Put #2 down this morning. His score is gonna suck but he's a bird in the hand. Full grown bird with nubs for spurs. I'll get some measurements on him in a little bit. Got to go help my buddy cut a tree down.

Congratulations fellas, I have been getting after it but just can’t seem to get In Front of one. I had been putting in the miles though it has just been rough. I’m back at again and hope to have something to show for it besides being very tired.

Got on them again this morning. If I had noticed the log 10 yards in front of me #3 would have been down. I worked him for over two and a half hours. He was one of the best gobbling birds I've played with in a couple of years. He gobbled on his own. He gobbled at yelps,clucks, purrs it didn't matter what I did he was hammering. He just wouldn't commit. He would get 30-35 yards and just not show himself. 3 times I had him called in just to have him leave again. Every time I could hear and feel his drumming he was so close but I just couldn't get on him. Every time he would walk off, I would move a little closer and call him back. The last time he came back I just flat screwed up and rushed the shot and didn't make sure I had a good hole to shoot. He gets 5 days to calm down and I'm going back at him. I just hope I didn't educate him too much. If I did, that's ok too, it was fun.

Still rough going for me folks. I have pulled out all the stops and nothing is working. Still fighting but it may be a losing battle. Good luck too y'all this weekend.

#3 went down today. I've still got to post #2 to the page also. I'll get them in the next day or so. Got one more day to hunt. Hoping I can get an upgrade bird.

Well, I ended up taking a whooping, they had my number. I had 4 solid opportunities, but it’s like once I missed on the first one that just set the pace for the season. I hunted more than I have ever had opportunity to and ran into more hunters than I have ever seen in the public areas I hunt. I can’t blame anyone but myself for my mistakes and missing though. It has been Just one of those seasons that makes you feel like a clown car just rolled up and dumped you out of it. Lol. It has been a frustrating time, glad you fellas had a good season, it has been a fun ride! I’m tired and ready to sleep In past 3:40!

I had 4 birds within gun range this year and didn’t get to pull the trigger due to the craziest crap each time. The last 4 or so years it’s been every other season for me. Great year followed by a bad year, but this year I just straight took a whoopin.
