Almost Thanksgiving Turkey Range Day

[pharmer]

Took a ride out to Holopaw to bust a couple hundred rounds on a nice cool day. Perfect weather, a little windy. Only handguns as the rifle range had guys firing what sounded like artillery. Deer are about 100 lb around here, can't imagine why you'd need to sight in a .340 Weatherby to shoot one. I guess it would cut down on the butchering effort. On the way out I came upon 2 gaggles of turkeys not wanting to share the road. Nice, healthy looking youngsters. I shot a few pix, no turkeys. In one pic, the pickup coming at me was Fish and Game ranger with 4 guys on board. Enjoyed the trip immensely. joe

Nice pics. Yeah, shooting from the road might not have been appreciated under those or any conditions.

I'm not sure about different states, but in MD I never understood why Turkey season was in late April and early May. I'm guessing it has to do with the breeding season, but would be cool to have a fresh turkey for Thanksgiving!
