Sorry to hear that.  Hope to get a couple cameras out this Saturday.  Going to put it on a creek that I believe they use as a major travel area.  Going to have it out for a few weeks before I check it.  Hope you get some Toms soon.

No luck on the trail cams again this week. Had over five hundred pictures mostly all deer. At least I know that some of the nicer bucks on my lease made it through the season. I found a but of scratching today but the turkeys just haven't found my feed yet. Maybe next week!

I'm a trail camera junkie but I've never used them to try to pattern turkeys.  I did set a cam up a few seasons back along a cornfield that the birds were hammering and got some phenominal pics.  Here's a few of my favorites...

When I got pics of the boss gobbler of the flock (notice the two short middle tail feathers) giving my camera "the bird" I took it personal and vowed to make him pay for this indescent act of arrogance...

There was another grizzled old bird in the bunch (aka "Mr. Hooks") that I really wanted to kill too...but I never caught up with him.

I went to put out two trail cameras this past Saturday but like a fool I left my new batteries in the truck.  It was too far of a walk to make it back in time so I went ahead and put them where I wanted them and for one I found enough batteries to last of half a life.  Should be able to get a few pictures from it.  Going back weekend after next to put the new batteries in and check the few pictures I hopefully got.  I was hot when I realized I left the batteries.  :character0029:

You would have had plenty of time to get the batteries and put them in the cameras....heck you spend an extra hour looking for someone's keys   >:(
