How has the spring gobbler season treated you this year? Are they done over your way??

How 'bout the rest of you?

    Why? Weather? Early spring? Mean turkeys? You suck at turkey hunting? Haha...just kidding. [:D]

    It's been tough here in OH though our harvest is better than last year. The overall weather the last two weeks has been wet and cold which is going to jeopardize the poult survival rate if it doesn't change soon. I took a nice 3yr old the second Saturday. This is our last weekend coming up but, I'm optimistic if the weather holds. Week 4 has been very productive for me the last 2 years. Hopefully, I can convince some ol' longbeard to come and be a movie star in my video! [;)]

    I believe it's over today isn't it? I planned on going out this afternoon some, but I might not. Haven't been out nearly as much as I should have. I woulda went this morning, but last night took a toll on my aching head and I just woke up. (Johnson won at Lowe's again[:(])
    I've only seen a couple really decent gobblers this year, and they stayed their distance from me [:D]. How about you?

    The only three birds I "messed with" opening week hurt my feelings. [:(] I took a nice 3yr old the second Saturday. [:p] Not much happened the second Sunday or the third weekend. I went to my honeyhole yesterday and thought I had a bird in the vest by 7:30a and then out of nowhere a hen comes in and my gobbler goes away. I couldn't believe it...a hen...on the last weekend. [:(!] I figured they were mostly sitting down there by now? Then today...thought I was done before 8a and when a big gobbler with the deepest, throaty gobble I've ever heard apparently saw me swing the barrel into position ??? and flew into a tree in front of me. (I couldn't see him/them) 2-1/2 hrs later I snuck off too call from a different location. His buddy walked off clucking wondering WTH is up with him? Couldn't coax him in. [B)][B)]

    I was a good season overall. I ran my streak to 12 consecutive years with a harvest...14 of 16 overall. This year could have been 3 in a row with 2 tags filled but, that's why they call it turkey hunting.

    You may make a million bucks with a witty t-shirt. Maybe something along the lines of "hunters go deeper in the bush"? [:D][:p] Wasn't there shirt that had something like that on it a few years back? Funny stuff...
