Cool! That is a lot of sharp eyeballs.

These pics remind me that this is the time of year that The Ferret starts posting turkey pics from the backyard. You still out there Ferret?

Awesome pics hopefully they were taken around the area I am going hunting this spring. I plan to be on Henry Higgens the 3rd week of April if all plans stay in order.

Weekender ... your birds have it easy, and I am happy for them. Green grass! Mine are wallowing through 4' of powder snow right now. It's pitiful to watch. Generally, they wind up flying, as every step goes belly deep. No way can they be getting enough calories to replace their energy loss in a hard mountain winter like this. Even just sitting in a tree all day and night, with night temps averaging 0 and days rarely above freezing and often strong winds, has to be a serious stress. How often here on a long winter's night (8000' in the CO Rockies), while sitting in a cozy wood-warmed cabin with a frozen wind howling outside, I think with wonder and admiration of the amazing hardiness of turkeys, elk, deer, and all the others "out there." How they survive and even prosper, where we would perish in hours, is beyond amazing. My admiration for these animals is endless, and thus my lack of patience with the fools among us who look at the animals we hunt as nothing more significant than "harvested" crops and moving targets. Lucky turkeys you have there! dave

Hey Mrs Stickman, no fair!!!   I'll have to glue a brick to my gas pedal shoe so if I fall asleep driving down I will keep on going (redneck autopilot).
Just checked out you web-site, those caps are a hoot. May have to pick one up after I'm done paying for a couple Turkey calls I had to have.

Buck- looks like there is more than enough to share!  I do see how Turkey calls would come before hats though.  I know it's wrong but thats how I'm made!   :thumbsup:
