GW

I hunted out there about this time last year. I was a little disappointed in the number of ducks, but we did have a couple of good mornings. Mostly mallards with a few pintails, gadwall, teal and woodies. I have been thinking maybe it's a little late in the season, but the group I go out there with haven't been able to get all our schedules together for an earlier hunt. I do enjoy hunting the green timber though!

I'm heading out to Arkansas tomorrow, east of Stuttgart. Anybody hunted the general area in the past week or so? Hoping for some good numbers!

I use Outdoor Connection Q/R™ Talon Swivels, $10 at Cabelas.

Danner Rain Forest 8" uninsulated

Sept 6 in Georgia, 15 bird limit. We may be dealing with a hurricane on opening day. Good luck to all!

They come to our calls in GA too. The yote population is exploding here.

Congrats on limiting out! Like Tucker said, show us some pics if you got em!

Nice bird, great hooks and I really like that second picture. Nicely done.

I have been using a Tom Teasers Hoochie Hen this season and here is my 2 cents: The call sounds great and is easy to run, it doesn't take alot of air to operate. Great on the basics - cluck, yelp and cut. A little too raspy for me to get a good purr out of, but it is a great dominant hen yelper. Plus you can do a pretty decent job with soft calling on this thing. The real down side is longevity. I have worn this thing out in about 5 weeks. Don't know if that is typical or not, but just my experience. On a side note, the problem I have found with mass produced calls is they tend to take a lot of air to operate and I have a difficult time getting softer calls out of them.

Congratulations on a great weekend!

Bartman- I've got some turkey ringtones. They are mp3's. They are made from actual recordings so there is some background noise - just natural woods sounds, birds chirping etc.. Would you like me to email you a couple?

Congrats, on a nice bird! Bet you are hooked now!

I run a Woodhaven Walnut Classic Slate and lately have been using a Tom Teasers Hoochie Hen 3.5 v-cut mouth call.

Bartman...congrats! There's nothing like that first bird! Nice picture, too. How do you like that vest? Those are nice.

Congrats! Another nice picture as well.

Same here.

Hold on, you asked the question, but you didn't tell us......What vest would you choose?

Mossy Oak Elite 3-d.

What repairs were made and/or parts were replaced on your SBE2?

Congrats! I got one opening morning in Georgia. Pretty nice bird, I left my camera and scale home so the only stats i've got are: beard 11", spurs 1". Good luck to everyone!!

That makes two of us!

March 22 in Georgia. I'm about to drive my wife crazy practicing my calls! I'm pretty well set, except I just ordered some 2 1/4 oz Hevi Shot that I want to give a try.

Access to quality hunting land.

Congrats on a couple of nice birds, and some nice photography work! I love that first picture.
