Dean,
I was almost asleep but when the two birds quit gobbling (twelve days of hunting will do that), I knew what was probably up. There was another behind the first. Good luck with your flocks and hopefully they will have broken up so they will come to your calling. We are in the "rut" of turkey hunting over the weekend and this week, and you are just starting. I would love one year after I retire to follow the turkey "rut" from the deep South on up to the North as it progresses. |

You should do that. There are passionate woodcock men who travel with the autumn migrations and there are grouse men who follow the season from north to south.
Follow your passion at least once after you retire. .

Thanks for sharing Jerry. Calling turkeys can really get addicting. That bird sure has some great Spurs. I just came back from New Mexico and harvested 2 young birds and he Spurs were not much bigger then the size of a black bean. Congratulations on some great birds this year.

It is an addiction; the more they outsmart you the more you want to go back the next morning. It is as if you would give up the rest of the day just to be back immediately to the next day to go after them. |

Jerry The only thing that gets my heart racing like the call of a gobbler in the morning, is a bull elk bugling in rut during the Septrmber archery hunt.
