First bird in 2 years. Used the hip waders my mom got me last night for my birthday to get in this swamp. He gobbled 100 times snuck within 70 yards of his roost by accident. Watched him and a hen fly down. Went and sat where they met up on a small island in this water. Called soft and about 15 minutes later he gobbled to my left and I watch him walk in to about 20 yards.


I believe that this is a practical world and that I can count only on what I earn. Therefore I believe in work, hard work. -George Petrie (1945)
