Well our fall turkey season opens here on Monday I believe. Got that new Mossberg 835 and a few 3.5 inch number fives. Goin out with my old hunting partner and see if we can put a couple in the freezer.

One thing for sure we got lots of them here. Darn near a nuisence bird anymore. We got merriams and Easterns. Easterns all around Dwarshak lake. Supposed to be some Rio Grands down on the Snake river. I havn't seen any of those, but there supposed to be bigger bird than the Easterns.

Got to get an extra battery or two for the aimpoint and go check sight it at the range tomarrow. Both hens and toms are shootable in the fall here.

Has Idaho changed the regulations on battery operated sights?

Seems so. Their only verboten for big game. Nothing in the turkey regulations say no battery operated sights anymore and when I checked at the district office in Lewiston they said OK. Sure makes it easier for us older fellas with not so good eyesight.

All I can see is a scope on a pressed fiber board Bob! :D

I haven't hunted turkeys in the fall, only twice in the spring. Do they respond to calling in the fall? Good luck, those birds have sure populated the area.

Looks like faucettb could just sit on the porch and whack one :D

Yeah, but then he'd feel guilty and also probably get a broom whacked up against his head by the wife.

Know that would happen if I opened dove and quail season in our back yard! :p

Boy kdub your right on the money. A couple of years ago when I bought this place fish and game came in and live trapped 250 or so off the hill behind my house. We don't have them down in the yards, thanks to most folks having a dog, but you can hear them gobble all around. Got a friend lives down by the creek and he keeps them out of his yard with a pellet rifle.

Looks like our troll has gone to bed for the evening, Bob.

kdub, are you referring to me??? :mad:

No, I didn't go to bed, I was still at work doing paperwork, waiting for the printer to do it's thing. The when I got home I went straight to the gun room and worked on some more new .243 brass, necksized and primed some 300RUM's, let the dog back in and went to bed.

Troll :rolleyes:

Faucettb, I hope you have a great time chasing gobblers. I've never had the pleasure of hunting them. I hear they are a real hoot. I've seen them along the highway down by Meeker and I guess there's getting to be quite a few down that way. I think we have to much snow up this way to allow them to feed through the winter.

Troll??!! sheesh :rolleyes:

RJ

old fart :p

No, RJ - no reference to you.

We have a troll that pops in every so often trying to free advertise optical stuff and we were busy last night following him around the board deleting his posts and banning all the different names he was posting under. A real pain in the anal area. :(

Oh :o You can pretty much call me anything, just not late for supper. Wonder hwat calibre would be appropriate for trolls?
