If you had a way to keep it to the side until I ever make it the Nashville I could use a piece of it 5’x8-10’.

🤪 🫣 I have so many things I need welded

NOW ya tell me? 😂 The one I’ve been chasing all season usually has a Jake with him strangely enough, today he did again, but I guess it’s worth a try.

On the roost and on the ground, gobbling VERY good. We went in at 9am with three of them still gobbling, couldn’t ever get in the right spot. Probably the best gobbling day I’ve heard in 8-9 years. I can’t remember ever having worked a bird that gobbled at least every 30 seconds for over two...

I live “way out in the boonies” with them. I know it doesn’t fit the narrative and everyone wants to say that nest raiders are exploding in population, but it just isn’t true. Increases and decreases? Sure, but over the last several decades they have remained fairly stable on a county and...

Remained stable? All of them. Coons, opossums, skunks, snakes. I'm not convinced armadillos eat eggs, and have seen different biologists say they do and some they don't, but if they do eat eggs their population in Tennessee is significantly higher since reintroduction. What I mean by nest raider...

Just like mine. Have had it for 8 years or so, but we loose power 3-4 times a year and have used ours a bunch, have had zero issues with it running everything in the house except heat pump and water heater.

In my area of Hickman county we went from winter flocks of over 30-50 toms to 5 toms in one winter. I watched/saw/listened to them throughout bow season and rifle season, and then before turkey season that year they were gone. They stayed “gone” for several years, and are now back to 50% of what...

Nest raiders have always been the number one killer of turkeys, and an individual property owner can control them to the point they can help save a few nests without a doubt. This cannot be been done across counties and states is all I’m saying. And the nest raider populations were just as high...

Everything you say is true. I have coon hunted a time or two and know some who did so competitively . They are still not the reason for the massive population decline of the wild turkey in the last decade. They can not be. The populations of nest raiders is not any appreciably different today...

Why does this make you happy? I don’t get it.

Someone bow hunting shoot it off?

There is some credible research that says what you’re saying about a population explosion when introduced and then coming back down to normal, but that would take place within 5-10 years at most for a species like wild turkey. Turkeys have thrived and expanded for decades in some places. This is...

I like the idea of limiting the number of times you can transfer. Like once. Unless your coach moves on or gets fired, then you get another one.

I fully understand that I am in the vast minority that does not think there are more (not appreciably at least) best raiders today than 5,10,20 or 50 years ago. Coon hunters could barely put a dent in populations of raccoons on one specific property, much less over the entire landscape where...
