Yes sir, south central Missouri

I enjoy hunting, just as much as I enjoy eating everything I take. Learned a lot of life lessons in the woods, from patience, persistence, learning how to lose and show up the next day to get back after it and many more. It’s a special thing to me, and many others I grew up with. I can assure you I don’t waste anything, except for the predators and critters around that need to be controlled to keep the conservation up, so the little ones out there like your daughter can keep feeding them and bring them joy in their own way. I could wake up and sit on the porch and just listen to them gobble and talk for hours. Just wrapped up our turkey season here in MO today. Time to let them rest

Small world indeed! I know a handful of ppl in the Stephenville and Grandbury areas.

You won’t regret it. Congrats to your son! That 3 week stretch of spring turkey season is my favorite time of the year.

I believe he said it was Lingleville. What a “small world huh” moment 😂

You just send the bat signal out anytime you need an excuse for new stuff brotha, and I’ll pretend I’m a local expert and tell ya “the stuff you really need” for this that or the other so you can buy more cool stuff 😂 my dad was just down in Texas for work last week and lucked out on a couple rios. Think he was about an hour and a half southwest of Ft Worth, and usually tries to get down there this time of year and hunt a buddy’s farm. And returns the favor when he comes up here

And yea her little .410 can rip a very good group of pellets out to prob 45 yards or so. We have a guy locally over here that makes very good shotgun ammo. She shoots the Nitro ammo in the TSS loads

Welp, she cashed in today! Got to a new setup this morning very early bec of where they roost on a ridge. Sat in a pop up down along a creek bank. She slept and missed all the gobbling for the first 30 mins or so. Had 2 long beards and a Jake hang up on us down the creek in another field across it that we never got eyes on. She was getting antsy, but we just shutup on them and figured we’d wait awhile to see what happens. And BAM, all a sudden we see them out the corner of our eyes at a dead sprint @ our 2 decoys at about 60 yards. Started scrambling to get her on my knee and get her on the gun, the red dot turned on and get the hammer cocked. My stress didn’t help her AT ALL 😂 as I’m trying to make sure her little BOG tripod can swivel over, make sure she’s looking @ the green dot and when to shoot she gets anxious and starts to meltdown, but my GOSH she dropped the hammer on a good ole double bearded bird this morning, and it’s one of the happiest moments of my life!

Got to finally do what I’ve waited 6 years for this morning, take my first born (daughter) turkey hunting for youth season. She’s 6, but I was just curious if anyone else out here has taken their little ones when they’re finally of legal age, and how that experience went. It was a much colder morning that normal here in southern MO this morning, so she struggled a bit. Factored in with her waking up @ 3am this morning with a runny nose, mixed with the excitement we didn’t get back to bed and just stayed up until it was time to head out. Got her a good nap around lunch time, went back out this afternoon and she was fairly quiet/still (we were setup in a TideWe all VIS blind so movement wasn’t much concern bec of the setup) until about the hour 20ish mark of the hunt, and the brakes came off 😂 got fidgety, ate snacks on snacks to help with boredom, tried her best to whisper when she had questions about this that and the other, but she made it 2.5 hrs, so I felt like she was a trooper for the most part! In the end, it wasn’t our day today, so I let her rip that .410 at the armadillo in the food plot before packing up. And we’ll be back @ it again tomorrow on another farm. Those easterns in Southern Mo were oddly quiet at this spot today

Here too pour one out for the homie @Jordan91

Nate Oats, Buzz Williams? 🤷🏻‍♂️ tough to admit, but he has won. You could say Jon scheyer, but you could also say he’s just a familiar face, that got tossed in the driver seat of the machine that is Duke Basketball

Respect. Just looking for answers, and reasons on opinions is all.

Well said. That’s all I wanted to hear was the WHY in your opinions, without having to analyze every other comment in here. And not being a hoops diehard myself. Hat tip to you.

Ight boys, daddy’s putting belt to ass. @bierce and @Jordan91 y’all seem to be very vocal on the hoops stuff. Tell me why you are anti Sean Miller since he’s the name that’s been brought up, and caused such a meltdown on here tonight. I’m pretty mentally challenged when it comes to the nuances and fine details of bball, bec…..well, football 🤷🏻‍♂️ so I’m just looking for the WHY? And, if you think RT needs another crack at landing the plane (which isn’t easy to do in 2025 I hear) why?
