Re: Redbeard\'s Title Bout with Tornado Tom Been awhile since I've been to the site, and this is exactly what I was looking for! Congrats on both your birds Dean! You know I'm always wishing you a good day in the woods. Great hunt and a great read! I was right there with you my friend! Congrats on Charlie Horse also! Hope you heal up soon pal! Congrats on your success! James

Haven't posted here in a while, but I know there are lots of baseball fans here. Mets vs. Bosox. Definitely had a World Series aura to it. After welcoming Pedro back last night with a standing ovation then pounding him out of the game in 3 innings, I was anxious to see how we would fair against the best pitcher in the league right now in Glavine. This game had everything.....great pitching, great defense, bunts, sacrifices, awesome pick-off by Schilling at 2nd base, and yes....home runs. Glavine had a 2 run league in the 6th (Beltran took Schill deep with a 2-run blast) but then gave up a homer to Loretta and put the next 2 on. We were able to tie the game. Came back in the 7th with a lead off text book bunt single by Coco Crisp (thanks Cleveland..lol!) who stole 2nd. Gonzalez sacrificed bunted him to 3rd then Youkilis hit a sac fly to take the lead. Timlin (always has his camo tee under his uniform) replaced Schill and took care of the 8th, but not without an amazing diving fully extended catch by Coco for the 3rd out! Big Papi Ortiz couldn't stand that Beltran tied him with his 22nd homer so he hit his 23rd for some insurance. Papelbon came out in the 8th to retire the side for the save. Every facet of the game was seen tonight. One of the best I've watched. Still can't believe we swept the Mets, but I know it won't last forever so I'll enjoy it while I can! Just a great game no matter who you were rooting for.

Got up at 3:45am and shrugged off the attempts of my girlfriend to "sleep in" and glad I did. I'll never forget this scouting trip! I headed across the border to scout my favorite spot in NH. I hiked in and settled myself against a stonewall on a harwood ridge and let the morning unfold. The birds starting chirping and soon the echoes of gobbles filled the air. One gooble took my breath away. I was 40 yards away from a Tom and a jake who started gobbling from the roost! I guess I was in a good spot. After flying down, I listened as they made their way to an overgrown field at the top of the ridge about 4/10s of a mile away. About 1/2 hour later I made my way there. I discovered this guy putting on a show. The scenery is beautiful! It wasn't long when this small buck made his way across and paid no attention to the "show-off " above him. I also discovered these 3 jakes putting on a show of their own. It wasn't long before 2 Toms and a couple more jakes all got together to find out who was boss. The fireworks soon began! Soon, a hungry member from the audience broke up the show. But , he is still hungry! He was no match for the sharp eyes and quick reactions of these turkeys. If you think turkeys are scared of yotes, think again. These guys stuck around and actually ran the coyote off. They gathered back up and continued where they left off! I can't wait until May!
