Nice shot. This may be a dumb question, but what are the bands on the legs?

Harvested my first turkey this evening. 3 year old bearded hen.

I just spoke with TPWD and the official stated you CAN shoot antlerless in accordance with the OUTDOOR ANNUAL booklet for Wise and Montague counties. Page 94 and 87. (He also recognized that there was a lot confusion as stated in earlier posts.)

Good luck everyone. Looks like I will be attempting a hunt out there this month.

Question: Do any of you use a bike once you've parked? Is this a good method of transport? I use mine at Hagerman and it works perfectly. Thanks!

Definitely for scouting, but not for hunting. Too much gear to tote.

The bands are from a research project TPWD did in the area. This turkey was trapped and banded in 2015. She also was fitted with a radio transmitter with a gps onboard, but it fell off previously.

Yes that is correct after I shot the turkey I contacted the numbers and got a hold of Jennifer which is at biologist and I also contacted the game warden the bird is about 3 and 1/2 to 4 years old it was a bearded hen.

Went and sat out yesterday till dark. Had 2 groups of pigs and 8 deer, all doe and a spike, come by at 20 yards. I wanted to shoot until I realized I forgot my game cart. Ain't no way I was dragging anything that far in that heat.

I'm in no rush. I'm in a great spot that I haven't seen any other signs of humans out there.

Congrates in the banded turkey. I got a friend that lets her come and band them on his private place by the lbj.

Nice

Hey all, newbie here. I've been lurking on the thread and figured it was time to join.

Hunted opening morning and had deer move by me about 30min before legal hours. I was just happy to be in the right place if just maybe at the wrong time. Later in the morning, I heard some gunshots near the entrance. Found a man who had just bought a gun doing some target shooting. Is this kind of thing something y'all see very often?

No. As a matter of fact, if it wasn't a shotgun or muzzle loader, it was illegal to be shooting on the lbj.

And still you find shell casings in a lot of the units

Pretty sure I heard a handgun. I only saw him with a shotgun though. He was so nonchalant that I began to suspect it was accepted practice. I dug up the fines online and saving them in case I run into that again.

Wearing orange

When on a LBJ website, one topic was that wearing orange is required when bow hunting.
I have not been wearing orange when bow hunting. Could of sworn it was not mandatory. Must pay better attention.
Any one aware of this?

[quickstrike]

I believe only if there is a gun hunt you must wear orange but i may be mistaken.

That is what I thought also.
When looking at hunting regulations at LBJ, there was a FAQ link.
That is where I saw the rule, just cannot remember exactly where on the web.
