How many people got there turkey permits, and where do you guys hunt?

I applied for mine today (finally remembered). There aren't that many turkey around my house though. I couldn't find any good pictures, but there is a flock that hangs out in the back yard that is about 60 strong.

So this year I'm going to try with my black widow recurve out of my double bull ground blind. I chose the guarantee hunt because it is a longer hunt than the others.

 

just mention hunting and maveans will appear. ^^;

 

I bought mine over the counter for hunt 0234. ALOT of turkeys here in Menominee County. My brother and I lease 160 acres about 10 miles north of my house and there are quite a few turkeys running around there. Used to have a couple of flocks around the house but they disappeared over the years. Guess they got tired of getting shot at.

 

I took a throw at one with my bow. Was a big longer shot then I'm used too with a braudhead. It went right below his breasts between there and his feet, he just looked and went back to pecking and scratching. I was so pissed I had only brought one aarow out. heh.

The tom's left the flock and I havn't seen the hens and chicks since. So who knows where they are at.

On the way to school there are a couple 30+ flocks i see every now and then. Tring to get pictures of them.

I took some pictures of some Pats in my back yard the other day. I have 3 of them that are comming to visit.

I havn't seen the pilated woodpecker in a while. I got some crappy pictures of him with an old camera.

 

doing 0234 again myself this year.

 

do not have time for it this year. new shop is taking all my time and money.

 

What are some of the services you will offer at your new shop,

Might have to take a drive and check it out.

Sorry Toyman for the hijack.

 

Not a hijack, I like the other conversations that happen during a thread.

Hopefully I can get time to hunt this spring, I wanted to make sure I had my permit if the time is there.

I am curious about the new shop also, fill us in.

must go., the roof needs fixed, must paint,clean,restrooms need up dates. we are looking at about 6-8 weeks I will post open dates when ready.

 

Maybe we will have to have an FTE get together at tims new shop.
