Thanks all ....

It was real cool to get some before and after pictures ! ... Now if I could just figure out how to post a small video clip , the thread would be complete !

PS : Another bonus of todays hunt , was Pyd treating my wife and I to breakfast at the local truck stop ... that was well recieved after a morning out in that drizzle and wicked wind !

It was a fun hunt! It's too bad there wasn't a bit more video though.. Between holding the blind down with our feet, watching the ever elusive Coyote/deer/turkey hybrids crossing the field and the fact that the bird only had one foot in the field when it met it's demise, there wasn't a lot of time for fancy camera work.
It is great, as always, to have R.J. beside you for the trophy shots, you always know they are going to be good ones!

Love those stories with the happy endings! :D

Congrats on the awesome hunt! Pyd's smile says it all. :D :D :D

Gotta say I never get tired of seeing your photos, R.J.! Especially those strutting toms - gets my heart rate up every time!

Excellent pics RJ. Love them turkey pics, one quick question if I may, what the diff between a Tom and Jake?

A Tom is an adult male bird and a jake is a 1 to 1 1/2 yr old
