Congratulations, two fine looking birds. What was the weights?

Good going. I have yet to go Turkey hunting. I do plan on it in the near future.

Thanks, dunno how much they weighed, didn't weigh em. The merriam's toms weigh around 18-20lbs, jakes about 12lbs. But I'll tell ya, the jake felt like it weighed 40lbs by the time I got out of the canyon I was down in!!

Great job, Tim.

I called in three in a group last Saturday. I had my 7 yr old boy with me, he was shaking like a leaf, especially when i made them gobble. I was having too much fun to shoot when i should have. instead, i tried a longer shot and missed (was aiming big, so i missed big...)

the boy's reaction was worth the whole hunt...

I've been huntin turkey for 12yrs, still get shakey and excited when a tom is coming in, or even if I just hear one gobble!! It's a good thing shotguns have heavy triggers, or I'd probably set the gun off before I was ready!!

Washington. Can shoot 2 merriams and one rio or eastern, or one of each for a Washington Slam.

Thanks,

Tim

Just curious. Is there any state that allows turkey hunting with a rifle?

quickdtoo · « **Reply #15 on:** April 21, 2007, 06:49:30 AM »

Yup, but Washington ain't one of em.

Tim

Jal5 · « **Reply #16 on:** April 21, 2007, 10:35:45 AM »

that is amazing you can do the slam and never leave your own state! I would like that.
Good luck next week, we start here on Monday.

Pa but only in the fall season and some wmu's are still restricted to shotgun/Bow in more populated areas

borg1 · « **Reply #18 on:** April 21, 2007, 06:37:03 PM »

Virginia allows rifles...

Nice bird Tim !

What did you take him with ?

I'm going to follow your your cooking advice to the letter on my next one....The breast on the first one was excellent though.

Thanks Eric, I'm shooting a Mossberg 835 and #6 Rem Hevi-shot thru a MAD Super Max tube. I cooked the breast the usual way, the rest of the bird was prepared using the recipe for Gumbo in the latest Turkey Call magazine, it was delicious, the wife even liked it!!
