This is the 11:45 AM turkey. That is the time in which he was harvested. He weighed 21.4 pounds, had an 11 inch beard, and inch and one half spurs. He was about three years old, he was killed in Surry County, Virginia.
Let me tell you a little about myself. I was born and raised in Arkansas. I was introduced to hunting at the age of ten years old by my greatest mentor, which was my late father. Not only did he teach me good hunting skills he also taught me about good sportsmanship. My great love for the outdoors has taught me to be a good hunter and fisherman but it has also made me very aware of nature and it's surroundings.
I have now been in the US Navy for 19 years and I am on shore duty at SIMA Norfolk and am looking to retire within the next year. I am really looking into starting my own business in the safety field or hiring on to a big company. I hope to learn and get enough information to be able to bring that wish to reality when I retire.
Being on shore duty I will have more time to hunt, fish and scout around to find some good places to hunt. I hope that my links have helped some of you. I will be adding more if I come across any that I think is of any use to anyone.
My desire here is to provide information on locations of different hunting clubs for you to choose from. Also some good state land for those of you who do not desire to join a hunting club. To provide links to various hunting pages, give pointers on successful hunting and fishing and provide a place for those who enjoy the outdoors.
I have started duck hunting within the last year and have found that it is something that I really enjoy.I never realized that this would be as much fun as deer or turkey hunting. I have a chocolate lab that I got as a pup and have been training her to be a duck dog. She has done fairly well even though my family seems to think of her as the "family dog". She is still young so I still have training time with her. I plan on breeding her in the spring and possibly keeping one of the pups to make a true duck dog since she has been spoiled by the family.
Well, I got myself a good sized buck this year. I hope to have the picture scanned soon and place it on here to show off soon.I haven't really had the time to hunt like I want to unfortunatly. The buck held the record on Oceana for a while. There was another deer killed that beat mine out in rack width, mine still holds the record for body mass. Mine was 164 pounds field dressed,9 point with a 15 5/16 inside spread. For the area, Oceana that is a good sized deer. I killed it with my muzzleloader I got for Christmas the previous year. This was my first chance I got to hunt with it and I tell you, I loved it!
