We had an excellent time and birds were everywhere. All the
information was very knowledgeable and helpful. The food was
excellent and hats off to Jerry at the campground. This was and is
one placed I would love to hunt time and time again and maybe bring my
family as an outing. My wife and kids loved the bird and we can't
wait to get it mounted for our living room.
These pictures were taken on the harvest site in the Black Hills.
thanks for a good experience and I will be staying in touch. I
can't wait to come back and do it again. If you need anything give
me a call or e-mail me.
Thanks

John,
Just a quick note to let you know that we had a great time on our hunt!
Didn’t limit out but we sure had fun chasing those birds. Seemed like
most birds were working private land and they knew exactly where it was.
One of our guys had some success across from camp (he was very
happy). Jerry and Cindy were more than cordial hosts. They are some great
people. I would have to say that overall it was a great experience and we
learned quite a bit about those turkeys. They are a little different than
the eastern birds we have around here. Thanks again for everything and
keep us posted on events for next season as we are discussing another trip
next year.
Thanks ,
Curt, Al, Ed, Mark, and Mike

Eagle,
Thanks
again for a great hunt, for your awesome and warm hospitality,
and for taking
the
time
to show us where to get on the birds. We are already talking about a trip
next year and since some of the guys did not pound ‘em
in South Dakota, I think the chances are good that we will be giving you and
G-man a call.
Cindy
–
thank you as well for making
us feel so welcome in your beautiful home and for the delicious food!!
Here
is a pic of my
bird for your scrapbook or for G-Man to use on his web site if he so chooses.
Thanks
again.

John,
Here is a couple of pictures of the turkeys. Wayne did get his turkey Tuesday
morning before we left. The turkey weight 15.5 lbs and had a 4 inch beard
with 1/2 inch spurs.
Thanks again had a good time, Jason and Wayne

Hey John,
We wanted to
send you some pictures of the turkeys we were blessed to get while we were
there in South Dakota. We want to thank you for everything and let you
know that we absolutely enjoyed our time there. We will be thinking of
you and Jerry and the both of you will be in our prayers. Thanks for
everything and we hope to see you soon.
Sincerely,
Mandy & Jason Lindsey

John,
We had a really good time on our trip. We saw and chased turkeys
everyday. Thanks for showing us where to go. I had a chance at a really good
bird on Wednesday. He had seven hens with him. We watched and called him for
about an hour and was able to get him (and the hens) within 20 yards. A hen
made me as I was going up with my gun and everything went south after that.
I did get a couple shots off but I don't think I touched him. Friday morning
we chased 2 birds-one was gobbling really good. I managed to get him but as
it turned out he was a young bird but at that late date I was glad to get
him. Hope to come back again one day. Thanks again for helping us out. The
room, food, scenery, and hunting was great.
Sincerely,
Charles and Teresa |

Since you didn't get any pictures last year of Rex and his bird the
picture attachment are of Dennis and Rex with their birds from this year.
Enjoyed the time there again this year and look forward to coming back for
another shot at it again. Maybe the next time I can park myself in the
right spot to get one of those beautiful birds.
