Hêre we have a Fall Gobbler to add to this Journal Thread. This One was killed in New York. Trying to locate a Family Flock,I was sitting in front of a Boulder overlooking a Public Swamp. After 1 hour of sitting and calling+ no response,I looked Up the Ridge behind me. 5 GOBBLERS FLEW DOWN! They stayed up Top and fed. Once they fed out of sight,I charged up the Steep Ridge. This Guy came back to check out what he heard and BOOM! Fall Gobblers are Tough. Thick 8" Beard as you can see.

As long as the Bears stay out of the Ringwood Botanical Gardens. Beautiful Statue thêre of-- Diana- Goddess of the Hunt near a small house in the Gardens.

I Love Ringwood State Park. Hiking thêre,I have seen Black Bears all around Cupsaw Mt. Not even many Squirrel sightings. Just Black Bears in Ringwood...

Flock just came back just before,I headed out to Mow. 5 Poults. Hêre is a pic of one of them.

MOM just after Poults darted away.

7.15am, I saw Mom with 5 or 6 Poults on my Lawn. I came out with Birdseed. Poults ran into the woods and Mom stayed to eat for 5 minutes. Mom walked briskly away with low " Trilling". Not a Purr mind you. She followed with very soft yelping. The Poults were all together just inside the woods. Off they all went.

Indeed,I did. Just a typo above. Trying to do this program at least twice each week and work up the Running to a 1/2 mile run and then a 1/4 mile walk and then repeat . I will be in shape to look for Fall North Jersey Turkeys that,I probably won't find. They are as scarce as " Birds Teeth"- LOL.

HA-I HEAR YOU- LOL! I WILL BE RIDGERUNNING THE NORTH JERSEY HILLS + MOUNTAINS LOOKING FOR ANY REMAINING TURKEYS . NOT MANY ABOUT IN NORTH JERSEY AS YOU MIGHT BE AWARE. HOPE TO NAIL A FALL JAKE OR TOM. HENS GET A PASS.

Thí is great! Teach them well.

Too bad every statue is coming down. Andrew Jackson is probably next as he killed a Man in personal combat before becoming President of the United States.

One more pic for the Journal Thread. The next Gobbler has a 12"+ Beard. A very possible 4 Year old. Another Tough Public Land Battle using a Double Slate and my Nạtural voice as a finisher as,I Don't use the Mouth Diaphrams.

Got out early this morning on the Heritage Trail and ran in increments of a 1/4 mile followed by a 1/4 mile Run and so on for 4+ Miles today. Getting ready for Pheasant Season. Beautiful Sunny Morning!

Another big ol Gobbler . Again- the digital camera dates are way off.
