Skunked So Far But ....
So far no shot for me. But having a great season. Plenty of time left to boot. Took my 86 year old dad and terminally ill brother out week ago. We went out 3 afternoons. Neither can make the early hunts these days. Just takes too much out of them. We saw a few hens. Heard a few gobblers. Got within 100 yards of a flock of birds with 3 nice Toms in it. But they were henned-up big time and when the hens left, so did the gobblers. Highlight of the hunt was my cousin took his 9 year old son out Saturday morning near where I had seen the big flock the afternoon before. Called up a nice Tom for the boy. Caleb killed it with his 20 ga. pump at about 25 yards. Had 9 1/2" beard, 3/4 " spurs and weighed 18 1/2 pounds. Don't get much better than that.
