27 days for me...can't wait to hear the stories!

Giv'em Hades guys...and a couple of broadhead tipped arrows  

Holy moly!!!

Turkey hunters run over by coyotes and two delewarians saw and stalked 25 hogs Friday. Another hunter shoots at a nice hog but got a deflection- I am expecting some dead stuff this weekend!

More later

25 stalks in one day would slam wear me out. Hope they recovered a few. DB

Bring on the reports!!  

Not one shot- what can I say? Amateurs!!!    

Ahem, you might want to correct that Ray.  

But yes, I did not take one shot.  I did, however, have pigs at 12 yards, 15 yards, and 20 feet.  The one laying down at 20 feet, facing me was awfully tempting.  Too bad most of his body was in a hole.  Just putting the stalk on the group with Phil was worth the trip.  When all ten of them busted out of there, you couldn't have beat the smiles off our faces.

Once again it was an absolute blast.   I hunted hard and left it all in the woods.  More later.......

Kyle are you home already? Wow that was fast!

Cory and mike got into about 20 this morning but no shots either- some at five and six yards!!!

Smartphone.....

Good guys for sure.  Amazing how you can be so close and not get a shot.  That's what I love about it.....opportunity is there.

I HATE TURKEYS !

Dang, we got another 8 hours drive.
Amateurs? Misfire says we're only in WV, we can turn around and come thump ya. ;-)

BTW, whoever gets Mike T's bow in the bow swap is in for a treat.  I got to see three of them.  Incredible talent.

It was the wierdest weekend I can remember.

There were absolutely tons of hogs spotted but no one was able to connect successfuly...brush, trees, wrong angle, just a host of stuff.

It's turkey season, so there's no corn spread out- this is all wild and wooly spot and stalk...

I actually saw the biggest live pig I've ever seen on the place in over 30 years- and he's still alive! What a brute.

Everything else I ran into had little squeakers with them...so we're going to have some nice herd increases going forward the next 12 months!!!

The turkeys are going wild!!

Dennis Allman has some more 'splaining to do' about a feathery nemesis.

Thought I would check in, before unpacking and working up this bird; what do I find--my name mentioned. Can not tell the story, was not a "bow kill". What I can say, I have been to Ray's HH twice over the past three weeks, and have taken two gobblers. Ray and Mike both know their turkeys, and were a great help. I was blessed on both hunt, since I have some serious knee problems, and can not do the run and gun type hunting.

I have not seen a hog/pig yet, I am not really sure there is any there--ha ha. That will change in the future, will have to return some time when turkey season is not open.

Enjoyed meeting you guys from MA, DE, OH; hope everyone has made it home safe.

Ray, Mike--Thanks for a Great Hunt.

Dennis

Congrats sir.  When I got back Sunday morning I told everyone you got your bird.  I knew just cause I heard the boom.......

I feel your pain Mike, but ya know, turkeys need love too!!!!

The 10 that Kyle and I got into was a wet sow and her little ones, (had one tag along) so not really a shot opportunity.  Great fun was had by all (even Mike, though he won't admit it, turkey's got his goat).  Gorgeous scenery, lots of wildlife.  To quote that famous actor turned governor, "I'll be bahk!!"

Had a GREAT time! Even if the wife was a little upset I didn't bring home any "armadillos" for her. Maybe I'll just have to take her so she can try to get her own. I told her I was after hogs not armadillo pics. lol It amazed me that you could get soooo close to the hogs and not be able to find an opening for a shot. It was nice meeting everyone and Ray don't worry if I come back my hat won't be coming with me! I'll find one that's a different color!  

TURKEYS ! AARRGGHH ! Quoting my friend Biggie : they deserve a face full of #6's , and that's what they are gonna get !
