My car is packed w/ my blind, 2x bows, a shotgun (for pops),camo, decoys, calls, and I am sitting here at work waiting for 5pm to finally come so I can head down. It is going to be a looooong day to say the least. [8D]

There are not many things in life better than sitting at the base of that old oak tree on top of the ridge in the dark on opening morning, waiting and anticipating that first gobble from the roost.........with my favorite hunting partner and best friend...my Dad. Tomorrow also happens to be his 55th birthday, so it will be a special day to spend with him in the woods.

Here's a quick pic of my dads first tom that I called in for him last year. He has been deer hunting for 40 years or so, but last year was his first time turkey hunting and I got him hooked real bad. Watching this tom come in and the one we spooked the day before at 35 yards and seeing popsshaking like a leaf when I was working this guy and getting him to put on a show on for us (strutting in for over 100 yards and well over 50 gobbles) was probably the best hunting memory I ever have had yet. Hopefully tomorrow will be another good day!



I wish you guys the best of luck tomorrow whether you are carrying a bow or shotgun, it should be a picture perfect day for hunting. I will be carrying my Allegiance tomorrow to attempt to take my first spring bird w/ a bow. Remember.........pick a spot,shoot strait, and make it count!
