Re: mountain bird Mr Willard may be one of the luckier fellas around, having a turkey machine like Ol Doug as a hunting buddy. Congrats to you both.

Re: mountain bird Congratulations Doug and Willard on another successful hunt, which although described modestly as an almost routine occurrence is anything but routine. Rugged country, likely no way to use decoys, this is as good as it gets. Really good pictures too. Doug, I'm guessing you use a camera with a timer? If my smart phone will do that my "smarts" haven't caught up with my phone.
