Our 6th and final season ended last Tuesday. I spent 5 days out of 7 of hunting each for the 4th, 5th, and 6th season on my 32 acres. No birds ventured into my sight for those 15 days accept for one hen. I will have to find some spring turkey hunting properties for next year besides my own. I was at least blessed with one dandy gobbler. I think I jinxed myself because I left my Charles Daly home the last three weeks and took my beretta pintail afield.

Great pictures Jim.
I'll be back in the game with my 10 bore D Lifter next spring. Too much crap going on this May and I only got out for the opener weekend in VT but she's having her barrels prettied up at Breck's right now so she'll be looking nice for the 2022 opener. .

A terrible season for me. No birds heard on the farm at all, and none close enough to call to (but, I heard shooting every morning I went). Ventured into another county but the gobblers were all off the property.
I can't wait until the Fall season. My favorite turkey hunting. I finally patterned my GH 32" 10 gauge this Spring and it throws far too open a pattern for turkeys, so it's now my "new" waterfowl gun. The good news is that now I have an even better excuse to search for a Parker turkey gun...hopefully a nice lifter model. Dream on...
