Birthday Bird...
I have been pretty lucky getting a turkey on my birthday over the years....I got in the woods and the birds had lockjaw..I got my trusty old $6 box and was just sitting there pondering that I was one year closer to being as old as Haywire...after the woods got alive I made some yelps on the box and got quiet for a spell just listening...about 30 minutes later I got a little louder and set the call down...it wasn't 15 minutes and I heard drumming...shortly a two year old with loving on his mind slipped in...
After I got him back to my tree and sit there a few minutes I decided to have my birthday cake....

Cool---those two year olds are God's gift to turkey hunters. I love 'em, and I'm glad you got to celebrate with your hand up a turkey's butt. I'm jealous.

Happy Birthday!
And congrats!
A little tip: put the wings, thighs & drum sticks in the crock pot with a couple cans of cream of mushroom soup for 4-6 hours. Good eats.Carl

Congrats on the birthday bird! Season here opens Saturday, and I have a birthday coming also
...nothing like killing a turkey on your birthday (then going out that afternoon and catching a bunch of fish!)
Tom, we really enjoyed hearing you two tonight at Post 44. We have heard you before at the Elks Club, but you were in particularly good voice tonight. That was as fine a rendition of "You Were...
