Just wanted to wish everyone a happy Easter. God bless. DLO

I worked at the University of Iowa Hospitals as a Respiratory Therapist from '92-'02. I married a physician, quit working and took an (really)early retirement. I'm now a full-time dad/bowhunter .

I copied this from another site, It was submitted from the wife of a New Zealand based Outfitter: BASIC TECHNIQUE FOR BRINING A TURKEY: Wash the bird, inside and out, in cool running water. Combine 2/3 to 1cup salt (or more, depending on recipe) with 1 gallon of water and stir until salt...

I got quite a few PM's asking my how I had the camera set when I took the last pic. I had it on AUTO!!! I looked up the data the camera uploaded with the pic, here it is if you want to set your SLR to do the same: Fly-up picture data: Nikon D70 2005/01/16 16:29:03.2 JPEG (8-bit) Fine Image...

Thanks for all the kudos everyone.... I'm not the reason the pictures turned out the way they did... it's the camera and lenses I spent $2200.00 on.. not my personal artistic prowess, or for that matter, my understanding of the technical idiosyncrasies of an SLR Digital Camera. To be frank, I...

If your out with a camera that has a telephoto lens... make sure you at least have something to rest the camera on. It's just like a rifle scope, The higher the magnification, the more it pics up movement. I took both of those pics off the top of a walking stick....I'm too broke after the...

I noticed you guys liked the pictures Like I said, I always take the camera with me when I go out to my ground. I figured I'd post a few more: This one was of a hen group. The road you see them walking on was worn by my truck. It's the ridge I drive on to get to my "glassing" place. ( ask...

Hey Kat... It's a Nikon D-70. Heres the pic I was talking about earlier. He thinks he's being sneaky!!

Buckhunter, You'll never go back to gun hunting once you take one with a bow.... It's awesome, I promise you! Good luck man! In the pic, you can see the bird with his back to you, the darker tom. His beard was dragging on the ground, I started snapping pictures to get a one of him, but...

I always take my camera when I go out to our property. I was on the way to my pistol range last Thursday and caught these guys milling around ( I had the 70-300 telephoto lens on , I was about 80 yards away at the time)

How was you hunt for the Ocellated Turkey??? I've heard there are no real calling techniques as of yet. Good luck on your World Slam...I'm truely envious.

I saw a pretty massive bachelor group yesterday when I took the handguns out to my range. There were 22 longbeards that I was able to count.

I'd have to agree with Muddy.... I'd go with a custom stick-bow.

$1000.00 wouldn't be enough for me to buy a Hi-Tec Gyro-Tec.....

I've been thinking about this for a long time...What a great goal: to harvest all the turkey species living here in the US. I'm seriously thinking of making it one of those "must do before I die" things. Any of you guys achieved it? If not, how close are you?

Here's the second call I made with the other wing. Instead if inlaying a piece of a real feather, I drew a tail feather this time. It's turning into a fun little hobby! The J-RW 002 is just a way for me to know what the call was made from ( Jake, Right Wing) and the number is...

Hey Limb... have you tried the flock set-up in the fall? I bet it would work great! ( kinda makes me want to go get more decoys) PA, you're right about posture....too many hens looking alert can be a warning to other birds for sure. I always made sure if I had multiple hens in the spread...

I've had a lot of luck facing the decoys twards the blind. Toms love eye contact with the hens they are with...facing the deeks twards the bling pulls the tom in front of the hen, facing away from you Jakes in the mix is a great idea if you know you have a dominant bird coming in. Jake...

.......a little skill with a call and a feather flex blowin' in the wind is all a guy needs. I don't mind guys using anything that will work for them. I personally had the best luck just keeping it simple.

Thanks a lot Blake and PA. PA, I bet the combo of bones he was describing in the article was a hen radius and a gobbler ulna and humerus. The small radius from a hen, has a smaller lumen than that of a tom....making it way easier to blow. The second two bones in the call- from the tom- are...
