Man I wish you guys/gal could have been with me this morning. I went out scouting prior to light and had the best morning in all my years of hunting/guiding.

It started as I got close to the roost area. I wanted to keep at least a hunred yards between us cause of the open woods this time of year and I just wanted to listen, next thing I know ...goobbbbllele...I sit down immediately and cover up. Next thing I know hens are flying down, cutting and fighting, gobblers are sounding off from several directions, jakes are yelping then I hear spittin and drummin only to see a fan and blue head about 50 yards from me, he struts by an opening at 40 yards turns around and heads back into the flock...a hen cut, he sounded off and two more up the hill sounded off and I see their fans and blue heads....the hen's keep cuttin, the jakes yelp and spitin and drummin....then he struts by me again headed to field, the hens follow, cut and chase on another, he gobbles, the two in the back hammer and two more to my right sound off....

Now I'm watching the clock....I'm going to be late I know it...they finally make the field, I look out and see several deer back lit by the sun, I belly crawl towards the house and get in about 7:27 and have to be at work at 8:00, 13 minute drive, I made it wheeww...man I'm pumped....can't wait

Good luck and thanks all.
