X2 on the yell or whistle

Anything that is mechanical will not work 100% of time. But that being said they definitely fly truer especially when breezy. Give and take. Use what your confident with. The only thing that I have seen people say is that with the speed of crossbows some cheaper mechanicals have a tendency to no open on contact

Trip of a lifetime there. Smile says it all

They were moving this morning. Was dodging them in the road all the way to work. Wishing I was out there.

I agree with both sides on this. I am land owner and the taxes are ridiculous. What I don't agree is a place like this, I know the place and from the area, is places like this whine for damage permits but are practically close to the public while Joe blow who has 30 acres next door gets denied a doe permit. I know it's kinda a different topic but yes the system is broke and they wonder why license sales keep dropping

My glass of beer is empty lol. Nice job battlehammer. Keep on fishing

Dang it's head is 3/4 of it's mass

Turkey population has many factors going against it. I have even noticed two turkey that I have harvested in the last 5 years had a form of tape worm. Dec said they can pick them up feeding in fields that farmers spread manure in.

As a turkey Hunter I disagree . They need a longer trapping season , because u are not that successful in a short season u have already. I manage my own land ......

I agree season is to short the season is also at the worst possible time. Trapping organizations tried having the season moved to December. But the Dec felt that more trappers would partake in October.

I've heard much about fisher killing turkeys. I have never seen that but I have seen birds of prey take out turkey poults. These animals are native to the area and serve a place in the eco system. I do not doubt that a fisher might take a turkey once in a while but I can tell you last year we saw fisher almost every weekend and they were hunting mice in the field. A much bigger issue with turkey population is the destruction of eggs and nest by things like skunks, raccoons and opossum . I have been a trapper for over 40 years and have watched the fur prices go to almost nothing but I still get out and do it. I set some traps for fisher this fall during the very short season but was not successful. I have heard people brag about shooting fisher during turkey season. Since they do not have a hunting season for fisher I'm sure the fines would be high. Is it worth losing your outdoor privilege to kill a member of the weasel family. The muskrat population is almost zero near my house because of all the bald eagles. Does that mean I should shoot the eagles to improve my muskrat trapping! I think not! All things have a place in nature. This is not an exotic. Our ecosystem is always changing and we all must learn to deal with it. Its not always up to humans to control the critters that run in our back yards. If you want to lower the fisher population in your area and you live in the newly opened trapping area try your hand at trapping them and take a kid with you if you can find one that will put his or her phone down long enough to do so.  Wes   

We'll said 100%. As a trapper I couldn't agree more

Some older muzzleloaders we're not designed for "magnum"loads of 150grains. Just double check manufacturer recommendations. I agree 150 is the way to go.

Have had good luck with Norway spruce

Each area is a little different. Genetics and food/minerals they get can make a 2.5yo in one area look like a 3.5 in a different area. Game Camera's have been a great tool in keeping tabs on deer and seeing their development
