Congrats Guru! And to your dad. And what a great find in the arrow point? That is awesome.    

I still don't know how you guys get away with those blinds out in the middle of no were? Got me scratchin my head.   :confused:  

Were where all the hens?

If I put a blind out in the middle of a field like that the turkeys around here would laugh at you from 300 yards away. We have to hide our blinds so well we can't even find them sometimes ha ha

Congrats again Curt..good pics, good story, nice find. That's gonna be a memory you guys talk about forever.

WOW Curt thats awesome!!! I am in the same boat as Mickey....the ones around here wont even answer!!! and i only have one more week till the season is over    

Congrats again!!!

Way to go Curt! Congratulations to you and your Dad on a great hunt!  

Now THAT'S a cool story!

Thanks for sharing.

Well Curt,
That's got to be about as good as it gets, excellent story, great photos and what about that "find", that just has to be your talisman from here on in.
All the best!!

Thanks for writing that up and posting pictures.  I'm still armchairing it as far as hunting goes, and folks being creative and generous with their time and stories makes the wait all the easier.

Can't believe that head... you must have done something right!

Great job Curt!  

That's gotta get your goat.

Hope you post a pic of you two in the highlights.

 

All right Curt. How where you set up..give us particulars....Mac~

Only  Fantastic , Curt!!! I'd be caryin' that head for the rest of my life - maybe around my neck.

TO ME THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST STORIES ON THE GANG....UR DAD AND YOU ! TREASURE THIS ONE! i LOVE IT! MARK#78  

Hey and our (my, anyway) first sight of the "blbm" as a bonus. Semper Fi, guy!

two birds within minutes of each other is awesome!  now it's time for a turkey finger basket!    :D  i can't wait to see some pics...very exciting!

Way to go Curt- looks like you did your homework and made it happen.     Kenny

Holy Cow Buddy!!! Now that's awesome!!!          

Curt, I am awake now and gave the pics time to load. Know the story now...Thanks and that arrowhead meant it was meant to be. Ought to make a necklace with the spurs and head...Mac~

 Congrats bro. i missed 2 big ole tom's on opening morning, but i still had a blast. It's a blessed thing to hunt with youre Dad, mine taught me all he knew about hunting while i was young, mostly quail hunting and squirrel hunting. He fueled a fire in me that has caught on in my 3 son's. I'd give anything to hunt with my Dad just once more but disease wont allow it , i'm 41yrs. old but i still miss my Daddy walking me through those swamps and fields and telling me about his childhood adventures in the woods,..ohyeah,..........nice birds    buddy!!  

Thank You to everyone.If I have ever had a better overall experience hunting,I certainly don't remember it.As time goes on it will just get sweeter and sweeter.Memories and pictures to cherish forever!

Timo, the most hens I've seen in all my scouting there was 5.There were those hens,three jakes,and 7 toms that I was consistantly seeing.

Snuffers....Good        

Mickey, I hope you don't get the impression that our turkeys here in N.Y. are pushovers.Far from the truth!!!! I go out of my way to find birds that are not being disturbed.Just like deer,when they aren't bothered too much,turkeys act like turkeys.The thing is,most of the time here there is always someone other clueless hunter around to screw things up.I was up at that spot at 5:30 every morning to not only watch the birds,but, to see if there was anyone else on to them.I had not seen a soul up there,but thought for sure somebody would be there opening day to stumble around in the dark.
I got lucky that nobody messed things up.

Kenny, yes the homework payed off...BIG TIME!!!!

Dad got a dose of real world turkey hunting today! Can't have him thinking it's always that easy      

Stikz,  Thank you

Congrats, wish my opening day went as well.  

Awesome
