[fracwilt]

@Winkiedoodles thanks man!

[dnahoghunter]

Nice bird! Ive only taken 3 myself!

[fracwilt]

@dnahoghunter thanks darak. i thought it was going to be easy after shooting this one so quick into the season, then i never saw another one, lol.

[LoneStarCreekRanch]

Hey, Congrats Craig!! I hadn't seen this video...very well done my friend!! That's a nice Tom for sure!! Eatin good tonight!! Haha!! Sorry for the delay here!!

[fracwilt]

@LoneStarCreekRanch thanks robert! i tried the legs a couple weeks ago, not very good. i hope the breasts are better!!!

[theBigbuckhuntr]

Do you know where yellowjacket road is in hell hole? Used to run dogs out there on the dog day. That swamp channel kinda resembles turkey creek where it crosses yellowjacket...

[fracwilt]

@theBigbuckhuntr yes, i know where yellow jacket road is. this was not on yellow jacket though. i did ride down yellow jacket one morning and there were 4 trucks within 1 mile of eachother, i went somewhere else!

[jcp342]

your right its not about how big it is it's all about being in the woods

[fracwilt]

@jcp342 yes sir! thanks!

[BIGestBUCK]

Very nicely done dude. Great job on the video. My girlfriend filmed the last 1 I shot - but hit pause instead of record. Only filmed after the shot. Hope you get another on film. Turkey nuggets are the bomb!

[fracwilt]

@BIGestBUCK thanks man! sorry bout your technical difficulty. our season is over, so there won't be any more huntin vids from me, unless some hogs show up again.

[BOHEMIANHUNTINGCLUB]

james

[fracwilt]

@BOHEMIANHUNTINGCLUB thanks james! lol, i musta got lucky, ain't heard one since! goin to try again in same area tomorrow, there was atleast another gobbler makin noise that morning. good luck to you!

[MrAnimalControl]

Very nice! I like hunting turkeys out of a ground blind, bastards sure can see good!

[fracwilt]

@MrAnimalControl thanks! yeah, i think he may have spotted me moving cause he stopped at about 30 yards. ground blind would be nice, but i already got enough junk to carry around. i rode my bicycle to this spot, it sucks with a backpack full of gear and a gun on your back!

[TheSimpleMan81]

Hell yeah Craig!! I like that film work man!! Damn that one hell of a swamp!! LOL

5*s

[fracwilt]

@TheSimpleMan81 thanks adam! lol, i thought the camera work sucked. i wish i coulda got the shot on film, might have if he hadn't come in directly behind me! i was too worried about shootin him!

[alabamabuckjumper]

Nice job man!Cut the breast up in fingers,Put some Lemon+Pepper seasoning with some salt,roll fingers in Spicy Brown mustard or just regular and then deep fry.Make your tounge lick your brains out!

[fracwilt]

@alabamabuckjumper thanks man! i might have to try that!

Very nice bird, Craig! Man, would I sure love to be able to video some turkey hunts! Missouri's season opens this Monday. I'm not sure I'll be going this year, though. I really did enjoy watching the footage.

[MIKEMARKSGA]

[AntiHuntersLoveMe]

Thumbs up

[fracwilt]

@anavidhunter thanks, great comment! i was a little under the weather but it won't keep me out of the woods! there was no skill envolved, lol just got lucky.

[anavidhunter]

@fracwilt

:D you are most welcome...I enjoyed the hunt. Only wish I was there for real...some day maybe! I've never spring hunted Turkey...I know its the best too :D

I get to hunt them in the early fall on my Elk and Deer bow hunt...I haven't brought one home yet but I've hunted them for three seasons now and came real close.

My Cuz has taken a few now...they are tasty!

[fracwilt]

@anavidhunter i haven't tried any yet, but i can't wait. my friend's bringing his meat over and we're gonna cook it all up together. any suggestions?

[anavidhunter]

@fracwilt

You say no skill involved...and you may have not dug deep into your bag of tricks...but you still had to take him down and put yourself in a place to have the chance...even if the rest was fluke...you got skills and could school many of us I'm sure.

Nice work again and hope you have a great 2010

[fracwilt]

@anavidhunter thanks again! i went to some different areas yesterday and only found a feather, lol. i think i better go back to this spot!

[56redneckhunter]
