I spent the whole day food shopping, organizing and cleaning the trailer, packing gear, and shooting my bow.  Monday evening I head out for Kansas to meet up with a gaggle of site members: FM (Francis), Bowfreak (Mark), zpd307 (Gary), Ethan(Gary's son), Bowhunter1 (Terry), and the event host Mainebrdr (Tim).



This will be our fourth annual TurkeyFest at Tim's place and as always it's going to be an amazing time!  :upthumb:


We have elk, antelope, deer, walleye, crappie, fresh honey, fresh eggs, and more on the menu so we won't be going hungry.


With a pocket full of archery tags, a fully stocked fishing pond, a week long trip, and more it should be a great time. I will do my best at documenting everything with lots of pictures and maybe even some videos. I'm bringing some of the filming stuff.  :upthumb:


Lucky for the turkeys there, most of the guys are shooting stuff other than Mathews bows, so the arrows should bounce right off of them.  :tease:








We cannot wait to share stories with you!  :upthumb:
 
Ran some operational checks today on the gas and water.  Everything so good to go and I packed my freezer and fridge.

Everyone seems to be excited and has jokes already 🤪

Tomorrow I just have to make it through a few hours of work and then it?s time to hit the road.

Good luck on your opener!
I am hoping your prize arrives before then so you can use it.  :upthumb:

Got it thanks again its awesome.  Good luck again!
 
Dan texted and said he may need a little $$ for the elk to pay for the turnpike tolls in Oklahoma!!  :) Those extra 2 axles on the trailer adds up plus more stopping and starting than I think he realized to pay for each segment.


Don't think he's going home the way he came!  LOL!


Have a great hunt and sure there will be many stories and pictures(some which might not be suitable for this forum).

It?s windy, but we?ve got a game plan for tomorrow.  Terry should be in soon so it?ll just be us in the AM.  Everyone else shows up tomorrow. 

I just hunkered down on a field edge tonight and watched birds

Go get 'em guys!


Dan, what do you or Tim suspect got the deer? Do they have much for predators there other than coyotes?
