Final Weekend Results

[moodyfour]

Was able to get out only twice the whole season. Was fortunate to get on this bird the last Saturday before I had to take my son to ball practice! Only able to go twice but was fortunate to hunt with my Dad one day an with a close friend for the first time when I killed this bird! Very thankful for another great year even if I only got to go twice! Hope everyone had a great year also!

It was a poor season around here. I hunted opening day and the first weekend. Saw one hen and never heard a gobble. Only heard a few shots on the Sunday of the first weekend, none on the other days. Went to Reelfoot the second weekend to fish. Rain this weekend, tall green foliage, ticks, were all good excuses to stay out of the woods. Bluegill were biting was the best reason.

My job puts me on the road alot in the countryside. All season I was seeing single hens milling around. I did not even see a beard until yesterday, two gobblers in the edge of a field by the road. I rolled down the window and cut loose with a mouth gobble and one answered. I cussed him out loud and he answered.

Next year, I think I will just road hunt in the middle of the day and not even bother with the woods....
