Holy crap those things are expensive! I can't help you out though.

 

[Boghog1]

yes they are and that is why I will most likely be taking up turkey hunting

Bump, since the spring turkey season is here

What the hell is a roach and why would someone pay that kind of money for one??? Is it just something to put on the shelf? Is there something spiritual about them like dream catchers?

 

[Boghog1]

a Roach is a native american headdress. my son is on the Order of the Arrow (OA) dance team in the BSA. He can either make one or buy one. it will be a lot less to make one

Ahhh, it's making more sense to me now. For some reason they looked about 3" long to me. Thanks for the education.

And, good on your son and you for being that involved in the Scouts. I just got my 2nd boy into the local troop.

If I ever do kill a f*cking turkey, I'll probably keep the beard. At least from the first one.

Me too. Glad for your boy to be in BSA, but this is my first year turkey hunting. Missed one yesterday, but have my blind in a good spot, and will be back out tomorrow hoping for better luck.

Good luck to all, I hope I can get out before the end of the season

Hey man, taking two trips out next week, if I tag out, the second beard is yours. (First will be my first turkey kill.)

Also, it's OT, but thanks for being a scouting parent. BSA is a very important education for boys and young men.

I almost had one Friday with the company van. If I get a second shot at him, you can have the beard.

Bump for the upcoming season
