Stripers on the Bay

Me and the wife did a little striped bass fishing on the Chesapeake bay with my good buddy Mike Riley. Well we both caught stripers and as usual my wife catches the biggest one. That's two years in a row she has caught the biggest striper and what a great time we had fishing together.

Team Buckwild puts the Smackdown!! on a big Tom Turkey

Just an awesome hunt Saturday guys and definitely exciting. I took my buddy Rich (Team Buckwild) out for a turkey hunt at my Charles county property and we got it done. Got set up at 05:45 and right away had three toms within 100 yards of our set up gobbling on the roost. They flew down at 06:15 and I started calling with some very soft yelps and I got a bird gobbling his head off and coming in fast. One more soft yelp and I shut up and here he comes into view on the left side of our set up. I tell Rich to slowly move to his left and the bird is behind some thick brush about 50 yards out. Rich moves and I work the bird for another 5 minutes with some purrs and clucks. This bird is fired up and thunder gobbling, spitting and drumming and putting on one hell of a show for us. Well he finally can't stand it and my calling is driving him nuts so he comes in at full strut to 35 yards and I tell Rich to take him and Rich just hammers this bird down to the ground. What a freaking awesome hunt and it's only 06:30 and we have a big mature tom down baby. Well after some serious celebrating and a ton of pictures we tag him up and head back to the truck. This is Rich's first turkey and what a hell of a nice bird, 20 pounds, 10 inch beard and 3/4 inch spurs. He is having this great tom full body mounted and man what a awesome time in the woods today.
