They used to be extremely rare around here too but now I see them fairly regular. Last turkey season I would see 2 adults and 2 juvys nearly every time I went hunting. One day I hit my box call from on top of a hill and both the adults flew over and circled me a time or 2 then left. Then it remembered I had not seen any turkeys in the fields so far that season. Will a Eagle take down a turkey?

Does gobbler crap look like a cigarette butt?

Furthermore, does said gobbler crap in the woods?

I FINALLY got the sinew on some heartwood yew billets hippy gave me at pappys place last spring. Took me a good while to talk me into getting it started. But its done now. The humidity is 23-25% up here. Those are turbo curing numbers.

Wrapped up deer season yesterday, didn't see any deer Saturday and was about to give up at 11:00 Sunday morning when I heard running and grunting. A doe ran straight at me around a ridge with two bucks on her tail, I was checking out the bucks as they ran past to see if they were Mgt area legal( they weren't, had to have three points on a side) and thought all three deer ran just below the logging road I was on and down into the hollow.

I looked back the way the doe had run and there she was, looking at me from 10 yds away. I raised my flinter to "pick a spot" and saw she had stopped behind an old blow down that couldn't have covered her vitals any more perfectly. One more step and I would have had her but she whorled and was gone in a flash.

Not shooting her was probably a good thing, I had hiked back to "the land that time forgot" and would have had a tough time getting her out. Having the encounter was a good way to end the season.

Nice ending Eric... I didn't shoot a deer once than looked how bad it looked getting her out... Easier to carry a bar-b-que down and eater there...

Got my plug done on my powder horn... Lttle more polishing she be ready for a strap.... Leaving the deep range marks in..
Thanks Leroy

This was from yesterday but I couldn't post it last night.   I found a small deer killed on our frozen pond.  I'm guessing they got it on the ice and it couldn't get enough footing to get away.  There were coyote tracks all around the pond.  There was one set of tracks that was a lot bigger than the rest.  The only thing they left was the stomach contents, some hide and leg bones.  I walked out and drug the hide and bones off the ice.

Great looking horn Leroy!

The friend who started me on my flintlock journey gave me all his gear when he was diagnosed with terminal cancer, here are his horns;

I went for a walk. Snowed a trace here in Yosemite Valley. About 6 inches higher up.
