Default Rain Rain Rain

It's pretty wet here in the East, all the way up and down the Eastern Seaboard...

But what I want to know is, has anybody been out turkey hunting this morning?

...and how did you do?

Our season in NY opens May 1.
I am seeing a lot of turkey. I don't hunt them.

I don't blame you Bob - my life would be a lot less stressful if I didn't hunt them.

I would have been out after them if the seasons were open.

A friend of mine, the Vt. dairy farmer down the road a mile from camp, three years ago on opening day... 2016 was hunting 300 yards below my camp. These toms were together and when he shot the biggest the other one started to kick the snot out of the dead one, so he shot that one too.

I have seen that happen several times using archery equipment. Never had it happen while gun hunting, seen it on the outdoor shows plenty though. Must be sorta common.

I've killed two gobblers after they pounced on a bird I'd shot. Both were accidents as I thought the second bird was the first one getting up to run off. On two other occasions I got two Toms with one shot, again, by mistake. I guess there's bad luck in turkey hunting...and then there's my luck (a.k.a. dumb luck).

Rains here about half the time. Been raining three days now. Supposed to clear up tomorrow. Got in about 15 minutes yesterday and started to rain. Poured 3 and 1/2 inches out this morning.
