 Quote: As for Tuff Bobby Gobble, his time will come. If I ever find him. He's either in Freddy's truck or still out there in the woods. Tuff Bobby Gobble has been rescued! After reading Mark's post I realized that we did indeed leave him in the woods! Abby and I just went down the ridge to get him and he was safe and sound right where we stashed him under the stump!! _________________ "You have to pay for every bird you kill and the coin you use to pay for them is time." - Tom Kelly |

Thanks for rescuing Bobby. And thanks to Abby for her great song about the rescue!
Diablo, you can see pictures of the infamous Tuff Bobby Gobble here: http://blogs.roanoke.com/wildlife/turke ... rts_n.html He actually looks a little (emphasis on "little") better now thanks to the addition of a beard and a little tucking and trimming on his breast feathers. mt |

very nice tactics...I have a lot of confidence in the walking away gobbler...did Freddy tell you that tactic sort was a middle of the game step in putting down the largest longbeard he ever killed?

That's awsome, just imagine how tough that would have been 2 weeks ago with no leaves. Hate the pollen but love the cover, you got to love those bushy little trees. Great Job
