If I find the right places to hunt, I would bike again, but I'd buy a suspension mountain bike. Amazing what they do with bikes today. But then they cost more that really nice guns...

My M500 Cannondale was made between 1993-1999. I bought it used 10 years ago for turkey hunting and have used it also on snipe where the fields are up to a mile and a half from the parking lot. No shock absorbers other than me. Gil

I guess you guys quit hunting turkeys this year, but I didn't.

Got this one this afternoon.

Nice bird Brent. Turkey season just opened here two days ago. Its snowing this morning. And the season runs through to the end of May. Time yet.

My weekend is taken up with a course and exams to qualify for purchasing a hand gun and/or other restricted weapons. A costly reminder that we have no gun or property rights in Canada, only privileges. BTW if I say I want a hand gun for self defence, that will automatically disqualify me from getting my licence.

Brent, granddad's gun lives another season! Good going. Geo, John scored a nice one. Still going here. According to a biologist, we lost a lot of young birds due to the past two hurricanes. Folks who normally do well are having a time just hearing one. Two and half more weeks....Gil

["Two and half more weeks"....Gil]

I got to get crackin'. I slacked off after taking a week fishing in the Everglades. However, I guess I've reached the age where it is OK to live vicariously through the successes of my children...Geo

In dressing the bird, I found a couple pieces of shot. No big deal but I was shooting Remington #6 copper plated, and the first piece I found was decidedly smaller and w/o copper.

The copper plate measures about 0.118" which is a bit large for #6 but maybe plated shot runs larger than unplated.

The unplated piece measures about 0.110". There were a few other wounds in the bird, at least two were feather inclusions in the breast that may have been pulled in there by shot, but no shot was found in them. They were partly healed.

In any event, it looks like someone tried but failed to kill him earlier this year, but he came in pretty strong and acting totally normal.

I haven't been posting pictures this year, but I've had a good turkey season so far, getting limits in AL and GA. The little Yildiz 20 gauge continues to work well with TSS#9. This was my last AL bird and had one of the thickest beards I've seen. Good luck to all still turkey hunting.
