Hunting lions/tigers/bears isn't for me but I still support it where it is absolutely essential for conservation.

A lot of my disdain comes from living in Montana and seeing an airport full of mounted predators and people that think killing magnificent hunters is some super masculine feat. I have more respect for lions, jaguar, tigers, bears, killer whales, sharks, cheetahs, wolves, eagles, hawks, than I do for crappie, bass, deer, elk, turkeys, pheasant, etc.

I'm coming around to thinking id enjoy going on a hunt. Ideally it'd be cold as eff and I'd have to hunt to survive. Preferably in a group of 3 or 4 and itd be a 2 to 3 week expedition.

I respect all animals. Some I just revere more.

I get that. It's an emotional thing. We, myself included, tend to respect the grittier and more intelligent animals. The more I learn about deer tho the more I find out how intelligent they can be. I kinda have to be careful because what if I decide I don't want to kill them? It's a good thing they are delicious.

Hahaha well we can't have that. Make sure to come up with two dumb things they do to every smart thing. Problem solved.

Basically my buddy is lucky as eff and we called in these jakes on WIHA and he got two with one arrow. No blind, just hiding behind a tree. Crazy lucky.

Two with one arrow is not something you see everyday.

Just took a 2.5 hour hike and photo session out at Konza. Took some photos of some turkeys out there. I'm assuming I was able to get within 50 feet because they are protected out here?

they aren't very smart, sdk.

Pretty selfish not to shoot one i must say.

SdK · « **Reply #1185 on:** April 13, 2017, 05:24:38 PM »

A few of the photos.

SdK · « **Reply #1186 on:** April 13, 2017, 05:25:37 PM »

Haha well I know they aren't smart. But it was really easy to get close. I figured they'd scatter.

This is infuriating.

SdK · « **Reply #1188 on:** April 13, 2017, 09:38:53 PM »

Hahahaha. I had fun flanking them and sneaking up. Good opportunity for a two turkey one arrow out there today.

Emo EMAW · « **Reply #1189 on:** April 13, 2017, 09:47:52 PM »

Well, ole Emo did pretty splendidly in the turkey woods today too, but I'm holding off on posting until I get all the pics.

I came up upon 3 hens(?) when I first set out. On the return trip is when I came across the toms (would have been cool if i was wearing toms).

Can't wait to see the pics, Emo. Congrats!

SdK BIL has a bow. Maybe I'll try my hand at the hunting. I'll have to run up and slit throats to make death quick. I'll look through dad's footlockers the ka bar he brought back from desert storm.

Public lands, archery, no blind. 21.1 pounds, 1" spurs, 10.5" beard and a bonus 6.5" beard. Trophy turkey for sure.

Emo EMAW · « **Reply #1192 on:** April 15, 2017, 09:02:12 PM »

The pack out!

sdk, assuming you were full body camo'd out to sneak up on those monsters?

wetwillie · « **Reply #1194 on:** April 15, 2017, 09:05:50 PM »

Nice bird. That mask looks like it wouldn't breathe very well though.

Emo EMAW · « **Reply #1195 on:** April 15, 2017, 09:08:24 PM »

I got it at a public auction for a police dept that closed down.

Emo EMAW · « **Reply #1198 on:** April 16, 2017, 08:39:06 AM »

I cut my hair.

DSLR on a tripod or my buddy on his phone.

I can't think of anything worse than hiking a couple of miles in those galoshes
