It is funny, almost all of my friends think it is “cool” that I hunt with these classic guns, but when I try to get them to partake, they go back to their beloved technology. I have to judiciously remind many of them that technology seldom compensates for aim.......

I am tagged out with 2 birds down in KY. Heading to NC to chase em through the mountains, where they mostly win, but always worth it.

Monday the 29th is the Mass. opener. I’ll be in the woods in a blind I made when the eastern horizon begins to brighten.

I was in the Sangre de Cristos on Thursday last week...the toms are up there but the hens haven't arrived yet. I'm hoping it's on this week. I heard one gobble and saw one nice tom. There's still loads of snow in the mountains.

New Mexico hunt
I hunted with my brother George for 4 days without able to talk the birds in close enough for a shot with my Parker 20 gauge.
Lots of calling and had 8 gobbling the first morning. They just would not come in. They were pretty henned up. George took this Merriam's the last morning. Had him at 100 yards for close to an hour before finally getting him come in to 35 yards. Headed back up Monday evening to see if the hens are leaving the Gobblers mid morning to lay an egg. Leaving those love sick Gobblers to go in search of hens. |

That's a beautiful bird Phil!
Monday’s strategy sounds like a good one. .
