There's still hope!! Heard a bird this morning at 5:20 , gobbled 4-5 times heading away, nothing after that.

Just got back from checking out some turkey spots in 5A, I haven't heard a gobble since Thurs. May 3rd. Friday,Sat, and Sunday it was windy and I didn't go out, but have been out early everyday this week. It's been perfect conditions this week as far as little to no wind, you can hear it seems for a long ways....Nothing....I too would like to hear some opinions. My hunt starts again tomorrow.

Great pictures! Love your avatar!

Thanks for the comments, I'll pass them along to my neighbor. We are having a community meeting tonight about the burglaries, we'll see what the latest is.

We've had a lot of burglarys around Happy Jack over the winter. I was informed yesterday my neighbor is going to ask me about mounting trail cameras on his property to try to get a pic of the people. He was broke into twice in the last couple of months. My questions would be what type, brand,flash /no flash, etc. what about batteries? Hang it high so they can't get to it? The last breakin they took a ladder and cut out the vent to his garage and crawled in that way! Any ideas? I should have mentioned he thinks I know a lot about trail cameras since I own a couple, that's why I need Help!!

We have verizon up here, so far I haven't found a camera that emails pictures that works with verizon. AT&T doesn't work here. Anyone know of a brand compatable w/verizon?

I looked up the Tasco, walmart sells them, looks good. I am going to research the ones that email a picture, sounds like it might be the way to go, any info on brands?

Where's the music box? Looked all over and can't find it..

Tried both, I like the beige better.

I haven't changed anything and it looks pretty good!!

You sure you're not from Payson? By the way I do like the name!

No, simply put, if the road is not on the map it is closed. Only the roads indicated on the map are open.

Congrqats! Handful is an understatement! If I'm reading it right there are 4 total tags in that unit! What are the odds!!

Wow! You guys found the turkey honeyhole!

Congrats! I know over the last couple of weeks how excited you were to get to go, glad it turned out great!

Very nice pictures!

Very nice!

Spent the last morning of the first hunt trying to hear them in a howling wind. Did hear a gobble at about the time he was getting off the roost, never heard him again after that. Decided to make it a morning walking to a ridge that looked good on the map and was across the canyon that I knew had birds in. Parked at the "road closed sign" that is actually a barricade placed in the middle of the road, and walked in probably 1 1/4 miles to get to the ridge. There was as many tire tracks on that road as any of the open roads in the area. Good luck to the forest service keeping people off closed roads that don't say closed, they haven't done anything in years with the already closed roads!!

Nice sheds, pics are coming out small. Someone on here should be able to tell you how to make them bigger. Or go to the forum help section and search it. At least they are small to me maybe other people aren't having that problem...

good luck to you!!

Congrats on your bird! Good advice, went to a new area this morning and never heard a bird! Back to the area I've been hearing them tomorrow, see what happens.

Copngrats on the bird and thanks for the tip.

Congrats !! Great bird!

Great looking bucks! Congrats, nice mounts!

You should have another tag hold sitting quietly on the opposite side of the tree! It seems that once the are roosted with hens it is tougher to get them to come in to the call off the roost. From what I've been told we are asking them to do something that is opposite then what traditionally happens in nature by asking the Tom come to the hen call. It's usually the hen that comes to the Tom. Pretty windy this evening so decided to give it a break. Thanks for the tips! Will give that a try "Little Creek". I've been told I should just stay put and the tom will come looking for me once he has his hens feeding/laying eggs or whatever. What's your thoughts on that?
