Turkey - 2012

You'll notice that there is no picture accompanying this post. Well....... that's cuz we didn't shoot anything.
Unlike last year, we didn't have any snow to contend with but we did sit out in the rain for 5 1/2 hours Wednesday morning. Late Wednesday, when the rain stopped, we did start to hear some gobblers. I managed to call one in to about 20 yards. As he circled me in the woods, I saw a piece of his head and fired. Something strange happened. He ran away..... I'd never missed one that close before  so it didn't occur to me to shoot another time. I said a few choice words and that was the only gobbler I saw in five days. John had a couple up close and personal but wasn't able to get off a shot. Al never saw a gobbler.
Nevertheless, it's always fun to sit and listen to all the critters in the woods. A couple of mornings I was sure a pack of coyotes was going to run me over they sounded so close. Saw some hens and always enjoy the fellowship of the local people we see while down there.
Next week it's the Sconnie fishing opener. The boat is ready and the boys will be up Friday afternoon. When I pulled up this blog I see I had a new format to work through. Why must things change?????
If for some strange reason we catch something and take a picture. I'll have to figure out how to post it. UFFDA!!
