I use the same spit patch procedure and it works great for me. If I shoot my CVA on a clean barrel the first shot is always quite a ways off. Not sure it was ever a foot off though. I run BH209 and Barnes or THOR (for out west, made by Barnes) bullets.

I gotta be honest, that deer creeps me out a little!

Gambler Looks like you need to get the doe to drop in a shooting lane next time. I had a small buck keep stepping on a dead doe several years ago. He didn’t really beat on her. He was more like “wake up, I’m ready!”

I love it. The walleye bite was the best I have ever seen Friday morning. I should have brought my shotgun too. I passed 3 flocks of geese on the way back in.

Anybody seeing poults? It looks like the chances of rain is going to increase. Hopefully they are big enough that it won’t bother the hatch.

The river is loaded with em. I would not feel bad! Nice catch!

That is awesome! This part of the season can be great. If you can find a Tom there is a better chance that they are alone and callable.

Beautiful bird. Congrats!

Congrats! Jakes taste better anyway! Thanks to you I now skin out the entire bird and keep every bit of meat. Lately I have been cooking down the legs/wings/neck and then making a smoked Turkey chili. It is awesome.

Awfully quiet here? Is nobody turkey hunting? I tagged my second bird on Sunday in the finger lakes. This one was silent with a hen and I happened to walk up on them and see them before they saw me. I was able to crawl to a tree and she brought him right by me at 20 yards about 30 minutes later.

Jakes are more tender anyway! Hopefully we will have another dry late May and June so we have another good hatch.

Those are some nice hooks!

This bird walked the same stretch 3 days in a row. He would sort of shadow the flock 100 yards away. Finally I got set up in the right spot this morning. I never made a call.
