So that is why they make snake boots for turkey hunting.... Here in WI I was thinking that was to allow you to tromp thru the marsh w/o putting on hip boots. Great job!
Question, to those who know how to age a turkey. How do you tell age.... My first bird I was told was a 4.5 year old with 1-3/8 spurs and 11-1/4 beard. I forgot to ask how to tell age I was just thinking it was a good size one and a Tom so Bang at 20 yrds then my boss asked me to tell him the measurements over the phone and told me I had just out shot him on turkey hunting on my first outing (he has been turkey hunting in VA for a long time). DNR stated the aprox. age. Would like to know if it is based on measurements, or? Deer I know it is based on teeth and grind marks but not sure on turkeys.
Thanks! And again great job on both of your kills. Rattle snake soup with Turkey and gravy for you!
