Thanks, How's your season thus far. May 2nd, 2nd bird down. We took another one this morning on film for volume III of River Valley's HeadHunters collection. I took a friend of mine out this morning, in fact it's the husband of the girl in the photo above. Gobblers were everywhere this morning and we pulled 3 longbeards to the camera and with the muzzleblast, it was all over.
PA's opener was a quiet one, but I did manage to bring in a silent Jake that I passed on. He did thrash my one jake decoy pretty good though to put on a good show for us. On Sunday I hunted NY up near Oneonta at Dan's place and we managed to find 2 just before lightthat were pretty fired up on the roost......but after flydown they headed off towards a patch of property I don't have access to. We put on a good 4-5 miles that morning lugging along the blind and all my gear....made for a long day with no action after that. I plan to hunt NY this saturday and thenPA the following Thurs, Fri, and Sat......hopefully that week I will be able to connect on one. That week has traditionally been the one where I have the best luck down there.
Good luck and keep us updated on your dreamseason, I love to hear the stories and see the pics. I wish I had the time this year that I wanted to put in, it is tough though when all your hunting spots are at least 2 hours away from home.
