Gil, the high water will only make it tougher as the season goes along. We had a big rain from Saturday night into Tuesday that didn't help. So far I've been lucky to guess right when choosing where to go. I will be going back and forth between two lakes this season. Spending many years walking both of them and being familiar with slight changes in elevations at different areas is the only reason I've been successful so far.

I hunted an area yesterday that is about as boggy as anywhere I've hunted. It was the second time I hunted it this year and both times it wore me slap out. I think I will be spending the rest of this season in a couple of places that are a little easier on my aging body.

Hi all, well we filled all of our deer tags (Will got his yesterday), so....now we can pursue our first love, bird hunting! Went out today for a couple hours and we did well, I was able to limit and get a hun and Will got 2 and a hun. Raina worked well today, her pointing is getting much stronger and I can say that we've not lost a wounded bird yet, thanks to her. She chased one today across a wider creek and was able to pin him down. Very happy with her.

Anyway, I used my 12b J. Blanch & Sons (with those evil damascus bbls!):



The days bag with Raina (Will didn't want to be in any pics today):



Best!

I was going to comment on that gun also. I have a Birmingham boxlock very much like it only with a scolloped action with a bit more engraving coverage. It is an extractor gun with a Greener-type crossbolt. Mine has Birmingham proofs, but the only other markings on it are the name A. Mathers, Dundee. It was re-stocked by a stockmaker in Canada before I acquired it and he put flutes in the comb.

laugh These two turkeys were flock mates....years back I killed a reddish looking hen have saw a couple of silver phase hens, another white hen and one with a black patch on her wing, my buddy killed a speckled looking gobbler in that area and I've saw one all white wild gobbler in South Carolina.

Freaks of nature are out there....this boards living proof of it.

Frank, how old is Buster? Getting a little grey beard on him. Is that a leash on the tree?

He'll be 12 this next spring...Over 200 hundred fall turkeys have been killed over him. I leash him to a tree after the break or flush he doesn't need a blind or a bag.
