It's not about the numbers. It was a great time, what happens in the black hills stays in the hills.

I'd love to see you make it to the Great Lakes state John! Chase a few eastern farmland birds  . Maybe someday.

Not a great pic, but I was in the truck and it's the best pic I could get. It's getting close!

There's a couple birds in this group at full strut. Can't wait for May!

Yup Dave I could see them strutting this past Sunday here to. Good Luck and have a really good time
