Gosh, do you want pictures from the archives of time, like when I was skinny and had hair? I'll have to do some digging and find some good ones.

Never had it that bad,
but did go thru a time when the best I could do was glue 4-5 paper plates to the bottom of each foot, it wasn't too bad and about the time you were done hunting the glue let loose
Very nice pics Thunder chicken

We sure have some photographic talent in this herd of GOATS
We are some talented, good looking fellows! Reflex, why do a lot of your turkeys look like they have been run through a washing machine? And guesswho couldn't afford crocks because he spent all his money on hair care products. The Duke Brothers were probably jealous of that mane.
Here's some older ones.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220305/be0077f0333a4ca1ded7471db536e832.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220305/3e3d08711c7ff66e2a463347d118c236.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220305/c224c9e34ebfa29834dcf15ddc585ff1.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220305/0de1c9ff289698ab0e9943e0c630a4b0.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220305/4f11f46beaf76c2ea77e7c50907fe86a.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220305/f2bc27041b8790ec3ec588224fe8e8b2.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220305/b8667f946784eb6530aa35b21c5d4c3b.jpg)
For this round I'll post birds I didn't pull the trigger on
1. The first bird I ever called in for my dad
2. Youth hunters first gobbler with a view of Catskills
3. Incredible weekend for a wounded warrior hunt 21 hunters 18 birds in 2 days
4. One of those birds wanted to die mornings, shot a bird at fly down for myself, picked up a youth hunter and called a trio of gobblers on on a string before 9, found my father and his friend at a diner and convinced them to make a late morning run, worked up a double for them before noon
5. This one needs full write up but a hard earned bird for a 73yr old veteran and a 6min flash hunt to end the day for myself
6. First gobbler for the younger brother of youth hunter in picture #2, I've been able to take 4 of the family's 6 children to see their first turkey flop
7. My wife with a tom while she was 5 months with our first child
8. Wife with a gobbler on our 11th wedding anniversary
Missing a ton of pics from past Vet and youth hunts that must be on old phones (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220305/bc47dc0eff12e49400511ba04c0d9017.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220305/bca28da524145b1c039b3f484609d65b.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220305/ceb69ed6cf5d371615d5b2caf52e3e1b.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220305/b8f02113c459e46952306b5811e4fbb5.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220305/680681d21e07d5682807675d2419b0f3.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220305/edbc6da25a5a724c996f051780ea61fd.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220305/96d7cf609e578955dc331d72e7d7f43d.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220305/692b17baa6c904652534a44ed655ee7b.jpg)

Top left to right:
1.)My guesswho bird
2.)One of my first turkeys. All the earlier pic are on slides. Yeah I was once that skinny and that's how I dressed hunting
3.) Our first double morning with my best turkey hunting buddy (1980)
4.) An early 80s bird
5.) One of my best overall birds ever. Two huge beards over 11", 1 7/16 spurs and almost 22 pounds. With a good story.
6) My only personal double, two rios in Oklahoma 2010. Both nice birds 22 and 23.5 pounds, good spurs and beards.
7.) Our Osceola double in 2012
I decided not to post the whole album of, well just a few more pics

I have killed several in the rain. If the birds are game so am I. I actually do dry them before weighing them. I let them ride down the road on my carryall. Dries them right out. Fluffs them too!

I figured Ronnie just waterboarded that gobbler to get him to tell him where the others were hiding.

Took that one with my Grandfathers 1875 Remington and Son's 10 gauge double barrel.
I'm the third generation to take game with it. Dad and my Uncle Don were tickled to death. They goose and pheasant hunted
with that gun when they were boys. Not sure how they carried it. It weighs a ton. It's going in the safe for my
oldest nephew now. It's his gun to take game with.
West Augusta-love that pic.

Thanks. My Grandfather got that gun during the first depression. Been in the family ever since.
West Augusta-great pic, love that shotgun and I think it's great that you/your family are carrying on that tradition.
Great looking picture, congrats on a nice gobbler with the old gun,
cool history with it
Now that's cool. I love pictures with some history involved.
