[airman buckmaster]

After I missed the first week and a half because I was in Iraq, I ended up having a nice season. I took a real nice Tom the last morning of season. He was 25 1/4 lbs with a 10 1/2 in beard and 1 1/8 in spurs. He strutted in like he was supposed too and I had my 6 year old with me, needless to say he is ruined. The first day I got to hunt I got a Tom in and shot him at about 45 yards away. He got up and tried to fly, but he did have enough energy to run away and I could not find him. I guess that I fed the coyotes that night. Oh well, that happens sometimes. Nice season guys.

[Darwood]

#110 at the moment. Welcome back Airman Buckmaster,from Iraq and Thank you for serving our great country. That is a great bird to close out the season with,you done good. Good luck and may God be with you if you go back to Iraq or anywhere cross the waters.

[DocHunter]

Missed the opening weekend due to my father suddenly becoming ill. He is doing fine now. He was stable by Sunday night (April 16), so I went hunting Monday morning and got 1 bird. Decided to try to earn some brownie points by taking my wife to "Thunder Over Louisville" the next weekend since I had taken one bird. Then went hunting the next Monday morning (April 24) and got my second bird. The first had 10 1/2 inch beard and 7/8 in. spurs, the second had 10 inch beard, but had 1 1/4 inch spurs. I did not have an opportunity to weigh either bird, but I would estimate both at about 20 lb. Both hunts were fun and interesting. I heard numerous birds gobbling early on the 17th, and numerous shots. On the 24th, I heard NO gobbling till about 9:30 in the morning, then had 3 birds responding when my bird walked into view. I got some pictures of him strutting before I shot. It is great to be successful, but I miss the time in the woods.

[LittleJohn]

The count stands at 112. I guess this is all that going to posted their kills. I want to congratulate everyone on their kill,seem's like we had a very good season. Thank everyone for taking the time to share your memories and kills with us.
