At 3:00 am I checked the weather -- 25 mph winds and light drizzle. Thank goodness! I went back to sleep and pledged to go tomorrow. We have a week and and half left in our season, and I have a bird in the freezer...but I'd sure like to get one of the 6 Toms that have been gobbling at me for the past week. We'll see tomorrow. Thank goodness, there's a tomorrow.

Garry, I have always hated the early mornings required for turkey hunting. Now, I never sleep in, have always got up at 6:00am, but just don't function well if I have to get up at 4:00. I have killed a lot of birds by not getting into the woods until after 8:00 am. Let them hen up, but by 9-10:00 the hens will leave them, and they will be on the prowl again. This past Sat., I was half asleep in an old lawn chair I had put up in the field, when a bird gobbled a couple hundred yds away and woke me up. He saw my decoy, heard my calls and later became my first turkey killed with a Parker- at 10:15 am.

Hey jerry, are those 3" TSS shells? Looks like they certainly did their job?
