Things you don't see in Ky... But you might in Florida

Destructo, I didn't get lost ::) I just took the long way around and didn't make it to the gate on time. It was all fun anyway. ;D
What turkeys Eddie? There's no turkeys around there... ::) Oh! You mean the one I missed with that gun of yours. ;) I think the barrels crooked on it. You need to take it to a gunsmith and get it checked out.

Nice pics. That was better than Nat. Geo.
mullet:
That ol' Winchester is kinda wore out. There was always the 10 gauge, or Beretta. I think what we needed was less cold front and wind.
FlintWalker:
Oh well...Sometimes you get 'em, sometimes you don't. I have to say. That was about as much fun as I've ever had trying though.
I WILL KILL AN OSCEOLA someday. Just not this year. :)

One thing I have to say, is Shannon is one hell of a hunter. He hunted his butt off in 80 degree weather in something he wasn't used to. This kind of enviroment can be a shock for people that are used to seeing a hill for a landmark. Down here you have to memorize the horizon outline of trees so you can navigate in the dark or find your way back to camp in the daytime. These turkeys don't gather in the same field everyday or gobble all the time. You have to hunt for them or just sit and call. Most of the time they are o the move looking for hens, and these boys have been after them since late December. Some hens have Polt's right now.
We had some birds coming from over a mile away, and they might gobble and let you know, that it would take two hours if they weren't distracted. And Osceolas' have no problem about diving off or coming out of that thick palmetto, or wading water , unlike Easterns.
When he comes back next year, I have no doubt Shannon will get one, heck, I might have a "Bessie" for him. ;)
