Title: One Last Hurrah
Post by: vicksburg on April 29, 2011, 10:47:47 AM
Well fellas.  I'm going on a little family trip to a cabin on a lake near here this eve thruSunday morning. 

My buddy and I are then leaving mid day Sunday, heading for Missouri.  We'll be hunting there Monday morning through Wednesday.  Wednesday evening we will make the 4 1/2 hour drive over to our spot in Kansas and hunt Thursday through Saturday.  Hopefully we can bring back a few feathers. 

We've been to the same place in Missouri for 6 years now, and it has been good to us.  We've only been to the Kansas spot once before, two years ago.  We made this same exact trip 2 years ago, except it was 3 of us, and after 6 days, we brought this home...

We are hoping for a repeat, except with 2 full limits instead of 3, of course!

I'll be back 5/8, and i'll try to update this thread if i have enough cell service.  I should at least be able to text Stephan, Ronnie, and Chris and give them kill reports.
Good luck to everyone still in the woods!

A Mizzouri Monsta died this morning. I killed my highest scoring turkey of my career.
24 pounds, 1 1/2" spurs on both legs, and a 11 5/8" beard. He should end up scoring 77 and some change!

Appreciate it, fellas. I'll try to get some pics up tonight. Also, I broke some of my "power hair" out of my beard, and only got 11" in the pics for the contest. Final score will be 76.

This 1:00 hunt stopping time in mizzou isn't too bad.  Nap time! ;D

I wish I could live in MO!  After hunting there the last 3 days I am convinced it still is the turkey MECA!
