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'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.
