I' ve got a 3rd season permit for hardin/gallitin county starts april 18th from what i' ve heard from my cousin who deer hunted down there you can' t sling a cat without hitting a turkey.

I have a third season and a fifth season for Hancock County and a fourth season for Grundy county near my home. I' m going to try to help my college partner in crime get one on the first day of the second season on his farm in Hancock county. I can' t wait. I hope the little missus gives me the go ahead to help my friend even though it' s the day before Easter. Hoss, I' d like to be there when you sling a cat.

My friend and I got up this morning and went coyote hunting. I went to see if there was any gobbler activity yet. The birds are definetly worked up already and we even heard what sounded like two birds fighting. No coyotes, though.
