    CWD

    to me , it seems to be too much of a coincidence for the CDC to blow this incident off as nothing to see here , happens all the time . I have zero confidence in the CDC . about two weeks ago the one lease member got to talking about CWD , and asking questions . our lease is in a disease...

    Turkey Hunting

    I think there might be more kids that would try hunting , if they had someone to take them . a lot of parents don't hunt , or no one in the family that hunts . it's up to us to try and keep the sport going .

    Turkey Hunting

    if it's dry out , you can rustle your hand in the leaves between calls , to make a turkey scratching sound . turkey will scratch up big areas feeding . I'll gather up a few handful of leaves and put them beside me before I sit and get quiet in the morning .
