Charlie,
Wish you had kept all that rain and cold weather. Rained cats and dogs all day yesterday and frost overnight. Had 8 new apple trees and one peach had to cover last night, and they call for frost again tonight.
Heard a gobbler at daybreak and thought it would be a good day to sneak right in on him, except all the leaves were frozen this morning. Sat down 100 yards away, but he would not answer once he came to the ground.
My six hens are still there where I killed the gobbler, now going to be old maids I guess. I'll give them a week and I'll bet some new man moves in. Just like when an old fart dies and the next thing you know theres a young whipper-snapper living with the widow using his guns, cars, money, and wife.
Saw another strutting at 10 a.m. but by the time I figured how to get across the beaver swamp he was gone from the field. But I'll be there tomorrow before first light if all goes as planned. Any luck today?
