Good luck, gard, bag a beauty!
By the way, morels are in season in Western MD. Get you some before they're gone.
By the way, that's a quarter for scale (about 1"). Check this out if you're interested in morel recipes. http://www.mushroom-appreciation.com/morel-recipes.html The homemade cream of morel soup is really tasty and I froze a quart and ate it 11 months later. It was just as good as the day I made it.

Thanks, gard. My bro picked the ones soaking in salt water (on the right) on Wednesday, I found the ones on the left this evening.

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Yesterday, our son Ryan, who is now 10, had his first successful hunt and got his first turkey. Ryan has been going hunting with us for a couple of years. When he was 8, he had a chance but got nervous & mom had to shoot the turkey. Bret calls the turkeys in. Bret doesn't carry a gun because Ryan is a mentored youth hunter.
It was a cold morning & we had a full moon the night before. Bret would call & we would hear gobbles far off. We thought the gobbles were getting closer when we heard 3 shots fire a ways off. Bret & I worried that our chance was done. However, we waited a little while & Bret called again & we heard more gobbles. Our bird was still on it's way!
At about 6:30 in the morning, the old blue head was on a fast trot through the woods around 28 yds away from us. I wasn't sure Ryan was going to get it. I thought it was going to be out of his range and I was just about half a second from pulling my trigger when Ryan fired on the bird. The bird started to flail & Bret ran up to bag it. Ryan really made a great shot!
The turkey was a beauty. It was 21lbs, with a 10 1/2 beard & 1 inch spurs. Bret & I were so proud of our young man!

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Congrats to Ryan!!! I'm sure you all had a great time and bagging the bird was icing on the cake. It is great to see a young man hunting, he looks real excited and proud.
That man is a success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who leaves the world better than he found it; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in other's and gave the best he had.

He was so excited! Ryan was mad his brother called him a yuppy-kid last week... First thing he said to Tyler was "I ain't no yuppy kid!" LOLzp4ja wrote:Congrats to Ryan!!!

That saying comes from Duck Dynasty. Got to love a show that has made being a Christian country kid cool again!
