How do you expect me to concentrate on Turkey Hunting when I find trophies like this in the woods? "Dad" here is whitetail1. We got out with his family and I yesterday morning. I hooked up with his oldest son (known here as whitetailchaser22) and we walked right to a gobbler roosted across the ravine we set upon at 55+ yards. Really cool watching him gobble his head off for over a half hour. Unfortunately, he flew down to a hen and we watched them run off not offering a shot. The rest of the family was in the blind a 100+ yards away with no action. After a few hours, as we were stretching our legs, wc22 sees a shroom down in the ravine as shown in the pic. This morel was just a bit shy of 8". I swear, he has the eagle eyes of his dad! No turkey for any of us but we found close to 50 more before the day was out. Dinner consisted of deer loin mixed with sauted shrooms and onions! What a day!

Where we were hunting at it seemed every 100 steps we saw a big ol shroom popped up...we were just to intent on turkeys to really look though

HighCottonGuide, what county were these fresh 'shrooms found, if you don't mind saying?
Thanks, Hoosier.
