Non-Typical Solutions

How does what should be a funny-encounter thread about a sloppy mess of unprepared wannabe turkey hunter, workin' his lazy road hunter tactical skills like a big dog (a true professional) unwind into this? Lordy Lordy - I don't know 270 and Nature Girl, but I can only imagine if their collective memories are being invoked. Nothing to gain. Time to holster the keyboard and walk away..... Once the handle on the flusher gets touched the swirl just continues downward!!! Glad you still got your turkey! We had an embarrassing encounter turkey hunting! Middle of the day we were headed from one turkey spot to another, there is a waterhole about 50 yards off the FS 300 and I stop and tell my grandson and son #3 to run up to the tank and look for turkey poop!!! All the sudden they come running back..........there was a blind with decoys off to the side that we didn't see when we pulled up. We threw the truck into drive and got out of there......I apologize to whoever that was we ran over your stand!!!!

If you recognize this waterhole and tree stand I am interested in touching base with you to make sure or try to make sure we don't run over each other during elk season! I realize the grilling I am going to get for even asking but somebody will maybe PM me and make sure we don't conflict!!! Thanks Lets pretend this stand stays up in the tree clear until the late bull hunt and after attempts to communicate with stand owner there is no response or dialogue. Can I sit in the stand for my hunt??? Or does that cross the line of ethics??? I really didn't want to use that word but........

Thanks to those of you who helped in the "twitter" voting!!! http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona-education/2017/04/26/snowflake-junior-high-samsung-contest-win/100955262/

Here is a whitetail jackalope compliments of tomgobbler!!!!

Dang....that just went to my Friday half day schedule for kids to watch!!! Thanks for sharing that is very "educational"......

she got drawn for the early bull hunt 2 years ago, I got drawn last year for the early hunt bull hunt and signed my tag over to her. and surprise surprise I got drawn this year again for the early bull hunt and will sign it over to her. I look at it this way I get go go hunting either way, Ive killed enough shoot in my life let the kids have fun. its not about killing its about having a good time with your kids. Win, win all the way around!!!

That is lit up.....dang!!!!

Third tag in three years....dang now that is some luck there!!!

Yeah the kids pretty resourceful she happened to see that video a while back of those elk with locked horns figure WTF she can do that too... Seriously I took her out turkey hunting for the morning and shed hunting. shes still pretty jazzed about it. Very cool you had her out hunting......great times and one she will remember forever!!!

That is what we call shed hunting with a shotgun!!!! Way cool find!!!

Man I wanna try that some time!!!!!

Nice bull and really cool mountains in that picture!!!

Honestly exactly how I felt this year......again!!!

During spring break a few weeks back we were out kicking in the hills and came across a well beaten path in a saddle! We haven't had cams out for quite some time and decided to try and get some pictures during the shedding season just for kicks. Not a scientific observation but certainly a fun few pictures. Time and date on the pictures are not correct! The masses passing through!! March 16 Antlerless!!! March 17 Poor collared bull!!! New growth, March 19 March 20 The same area with a cross shot of the same trail.....bad camera setting, hopefully got that fixed over the Easter weekend. I really enjoy getting pictures like this, the anticipation going in to retrieve pictures is always exciting. Always wondering, did I actually turn the camera on before I left a month ago?

We went up to Escudilla middle of March to see how far up we could go......huge tree across the road right close to the top/snowline......4 wheeler tracks bailing off the side to go around the uprooted tree base!!! Like said earlier.....if you are going to backroad the burn you better have a chainsaw!!!

Dammage this pisses me off.....hope you guys are having fun!!!

I could handle that style of New York!!! Note that culvert in the background, not a very big stream... Driving along the shore line of Lake Ontario, at the right time of year, every little trickle of water can have some bigazz trout/salmon running upstream to spawn, NY and Canada have released so many different strains into the system, there are only a few months out of the year that fish arent running somewere... (You can also get a handfull of Deer tags EVERY year(Bow(1any deer) Rifle (1buck with 2doe tags)Muzzleloader(1any deer)Landowner tags alotted for our land in Orange Co. NY (200'ish (any Deer, ALL year)... Guess I am gonna have to let my wife go visit NY afterall.......as long as she lets me we a line while we are there!!!

Clarkdale??? Wild guesss!!!

I could handle that style of New York!!!

Buck pedicure?????

My wife says, "How does he know that's a matched set?" Love her to death!!!! Cool finds!!!

I know this has been hashed over and over but is this stuff legal according to the regs? Legal for setting out for trail cams!
