3 Friends 4 Turkeys

oakbrush · Apr 27, 2006

My buddies and I had a good spring turkey season this year and I thought I would post some pictures of our birds. My first hunt was in southern Utah. It took 5 years, but I finally drew and got to hunt turkeys close home. Also, to my amazement, my hunting buddy Brandt also drew the same hunt. After a lot of pre-season scouting, and a little luck, we both got good birds.

Here is my first Utah rio....

I also had an Arizona tag this spring. My good friend Neil would join me on this hunt. And what a good time we had. I got a decent tom, but Neil got a true trophy bird with a heavy 10in. beard.

Thank's for looking.... oakbrush.

Littlefoot, thanks for the good words, I have enjoyed all your pictures over the years. It is nice to contribute when I can.

Chef, I sent you a PM.

Arrowone4me, dad you need to get up here, the bass are starting to bite pretty good.

Widowmaker2, that bird had a 3/4in. spur on one side and it looked like he broke the other side off.

I forgot that I was going to add this picture to the post. We saw this guy from the road and he dedided to stop long enough for a picture....

Thanks
