good luck to ya. hope you get a nice buzzard.
how many hunters get a season that lasts the whole season and not just 5 days,like here in mn.
our season is a total of 8 weeks long but that is broken down into 5 day weeks,and you have to put in for the lottery and hope you get picked for gun,or you can buy an over the counter bow permit fot the last two weeks(just one or the other cant do both). i here tell that some state that dont have lottery but just over the counter purchase of tags allows hunters to hunt the whole season or untill they tag out, that would be so sweeeeeeeet.instead of being as pressured to kill a bird as the birds are trying not to get killed. a 5 day season sucks just because you cant always wait for the one you really want sometimes you just have to take what comes in front of you.
so to all you hunters who get more than 5 days to hunt,cherish it and hope you hold out for that trophy bird,because we all know anyone can call in and kill an excitible 2 year old bird,its those 4 year old ones that sneak in without a sound that are tough.
PEACE, AND GOOD LUCK

Well I got out to Plum Creek this Morning at 7:45....It's only 28 miles from the House...I didn't want to waste the Money on Gas at 3.25 a gallon to drive 120 miles to shoot a Turkey..... I called and called for Hours ....and got one Tom to answer Me....but then He quit....so I started to Hunt Rocks for Cowboy and a few others....I got a Backpack full of Rock and still hadn't heard any more Turkey...so I started to head back to the Truck....I was walking down a Trail ...when a bout 50 yards ahead of Me I see 7 Birds run across the Trail and head up a little Hill....I ran up closer to where they disappeared...and started to Belly Crawl towards them.....I could hear them clucking...and then a Tom gobbled .....I was almost to the Top of the Hill when I seen a Tom and 3 Hens....the Tom was all fanned out and courting these Hens...and was oblivious to Me....so I nocked an Arrow...started to draw as I got up on one Knee....I let loose the Arrow....and caught the Tom right at the base of the Neck.....the Arrow went almost all the way through and was flopping around with the Bird on the Ground.....and right at that moment another Tom came running over and mounted the first one on the Ground....and started to spur the Crap out of Him.....So I nocked another Arrow.....and Hit Him right underthe Wing....He flew off about twenty yards and hit the ground with a thud....Two Birds with Two Arrows....within 30 seconds.....Gawd it don't get better than that!!!!!! Too bad thats the end of Hunting Season for Me....no more Tags!!!! Good Luck Guys...........dang am I pumped!!!! Ohh.....by the way I almost forgot the Important stuff.....It was my newest Bow....the Python Backed Sycamore Bow I posted last Month....with 125 grain Magnus Snuffer Broadheads

Nice birds, Yank. To bad your season is over though. We have a fall season that last from October till mid Jan. And a Spring season that is 5 weeks long. We can take 2 birds in the Fall and 2 in the Spring. And the best part is we don't have tags, just the honor system. ::)
