MOFOWLER Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 mudhen: What part of Missouri were you hunting in? It's been tough here in SW MO. Get to go back home to west central MO saturday, so my luck might change. Quote
mudhen Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 SW Missouri. It was red hot where we were. All henned up, but you just had to wait them out. The runners & gunners did poorly Fat arses that held their ground or moved sparingly through the woods did better My arse fits in the latter category... mudhen - CA Quote

Saturday i have the whole day and i'm on my home turf so hopefully it will be better. Quote
john h Posted May 5, 2006 Posted May 5, 2006 Greetings from another Mo. turkey hunter, just north of Troy in kinda north central Mo. They were hot and bothered to say the least. LOTS OF RAIN!! Henned up but workable. Knocked down a 20# jake about 10:30 Sun. after 3 hard morns. I'll try to get a picture on after I get it off my buddies camera. If you couldn't get em' off the roost, it was a long wait, good luck guy's I'm going to do the family thing this weekend. John Quote
tucker301 Posted May 5, 2006 Author Posted May 5, 2006 OK. Well, I don't know why I look like a dorky 12 yr. old Dorf in this, but here's a picture of the bird we got today. My buddy Tommy on the gun and me on the call He wasn't huge, we didn't weigh, and didn't measure the beard or the spurs. PS: Duplin Blackberry Wine is great! Quote
tucker301 Posted May 6, 2006 Author Posted May 6, 2006 Until I saw this, I hadn't realized how much weight I've lost since the surgery. As for you, kid... Proper English is important, so it would actually be "I'm bigger than he". The way you test it is simple. I'm bigger. He's bigger. Him's bigger. See how it works out? Furthermore, size wouldn't deter me one bit from swatting you like a bug Quote

tucker301 Posted May 9, 2006 Author Posted May 9, 2006 Considering I'm 46, and have been through Hellnback in the last year, I thought I looked pretty good. /just need some legs now Quote
sdkidaho Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 He pulled the sympathy card! Ok, ok, you look pretty good for 46 year old "guy". I mean, I'm not going to say you're hot or anything since I don't swing that way, but you know what I mean. Mel Gibson has "nothing" on you! But mostly because he probably doesn't have an SBE II [ 05-11-2006, 12:24 PM: Message edited by: sdkidaho ] Quote

jghoffman12 Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 here's my season thanks to my nova. top bird was 23#, 10.25" beard and 1" spurs Quote
69beers Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 I made the first mount, and the second was done professionally. Unique to say the least. Quote
tucker301 Posted September 26, 2006 Author Posted September 26, 2006 The first one is cool. The second one looks like it's from a horror movie or something. Quote
sdkidaho Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 The second one, did they bronze the head and feet? Definitely unique. Not something I would do, but definitely unique. I like the first one - very nice looking. Hope to bag a turkey some day myself. Quote
69beers Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 Well, sort of. They were actually brassed. I shipped him the whole head, legs, tail, and beard. He puts the head in with dermestid beetles and then metallizes them with you choice of bronze, brass, copper, nickle silver, or pewter. Skull Metallizing Quote
M2 Field Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 They BOTH look great. Congratulations on your trophies. [ 09-30-2006, 05:05 PM: Message edited by: M2 Field ] Quote
