Last Season

Seems so long ago.

A flight that went on by. One that came in.

Stream duck hunting when the ponds and wetlands are frozen over.

Two drake Goldeneye, one drake Hooded Merganser and one hen Hooded Merganser.

These pictures came from one of Jon Nee's land runs this past winter.

 

Old (seasoned) Hunter

We say he's seasoned and he says he is just old.

Old hunters don't just fade away, they take better pictures. Bob writes: "Had a good Friday afternoon. Got there about 2:30 heard him gobble and at 4:00 after only 3 more gobbles had him in my lap. Heavy 25 pounder with a 10 1/2" beard and 1 1/2" spurs."

 

For the rest of us Bob has been with MAHA for just about as long as anyone has currently or in the past. He has taken a lot of turkey and his pictures grace this website in several places. In years past he would fill all tags and has been a member of the four toms in four days club many times over probably dating back to when turkey tags became available in Kansas and Missouri. Even Bob can't remember when he started hunting. As the years progressed he seems to take a leisurely approach to his turkey hunting and finds taking one tom just as satisfying as when he would be out an hour before light for days on end. These are the things Bob tells us in his brief seasonal conversations where few words are spoke and much meaning is communicated.
