I'll drop the story of my first turkey.

I was hunting around Junction Tx. The Rio Bonito Ranch. I had hunted in Louisiana for a couple years with no luck so lets go west.

I sent up in a cedar thicket and placed my decoy where I couldn't see it by the feeder..... Why did I set out a decoy at a feeder? Cause I had no idea how to hunt turkeys.

After running off two gobblers that were drumming at my decoy out of sight. I had no idea what the sound was that I was hearing.

Finally the 3rd gobbler (and dumbest) of the early morning was drumming fully locked up. I leaned as far as I could to my left and my browning BPS 12guage let our a bark!!. I was so close that I missed him less than 10 yards.

Quickly I pumped another shell in and took a last second hail marry shot at 30ish yards and he rolled. Jumping up and shifting my last shell in, I ran up to him, he was flipping and flopping, feathers going every where.

He finally stopped to take a breath and I damn near shot my foot off trying to kill him with that last shell. All I did was blow his beak off.

Off he went flipping and flopping again. Again I finally got to him and realized I was out of shells. Turkey still alive, I'm out of breath and shells. I have no idea what to do now....


So I did all that I knew at the time. I hit him multiples times in the head with the butt of that BPS until he quit moving. After a short rest I grab him by his feet and slung him over my shoulder, my BPS in my left hand I take the 75 or so yard walk back to my setup where my FNL and guide had pulled up only a minute earlier.

All I heard was DAMN! What happened to you!!?? I looked confused and said, I killed my first turkey. Why? They laughed and said, you know you could have just shot him, you didn't have to battle him hand to hand combat.

Still confused, I kind of laughed. What I finally figured out was, I was covered in blood like Mel Gibson in The patriot. HAHAHA

He had a 10 1/2" beard and 1 1/2" spurs. He hung on my wall for years and is now in storage.

I hunted the next year killing another bird close to his size and haven't turkey hunted since. But, I'm going to Illinois with my hunting partner next month. It's been 10 or 12 years and I'm not sure I'll ever have another turkey that is quite so memorable but, I'm looking forward to the trip.

I WFH, I'm alone 11 hours per day. Some days it great, others it sucks. I don't have any hobbies really, so it can get pretty boring.

I have gone camping by myself in North Arkansas for a few days. That was pretty awesome.

Maybe because I am normal but I just do NOT understand how a grown arse adult can do that to a CHILD! 12 year old boys are gross and smell. The LAST thing I want to do is be close enough to one to smell their BO. I have a son that is 6 and I would prob drag that bitch by her raggedy head and tear her arse up for touching my baby. Then these poor kids have to work and try to heal from that trauma

It looks like HDD was bought, moved, and renamed Delta. I guess technically we are both right! Lol

1928: C.E. Woolman, the principal founder of what would become Delta Air Lines, leads movement to buy Huff Daland Dusters. Renamed Delta Air Service for the Mississippi Delta region it served, the new airline is incorporated on Dec. 3, 1928. D.Y. Smith, President; Woolman first Vice President.

Delta originated in Georgia in 1924. It’s first passenger service started in Monroe in 1929.

Delta started as a crop dusting service in Monroe, LA and then evolved into passenger service.

My step Dad was a flight examiner for Louisiana for a very long time. He had a hanger next to one of the pilots that used to fly for delta.
