okay guys / gals. lets see the toms from your turkey hunts, Utahs first season opened yesterday, so post up a pic and lets see em.

My buddy CWP on here had a few toms come by him and his dad but could not get shots and then they were messed up by other hunters walking around.

I know how they feel. I had some jerks come into a "walk in only area" with their atvs and scared the birds from coming to me and then about 4 hours later after I climbed much higher on the mountain up near snowline, after working a big old tom for about an hour. I finally had the tom within a few hundred feet and he was coming in strong, when those two losers drove up to within 10 feet of my decoys and the bird was gone and I called it the day after that. Oh ya, I also drove over a board with 3" grabber screws in it with me truck the night before the opener up on the mountain , thanks guys. I thought only stuff like that happened on the Limited entry elk units.Maybe it was a board left over from last fall.

Sorry to hear that Ridge.

Sent you a P.M.

Sorry Ridge. I hope you get your bird next time out.

Is it me, are more 'hunters' (extreme sarcasim) getting more and more rude and incosiderate?

just getting lazier. walkers like me are a dying bred i fear

Great bird! Man, I want a Merriam.

Got into my spot well before daylight, I had 5-6 birds gobbling, but they all flew down on the other side of the river with hens. I left and went to another spot for a bit and saw/heard nothing. Stopped at the original spot on the way home and set up in the exact same spot. I yelped quietly off and on for about 15 minutes and this guy flew across the river to me. The shot was about 24 yards and he died about 5 feet away from my hen decoy. He weighed 23 lbs (biggest I ever shot), had a 9 1/2" beard and 1 1/2" spurs.

CONGRATS GUYS!

Here is my dads tom.
