Turkey #2 4-29-09 VIDEO
This video pretty much says it all. Great hunt today, wish I wasn’t by myself this morning as this could’ve been great footage with someone working the zoom a bit. Persistance pays every time. Haven’t been talking much at all down here but each morning is a new day.

Below are some links to some very interesting turkey hunting articles. So far the season has been a tough one for most hunters here in Missouri. I’m one of the lucky ones this year and took part in my dad harvesting a bird and I was able bag one this last Saturday. Those have really been […]

Handguns
I have a ruger lcp .380 and a Taurus Millenium Pro in 9mm. So far both have performed flawlessly and are well suited for their purpose of concealed carry.
