these were taken through the Swaro 30-70-95 spotting scope these first two were at over 2 miles. these were at a mile plus

Isn't that the only reason you are going to be there? with my optics it will be hard to tell thats for sure. You're not the only one giving me a hard time Dave, you don't know how many times I've checked and rechecked my bank account for the $300 hit after one of you said it was a charging error from the GnF, especially since my account was also hit for $345 for a resident and non-resident coues tag so far the $300 charge is still there and yes I will check again when I get done posting here. Thanks all I will keep you updated on my scouting and hunt.

after the 4th Belvedere martini (straight up two olives shaken not stirred) I'm feeling dang good thank you.

congrats on your draw which tag would you prefer Desert or Rocky?

congrats know how it feels and am enjoying it too.

no but I'm feeling like it right now.

too late you already sold the winning card.

darn hot up here in Pinetop 92 but 74 inside without air-conditioning soI'm not paying the power companies $300+ a month to keep it there.

this picture was taken a couple of days ago, this is the scene at Show Low Lake just outside my office at this current time. There are two CH-47's and a Sikorsky coming in for water.

Nice bird and nice fan mount.

since you asked I won these back in 2014 only put in $20 at the last minute it was the first time I had ever put in for a Sworo optic and I have many $$$ to go to catch up.

agreed BB I have two of the 28ga Beretta 686 S/P great quail gun. I'll be turkey hunting with one next season when my chokes get made.

great looking birds congrats on a successful hunt.

Good choice on a place to have your ashes spread, years ago I spread my brothers ashes in that area one of his favorite places before he passed. I will agree with your assessment on the Black River area granted the Wallow fire has a lot to do with the problems and scenery of the area, I have to wonder if the new paved road all the way to Alpine has given more access to the area causing the congestion and trash.

I've asked my kids/grandkids to reload my ashes with shotgun shot so I can continue hunting turkey, upland birds etc….

nice Gould's congrats.

Thank you, have not had it scored but yes that would be my guess.

congrats on your bird and the birth of your newest future turkey hunter.

That's the beauty of rifle antelope hunting. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. Drive around. Glass, find one that looks good and blast him. yep just like bc777 said "like shooting fish in a barrel". there are some nice goats in 4B, I took this one out of there last year.

congrats to your wife. great looking bird what are the stats? looks like a nice paintbrush beard.

In Lovett William's book "Hunting the Gould's Wild Turkey in Mexico" he talks about hunting the Gould's in the Sierra Madre's as early as first part of April into mid-May, but the peak is late April to early May. He also goes on to say in Arizona and New Mexico they will gobble into mid-June. I have helped and hunted several Gould"s here in Arizona and have to say the peak here is right around the same as down in Mexico. Personally the later I hunt the better the hens are usually laying on their eggs and the bigger, older more mature Tom's are much easier to call in.

well done congrats on some fine birds

only if your done calling to them.

Bigfoot is real this picture proves it, I added the bait.
