I need to finish up my hunt...the afternoon of the second day I was in the barn yard blind.  I saw two gobblers walking a fence line that would bring them in front of me at 20 yards.  As luck would have it this time everything fell into place.  I picked the gobbler closest.  He ran off with the arrow in solid but I lost sight of him in the cedars.  He turned out to be a 3 year old bird with real nice spurs & mostly Merriam!  

I've been lucky to take a lot a great game animals and hunt with a lot of fine friends...but this hunt tops them all being with old & new friends especially my son Zach.

As a side note...
This is the first time I've ever harvested an animal with a recurve as I'm almost exclusively a longbow shooter.  Plus I have these two gobblers on video from the previous day...tippit

I have to say hunting with Jeff is a hoot. While cleaning my gobbler I decided I would take out the heart and fry it for lunch. I knew I had made a good lung hit on the bird because when I picked him up lots of thick lung matter came from his mouth. I was showing everyone the hit and we were talking about whether it was a heart shot or not. I removed the heart and was holding it in my hand completely in working order. When Jeff looks over my shoulder and says " huh, you missed!"  :biglaugh:  Funny guy that Tippet!
Yes Terry seemed to he plenty for seed. As Mike and I left the valley I had hunted for 2 days had a huge gobbler strutting in the exact spot I had been setting up.

When Tippit opened the poundcake from Ms Delaney he said it was only for those who had two snickers...Zach and I were in the short line  :)  

I can't wait to next year. One week left here in Il and a couple of tags burning a hole in my pocket!!!

9 snickers and a pound cake! AWESOME!

Hey Jeff, did you ever get that antler lamp fixed up? I felt horrible when I learned that it had gotten messed up in shipping (after what happened at the UPS store here, I almost think they jacked it up on purpose!). I hope you got it fixed up good.

Bisch,
Gluing the antler lamp back together was easier than handling out knife.  I had a great conversation with the fellow that made the lamp and thanked him for his contribution.

Mike,
I think I amended my comment on the pound cake...that I'd let the guys with only one bird have a piece on credit  :)

That pic of the Springer Boys with Nick is the stuff!  Soooooooo wish I could have been there to take THAT pic.     :thumbsup:

wapiti792

Haha that is right tippit! I appreciate the good credit...wonder if I could trade in a KY or IL bird as collateral    :saywhat:  

Julian, we got some plans to make brudda. You're right that pick of Zach, Jeff and Nick is what dreams are made of    :campfire:

Ok so we know the tally...almost everyone has chimed in. I imagine Zach is killing it on the forge and welder right now as he has a massive project.

I got to play chef for the week. Jeff and Zach were kind enough to pick up all my stuff via a shopping list...couple of guys who self admittingly hate to shop. I supplied the protein and had the menu planned. I love to cook and enjoyed putting together our dinners. If I am in camp, hunger is not an issue. Appreciate the fellas putting up with my late evening dinners and were gentlemen when it came to waiting on my meals. So after 5 snickers were gone (first day) we had a little etouffee. I channeled my inner Kip Manual...even though it will never be as good as his  :)  I also made some turkey legs, braised. See above pic.

*Shrimp, sausage

The rest of the week was wood hog meatballs and spaghetti, and a wild turkey sauce picante on the final night.

Food in a camp like this harkens me back to what deer camps were like as a kid. Seeing the guys gathered around eating my food and telling stories of the days hunt will forever be burned into the pictures of this hunt long after. Congrats to all the guys on their birds...and for the two of us with one Snickers (me, Zach) wait until next year    :campfire:
