Whats going on in Here!

Adrian J Hare · 08-20-2004, 05:28 AM

just wondered where everyone was

Busy, busy everyone is , I'm sure. I was thinking of Huntnma's family with the hurrican that hit the other day,, Hope everyones ok.

I know what Jimbo is up too, (The dirty dog) got me last week. Well seems Jim, Scrapper and my wife decided to have a surprise birthday get togeather. So these 2 guys made a surprised trip to Ontario.. Well that day is normal for me,untill these 2 guys and their wives jump out of the darn woods at me, while I'm just doing my everyday things. Scared the living Bjesus out of me! It was nice to see my 2 pals again and what a surprise. They also brought me a Cement strutting Tom for the yard, and wow it is nice...

The turkeys seem to be holding there own this summer, but I've sure seen alot of small poults. I guess with the wet spring and summer most hens lost their first nest. Hope all is well with everyone, and Good luck on the up coming Fall hunts....BT

thanks A.J.
Everyone is focusing on deer hunting i reckon!

I hope the turkey population is getting better, coyotes got a couple nests where i live in ohio.

Well HAPPY BELATED B_DAY Adrian. And you are correct I know I have been extremely busy at work this year for some reason (which really isn't a good thing). plus I have been learning how to bugle and cow talk for an up coming Bow Elk hunt in Idaho in Sept. If I see half the animals I saw out there while I was turkey hutning it should be a great trip. I hope all is well with Huntnma too.

Happy bithday big man. You're right the central west coats of Florida got pounded by the "cain". At last count 495 thousand plus still without power. Our local power utility, "FP&L" is working 24hr shifts 7 days a week. It's going to be a while for it all to get back together.

Price gouging is out of hand, so far the topper is a tree service company wanting $10,000.00 to remove only one tree leaning on a house. Ouch, that hurts.

I too hope Huntnma is okay also. Been working 7 days a week since May/June to fund all the upcoming hunting.

Deer, Hog, Quail, Dove, Duck, and my favorite: TURKEY.
